Subject: Re: IIa body re-install - tips?
Hi
would it not be handy to put the motor and gearbox back first?
Then install the two upright standing posts to attach the bulkhead to
and the steering box assembly minus the steer, slide in the bulkhead
and loosely attach the two bolts on the chassis. Reinstall the reartub
if you have taken it off and then install the doors and align the
doors by positioning the bulkhead. At least this is what I intent to
do in the next three weeks, any comment on this procedure???????
How do these shims look? The only shims I found when disassembling my
two '88' SIII's were the ones to go between the rear tub and the
chassis on the front side, an a number of them which were placed
between the steering assembly and the bulkhead (these have three
holes in them and are placed to fill the gap betwqeen the positioned
bulkhead an steering box)
Success and keep us posted with any tips on your part!

That's absolutely terrible!!! I've bought and sold several things to other
LR owners via the various lists, (lights, wheel, tire, roof rack, lockers,
more??) and have NEVER had a problem with any transaction. Everything went
as planned, and all parts were as described, which was better than
anticipated. I even bought a IIa 109 via a list member, sight unseen (only a
photograph!). Still, I do realize that these things happen, and some LR
owners are a*%holes like any other brand of car owner out there.
I think COD is a very acceptable way of doing business, and will probably
want to do things this way the next time. I don't want to push my luck!
If it's any comfort to you, he's probably had the engine blow, then the
transmission... HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!!! THAT SOUNDS LIKE MY ROVER!!! DOOOH!!
What have I done to whom???

Anyway, I din't mean to confuse, but i thought you were asking about using a one ton forward control as the basis for a Dormobile conversion... a bit odd, and hard to make the parts fit so I suggested a radio body 101. A radio body 101 is fitted with a "box" rear compartment instead of the load bed and canvas top, that way they could mount radios, etc., out of the elements. I meant Full Hard Top by HT, as opposed to just over the driver, like a pick up. There are sometime ads that show radio body 101s in LROI... --pat. ------------------------------[ <- Message 35 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980617 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

(FWD) (FWD) This series 2A of mine (on a D plate) does it have positive or negative earth? Before you go and tell me to look - I already have!! Both terminals have heavy black leads coming from them - the negative side drops down below the battery (to wet to crawl underneath) and the positive side attaches to a large 'bolt' in the middle of the bulk head along with a couple of other thick black leads. The reason for asking is really to make sure before fitting my radio and CD changer from my rover car because I don't want it all to go up in smoke. It will be very interesting to see how the CD performs in the series 2 - it will probably only work at traffic lights. Regards Alan.

Does this mean that I won't have to worry about fitting hardened valve

However an alternative situation can give rise to the suspicion of a failed big end bearing and that is premature injection. If the injector spring breaks, or the locknut comes loose the fuel is injected very early, this has the effect of advancing the timing to such an extent that it tries to fire on the upstroke and it sounds like a duff crank. Something else to check. Whilst the engine is running, slacken the feed pipe to each injector in turn, if the noise dissapppears when the injector pipe is slackened then this points to the faulty injector.
