You have to much toe-out , you should set them at a slight toe-in of aprox 1.5 to 2.5 mm difference measured at the rims (done by measuring the distance between the rims at the front and the back) while the wheels are standing in the straight ahead position on a flat surface, adjust, roll the car for a few metres and repeat this until you have the right amount. Quite easy to handle this yourself!

From: debrown@srp.gov Date: 18 Jun 98 09:10:44 MST Subject: Sticky valves From: David Brown - Graphics Specialist ~SRP~ E-mail: debrown@srp.gov PAB219 (602)236-3544 - Pager:6486 External (602)275-2508 #6486 Pers. E-mail: rovernut@hotmail.com John asks about freeing sticky valves... John, how did you determine that the valves are sticky? I may have a similar problem, rough idle, won't pass emissions test, sucking at the exhaust pipe (but not a steady, regular miss, mine is very irregular.) First make sure your valves are adjusted properly. Here's some of the ideas that I've tried: Slowly pour some ATF (or Marvel Mystery Oil) down the carburetor at medium engine rpm. (without stalling out the engine) (Very smoky!) Add 1 quart ATF to oil and run for a "while" (ATF is very high detergent oil - won't hurt the engine if driven easily, but cleans it out.) Then change oil/filter and add a can of "Risoline" (valve lubricant) Add 1 quart ATF to full gas tank. (Smokes a good deal out the exhaust.) I still have a little less than .5 tank left to burn off, takes too long to use it all up if you can't drive it around. I've tried all these with no luck, but I'm not positive that it's just a sticky valve. My next "trick" will be to pull the valve cover and soak things down with Kroyl. (Kroyl is a "super lubricant" kind of like penetrating oil.) If this doesn't do it, I'm pulling the head. I found out a way to determine if it's ignition or valves. If a vacuum gauge reads steady it's an ignition problem, but if the needle vibrates, it's a valve problem. Before I learned this, I replaced wires, plugs, cap, rotor, points, condenser. Then I tried the vacuum gauge and discovered a "vibrating" needle. Experience is sometimes the best teacher, though not always the preferred method of learning! ;-) Good luck, and please share any other ideas or tips you get!

OK - it's not a series, a defender, or a rangie - and it might be a low budget disco, but it's a nice car to drive. My deal says he was also sceptical, "We have a ditch in front of the garage, and anything which can cross it qualifies as being a Land Rover" - the freelander crossed it OK. There's lots of plastic - inclusing the front fenders and all trims, the motor is small - open the bonnet and the first thought that enters your head is "OK - and where's the motor then?" But the motor is quiet - for an SIII diesel owner, overreving is easy - especially when starting up - you can easily think that the motor has stalled. It doesn't drive - it sails - gentle swaying - helped no doubt by the shocks and power steering. And it's fast - at least compared with my 88" - this is a landie which can earn it's owner a spoeeding ticket. But it is still a car - a fine competitor to the jap SUV's - but still a car. And forgive me for saying it - with a price tag of £40,000 for a five seater version here in Denmark - I'll be driving the SIII 88" for a few years yet. Which reminds me - I'd better return to the workshop - tonight is steering rods and joints. Rover on...

From: "brian ..." <brdelab@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 11:00:51 PDT Subject: Re: Sticky valves Have you done a compression check on each cylinder? To determine that I had a sticking valve, I did a vacuum test to see if the needle was vibrating back and forth quickly. I then did a compression check on each cylinder to check the pressure. The fourth cylinder had a really low compression. If you squirt a little bit of oil into the chamber of the suspect cylinder, and the compression increases then it is one of the rings. If the compression stays the same, then it is a valve. I hope that I remembered all of this correctly.

Ie. a four dour front passenger compartment (imagine a 110 county body chopped off behind the rear doors) with a large box body on the back. There has been a few of the hi-cap style pickup body variants for sale recently as ex-MOD disposals with fairly low mileage. These were used as Rapier AA missile battery tractors equipped with V8 and front electric winches, these go for about 7K UK pounds. -- Kevin Whitmarsh Basingstoke, UK 4-wheels 1985 110 County V8 1995 BMW 318IS Coupe 2-wheels 1993 Orange Elite with 'XT,Hope,Middleburn etc. http://homepages.which.net/~kevin.whitmarsh/ ------------------------------[ <- Message 28 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980619 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I decide to change > the rear oil seal out. Are the stains on the outside of the wheel? If so, it is not likely to be hub seal. More likely to be a leak between the hub and the driving member, or the hub cap itself. I usually use silicone to seal between the hub and the driving member. Also make sure the felt gasket around the halfshaft (just behind the 1" nut on the end of the half shaft is OK. Finally, apply a round of silicone on the inside edge of the hub cap before fitting it. Oh, and make sure the 6 bolts holding the driving member to the hub are tight. On some hubs, one of the bolt holes have a small channel into the hub itself. Presumably so you can add oil through it. If the bolt in that hole is loose, oil can seep out there.
