You wrote asking for the address for Shire Four by Four In England. =

Subject: Has anyone seen my little spring

You know that spring thingy that goes between the swivel wotsit and the
speedo tingamagig on the gizmo that sits on the engine side of the
firewall - well I too it all apart to paint it yesterday, and have just
mounted it again, and I cannot for the life of me find the spring!

Of course I looked in the box marked "Don't throw away" and the tin
labelled "Assorted springs" - and I even checked the dustbin. I have
spent an hour on an archaeological dig of my workbench - I found lots of
other useful things - but not THAT spring. Now i know I put it in a
plastic bag labelled "Spring for speedo".

Maybe it's in the woodstore, under the metal rack, in the paint tin
marked "UNF bolts" that contains the shoe polish which I use for
greasing rubber grommets?

Am I the only one that does this? It will probably turn up when the job
is finished - you know - in that tin with all the bolts, washers, and
bent bits of metal which you don't remember where they came from?

Until then.... (keep searching)

meeting up on the Saturday underneath the club flags. 4 of us in a 
lightweight and 110/90 (don't which until we pick it up) will be 
heading from B.ham to Devon, so if you see us wave. If any there is 
anybody down that way who can advise us on green laning in the Exmoor

Thanks for the reply. It seems to make sense as it is smoking less when
driven hard. 

In addition I suspect the engine of running too cold. The temp.-meter
hardly reaches "C" when driven for a while, but I suspected that to be
faulty circuits og 12V regulator. Maybe I should check the thermostat.
What temp should it open at? (2.25 Diesel)

Carl

Hi Russ!
I was thinking about it too on my way back from my last trip.  I had 
other 10 LRs for company on this trip.  

As we parted in Eastern Arizona, the V8 people who lived within 100 miles 
of me were talking about a long 14 hour drive home.  Well, with lots of 
mountain ranges where the passes were over 7000 feet and  really STRONG 
headwinds I had a three LONG day trip home.

I could have used the extra days vacationing.  

I was thinking of more powerful engine conversions and the time it takes 
to dive a thousand or more miles into headwinds (well it seemed like I 
was always driving into headwinds), going between 7 or 8 thousand foot 
passes and 3 or 4 thousand foot valley floors.  And those speed signs, 
always taunting me.  I HATED the ones that said to reduce speeds to 55 
MPH when I was floored climbing a grade in second gear overdrive.

I kept looking at the cars hurling themselves towards my from behind in 
high speed areas hoping that they would notice this comparatively 
stationary object before they reached me.

I thought about engine swaps too.

Over the years my spelling/ typos have gained great notoriety and have 
been a source of comment by a great many people.  

When I stopped using the vi UNIX editor for my e-mails my rate of typos 
went WAY down.  Now that I'm using an e-mailer with a spell checker, the 
spelling errors have decreased again.  Consider it self improvement by 
technology advancement 8*)

Now if I can just get others to spell my name correctly 8*)  ;*)  8^)

Take care.

I have not been able to get the rubber seal that comes with a WIX filter 
to seal properly.  I always get a drip good for a quart of oil or so 
every 4 hours of continuous driving.

I have always got the Fram oil ring to seal properly.  But I do like WIX 
filters better.

I used gauges from an MGB.  MGB tachs are positive earth '67 and earlier, 
negative earth '68 and later.  They fit into the large LR gauge hole.  
The MGB fuel gauge requires ether a series III sender unit or the 
standard Lucas after market sender unit.  MGB gauges require that you use 
a voltage stabilizer.

You can purchase Smiths gauges new.

Subject: Re: what to take with you

I just copied this from my web site.  There is a LOT more stuff there

Tool kit

You will need a dry place to keep the tools so they will not rust. I use 
a small ammo box.

* Socket set - I have a three eighths socket set with both shallow and 
deep sockets, long and short extensions, short and long ratchets, breaker 
bar, and torque wrench. In addition, I carry a front hub socket.
                             
* Screw drivers - An assortment of slot and Phillips screwdrivers
                             
* Vice Grips and crescent wrenches - I bring one large and one small of 
each.
                             
*  Combination wrenches - I bring a set from 3/8" to 1-1/8 " including 
second 1/2" and 9/16 " combination wrenches with a different length 
handle from the set.
                             
* Pliers - one gas pliers, one long slip jaw pliers and one long nose 
pliers.
                             
* Cutters and strippers - One large diagonal cutter, one crimper and one 
wire stripper.
                             
* Continuity tester
                             
* Clip lead with alligator clips on both ends
                             
*  Hammer
                             
* Short crowbar
                             
* Punches and chisels - A small assortment
                             
* Drop cloth - I use a 5X7 plastic tarp. You can lay on it or use it as a

Spare parts

You should rotate your spare parts, using them on your car next time you 
need themthen buy new ones for spares. Hoses coated with talcum powder 
and put into zip lockbags will remain good for a long time. Wrap your new 
fuel and water pumps in oiled rags then seal them into bags to keep 
moisture out. The rest of the stuff should bepacked into zip lock bags 
where possible to keep moisture out.

and  condenser.

Lastly

manuals. If you may be near a phone, bring a parts catalogue, phone 
numbers for at least two mail order parts houses and a credit card.

Remember, the very best break down is the one you prevented before 
youleft on the trip.

Subject: diesel engine noise

Masrtin,    whilst you have the engine in pieces have the injectors checked
out at a fuel injection specialist. A clean up will not be a waste of time,
but the epeace of mind from knowing that they are in good condition will be
worth the small expense.

Subject: storage

Carl-Peter..  The valve stem oil seals on LR's harden with age, particularly
when the engine is left idle for long periods. Changing the seals will be a
good starting point. You may also benfit from an overhaul of the fuel
system, again storage is not good for the fuel injection pump unless it is
properly prepared. It is pssible for there to be rust inside the pump due to
the m water content of the fuel.  Star be cleaning the fuel filters etc.
 The stem seal can be changed without removing the head but it is tedious on
a diesel.
