Subject: Apology -no LR content

I Apologize to all of you who have been offended by my e-mail writing 
style.  I have recently received two pieces of feedback that have 
bothered me greatly.

> TeriAnn:
;
> Notwithstanding that you do often seem to come off as 
> a condecending know-it-all
;

This one strikes me in the heart of my attempts to make friends over the 
internet. I have always felt that we are each on a journey through life 
which is hard enough as it is without each of us making it harder on each 
other.

I have been trying to help others on the series Land Rover journey, 
sharing things I have learned in the hope of easing their journey a 
little.  I apologize that I have worded my efforts in such a way as to be 
perceived as a "know-it-all".  I have tried for a friendly bantering 
style but have evidently turned a number of people off and presented a 
negative image.  I apologize for the negative feelings I have generated. 
It was not done intentionally. I look at myself as just another person 
trying to figure out how to survive in the world.  Mostly I do not do it 
as well as I try to.  Sorry.

Even growing up, my sister always said that I always seemed to act like I 
was better than others and condescending.  I have heard that off and on 
throughout my life.  I have never intended to be that way nor do I feel 
that way. My attempts at changing my style of communication to eliminate 
this has always ended in a very frustrating failure.

I hold myself to a set of standards that I try to live by and treat other 
people by.  Being a condescending know-it-all is not one of them and 
certainly goes hard against my attempts to make friends over the mail 
list.  Once again, I apologize.

and from Ben:

>	How ironic that the very next post on the LR list 
> after this was TerriAnn getting into the Mac vs DOS debate.  
> At least fighting about LROA and the AW is slightly relivant 
;> to this list.  Funny how the pot complains
;> about the kettle being black.

Ben, I'm sorry that you took it that way.  My reply to Paul Donohue was 
meant as a tongue in cheek attempt at humor.  My tongue was obviously 
preempted by my foot.

My sense of humor has always been towards the subtle side and is 
frequently based on irony.  I think that is why I almost always prefer 
British comedy to American comedy.  

As you just aptly pointed out, my attempts of humorous banter over the 
internet can and probably frequently does fail to be recognized as humor 
by people who do not know me well.

I will try to remember that and ether keep my sense of humor out of my 
postings or post warning signs that what follows is an attempt at humor.  
No guarantees as I see irony everywhere but I will try.  SO my apologies 
to Ben and any others who were offended by my public reply to Paul.

On the positive side...  As a result of Paul Donohue's posting and my 
reply, he and I are exchanging e-mails off list and are getting to know 
each other better.

> TeriAnn I am sure that, like everyone who does such a project, you
> learned a lot.........except spelling :)

I AM working on that too. My biggest breakthrough in the past was when I 
stopped using the vi editor for writing e-mails.  It made going back to 
previous lines to correct typos a LOT easier.

My next breakthrough has been using a mailer that has a spell checker.  I 
try to use it all the time, but I frequently forget when I'm pressed for 
time.  I have been looking at the words that the checker highlights and 
trying to memorize the correct spelling.  When I have time, I have been 
going over my e-mails before sending them out to correct spelling before 
using the checker.

Admittedly, like in so many things, I have a long way to go to be as good 
as most people.  But on the positive side, I am trying to make headway 
and it does seem to be a source of amusement for those who are less 
spelling challenged.

Once again, I apologize to all of you who have been offended by my 
condescending, abrasive writing style and my failed attempts at humor.  
Except for the rare instances when I feel that someone has personally 
attacked me without cause, I have no intention of degrading anyone or 
making them feel that their contributions are less than mine.  Quite the 
opposite!

Sorry.

The oldest issue that I still have the cover for is Fall 1987, volume IV, 
Number III

I guess that means that there were 15 issues prior to this one.  So 
Summer of '84 sounds about right.

Hmmm somewhere I have a shop rag and maybe even a 'T' shirt with that 
cover on the back.  The cover is the rear of a series.  Opps I just found 
the front.  Summer '87 Vol IV number II.

maybe I should look deeper in the pile?

She's already got a big dog.  Best solution I know of to

nonono  That was for NOT toeing the line. A complete archive of the time

Nope but I keep it handy.  It never seemed useful to spend weeks 
troubleshooting the fuel and ignition systems when you had a burnt valve. 
 I've always thought that it was useful to run a compression check and 
look at spark plug colours when you have a problem that you can not 
diagnose properly within a few minutes.  But then again I once spent 
weeks tracking down a mysterious ignition problem that magically cured 
itself when I changed the fuel filter, so what do I know?

I do keep the Lucas combination screwdriver and point gap tool on my key 
ring though.  Does that count?

I've been to both places.  The RV places have physically big units mostly 
designed to be built into the outside wall of the RV and to heat 
comparatively huge spaces.  They have well mount catalyst heaters, the 
smallest of which might fit.  I checked into these.  They do not seem to 
like heavy vibration and dust seems to shorten the life of the catalyst 
dramatically.

I have newish factory seals that funnels dust from miles away into the 
interior of my LR (attempt at humor).

The most promising one from West Marine is a vertical heater that 
requires a chimney.  It requires more space than I have.  I guess they 
all do.

Russell, I want to have friends on the net, not enemies.  The e-mails I 
received yesterday bothered me all night long.  People wouldn't send them 
unless I rubbed them the wrong way.  I do not want to do that to others.  
I even know Ben personally.  I'm just trying to take the criticisms and 
turn them around to help me become a better person. 

 When I perceive that I have done someone an injustice, I at least want 
to apologize for it then try to correct it.  Sometimes it is hard.  It 
took Tom Wash and I a good six months to get over our bitter fighting 
during the list break up but we have since become friends. That is the 
outcome I would prefer.

Jim, you found my other big fault.  I hold myself to a much higher

else thinks is reasonable.

I know what it is like to be hurt and find it painful if I hurt others.

Subject: My starter motor thinks it is a machinegun

Dear list,

At least my problems seems to travel alone... Since I bought my Rover in
March I have had about as many problems with it as I have had with my Volvo
since I bought it (4 years and 150.000 km ago...). I am not complaining and
I assume my Rover will, in some time, be in good shape because most things
will be new... After fixing the brakes, timing chain + gears, leaking
diesel pump, glow plugs + resistor and more (the car is running for some
days and you start to feel good about it when new things happen...) I now
have problems with my starter motor. It seems to think it is a machine gun.
The symptoms is as follows: When trying to start the machine gun sound is
always there. The engine is turned and the car will start, even though I
think the engine is not turning as fast as it should.  My theory is: The
solenoid starts to go bad and is not strong enough. The starter gear on the
starter is not gripping the starter gears on the flywheel properly. There
are some slipping and the engine will not turn as it should. An alternative
explenation would be that wear in the starter motor gear or the starter
gear on the flywheel (or both) cause them to slip. It doesn´t matter if I
move the car and thus also alters the flywheel. This phenomenon appeared
suddenly and it makes me a bit nervous. I assume the starter motor will
give up in the worst possible spot and no, I can´t hand crank it because
the starter dog has been changed for a ordinary bolt and I don´t have the
manual starter device. Any comments and help will be greatly appreciated. 

When reading the above after writing it I realise it sound like I am not at
all happy with my Rover. This is absolutely not the case and I like it more
and more for each day. It must be something weird when you like a car more
and more even if it only gives you more and more trouble. I guess I am
starting to get as mad as everyone else in this list?

Thanks Bill for your advice concerning my whining gearbox/transfer box. It
looks like I have to live with the sound until I have time and money to
pull the gearboxes and check them. Both the reconditioned gearbox and
modification of the transfer box was made in England by a Land Rover shop
by the PO. I am curious about the out put gear you are mentioning. Did you
see any wear and is it a difficult job changing this gear? 

TeriAnn, don´t bother using energy to defend yourself against people who
obviously lack the knowledge on how to behave towards other people. I think
your technical know how and nice stories are much more interesting to read
about than men (boys?) whining about their green Rovers.

All the best,

This is a landrover which I am looking to buy and it appears in the form of
a series 2 SWB petrol soft top. If anyone knows of this landrover I would be

Also could anyone tell me where I am likely to find the chassis numbers.

Subject: Small Block Chevy

I noticed within the recent Iveco debate that someone had re-fit a 283
Chevy block into their rover.

a) How much modification was necessary (if any) to the engine
compartment

b) Are the motor mounts/tranny adapters/ (anything elses....) pre-fab
and available?

c) since the blocks are nearly identical-- has anyone had experience
with an early model 327

c) and perhaps most importantly-- I seem to remember that conventional
wisdom frowns on bolting up 300 Horsepower to the SIIA ('65) tranny and
transfer case.

My 2.25 petrol is humming right along at the moment-- but the lure of
small block Chevy parts  does have it's appeal---

 However, you got two mails that you think were critical out of a list of how
many?

Just go with the math. I have over 100,000 readers and when two or three don't
like what I do then I work out that THEY are wrong.

We only hear from those who criticise, the silent majority is the vote to go
with.

I understand you have a Green coloured Land Rover ? 
 Land Rovers are the ONLY vehicles worth owning and ALL Land Rovers should be
green.

This, of course, puts you on the side of the angels.

Please do not tell this to my red Triumph TR3. She would definitely take 
offense.  I already had to sell the MGBGT because it kept bickering with 
the Triumph.   

At least the Land Rover and Triumph get along.  I think its because that 
at the Triumph's heart beats an engine that was originally birthed for a 
Fergason tractor.

Subject: Re: tranny jumping out of first low

I`m afraid your gearbox is due for a rebuild. The splines on the gear are 
rounded
to the point where they no longer "lock" sufficiently and under load (such as 
slow
downhill crawl) they ride over each other and jump out of mesh.. A temporary
partial fix is to install a reverse selector detent spring in place of the 
standard
first spring. The reverse spring is a stronger spring and will help to retain 
it in
gear., but it won`t cure it.

Subject: Re: Propane heaters

Eberspacher and Webasto make a small diesel fuelled air to air heater with
the smallest having a capacity of  7000 Bthu`s/hr. The old Volkswagon
gasoline heater was an Eberspacher unit. The smallest unit is about 10" long
and approx.5" dia. and has an exhaust pipe about 1" in dia. It`s not a big
deal to install a separate small diesel tank, especially in a 109. Larry
Berti has fitted one in his 88 and it works just fine on a cold Canadian
night.

Michael.      The only solution for "Mary" is for him to buy a 107 and to 
install
the drivers seat in the rear bed area. At 6'-5"  he perhaps needs one of those
stand up seats the delivery trucks use.Would look good in his Series I. either
that or surgery.

I got a phone call from Bren Workman this evening (Friday 10:30 pm)
indicating that he and family have safely arrived in Edmonton from their
stepping off point in Fairbanks Alaska.

The 109 "Baldwin" is running well with a bit of spring sagging due to the
load on the roof rack.  They will be departing for Great Falls Montana on
Sunday.

Gotta say this...

My votes with Frank. If people don't like what you say f**k 'em and
forget them - life's way too short to drink bad wine.

Now can we can the character assasination / heartfelt self-flaggelation
and get back to Landys (OK, maybe we need to keep the self-flaggelation
handy for this one...).

I really shouldn't jump into this, and it really doesn't have any LR
content, but as a swedish-speaking Finn living in Amsterdam, and with
an interest in comparative linguistic perversions, I just have to... 

The source of confusion is the inability of standard ASCII to convey
the nuances of umlaut characters. The finnish language has two extra
characters, "ä" and "ö", and "ä" is something very different from "a". 

The Formula 1 driver is actually called "Mika Häkkinen", but result
boards and sports TV usually distort that into "Hakkinen". The phonetically
more accurate representation would be "Haekkinen". Well, anyway, the
query word in Finnish is actually "Mikä" or "Mitä", depending on if
you are referring to a concrete, enumerable object or an abstract,
innumerable entity. Sorry for not remembering the appropriate grammatical
term - I spent my Finnish Grammar lessons reading cheap sci-fi and
Biggles, and picked up my Finnish in the back streets of Helsinki. 

So there! Should teach you to make fun of languages even weirder
than you think! :)

<< Please do not tell this to my red Triumph TR3. She would definitely take 
 offense.  I already had to sell the MGBGT because it kept bickering with

 At least the Land Rover and Triumph get along.  I think its because that 
 at the Triumph's heart beats an engine that was originally birthed for a 
 Fergason tractor.

TweriAnn,

oh dear, are you in trouble!
 Luckily you got rid of the MGB. Now these were made in Abingdon (as you no
doubt know) but did you know that the Abingdon lot,  just off the edge of
Oxford, came up with BRG, British Raciong Green... this is NOT Bronze Green.
(I know, I had to sit down and rest when I first found this out as well).
 Then of course, there's the Triumph, not only a tractor engine but a tractor
body as well (tee hee, we once put a TR engine -2 or 3 - into a TVR , it shook
itself to bits in a couple of months).
 For Triumph, see my Gaydon Founders Day interview in the 50th anniversary
issue of LRO - for money you went down the road to Triumph, for fun and
pleasure you went to Rover.
 Not for nothing is there a saying when people are being ignored ''sent to
Coventry''.
 What a hell hole, sell any car painted red and any car made in Coventry - how
you sell yours twice is up to you.

best cheers

Frank
