From: Peter Goundry <peterg@aircast.com> Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 08:02:12 -0400 Subject: No Land Rover content other than really cold? Are we being serious here?> Yes Luis, most of the world does not know what beer drinking is about. Unfortunately you are stuck with the light, lager type beers which have no taste and are full of gas. The UK & Ireland are blessed with a bewildering variety of beers ranging from the lagers (Harp, Carling, etc.) to the Stouts & Porters (Guiness, Mackeson, Murphys, etc.) These unique beers are served at a variety of temperatures ranging from chilled to room temperature( bear in mind that room temperature is a little different in the temperate climes of the British Isles). A general room of thumb is: the lighter the beer the colder it is served. This means that the full rich taste of the darker beers are not masked by the cold. Generally speaking, the temperature of most beers served is 'cellar temperature'. That is the constant temperature that an underground room maintains naturally.

A realtive of mine from the UK is visiitng me in Canada. We drop into
a local bar, and he orders a pint of fine Canadian microbrew
(Denisons, if you're ever in Toronto). He tastes it, shakes his head
and sputters: "Boy, o boy, they have a really cold cellar here!"

Subject: Re: No Land Rover content (beer and cellar content though)
Speaking of Canadian beer, when I was in college in Albany NY, I used
to take an afternoon and drive to Canada ( 250 miles ) to get a couple of
cases of Brador. Only problem was that my friends would have it half gone by
the time we got back to Albany. The proper beer temp for a road trip like
that is however cold the beer will get when it's strapped to the roof at
70mph....
Any Canadians that would like to help out an American with some good
beer, I'll be at Greek Peak with cash. I'll be the one in the blue Rover with
the tire on the Bonnet.

Subject: Re: Fuel reading insanities:
The British do know how to build 'em.....
My wife's newly acquired Austin-Healey barfed its petrol gauge the day
after I got it on the road.
After determining it was, indeed, the sender, I yanked the tank (again) and
removed the offending item.
1. The gasket for a Rover sender fits.
2. The sender was dead, dead, dead.
3. The cause of this malfunction was a broken wire on the resistance
winding - thankfully at one end.
The fix for this one was interesting - I slid 2 windings off the coil with
a pair of forceps and connected the end of this wire to the contact on the
12-volt side. Resistance then restored, I silver-soldered the connection
with a Micronox torch (lovely toy.....).
Slapped it all back together and all is well.
Moral: Lucas bits may be odd, but they can be repaired (try the previous
trick with the fuel sender on your Mazda!).

Nate,
Your understanding of the failures of unibody construction is valid, but
many out on the list are stubborn in their support, especially the guy who

My understanding of why heavy work trucks are still body on chassis design
is
that the unibody just does not hold up well to the stresses applied to the
sheetmetal joints and suffers failure much sooner than the standard body on
chassis design. I am no engineer--ask my wife :o) but I do not understand
why
most of the assembly of a defender couldn't be relatively automated with
relatively minor changes to the way the sheetmetal is placed on the truck.

From: Kathleen Hollington <kholling@nrn1.NRCan.gc.ca> Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 12:57:14 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Fasteners and Aluminum rot Hi, I'm currently repairing aluminum rot to the tub of my SIIA and am wondering what the best approach would be to prevent similar rot from occuring. 1. The first area was under the transverse supporting members running across under the floor of the tub. The original ones were rotten and had also rotted holes in the floor (which I patched with 1/16" aluminum, secured with aluminum rivets. I have replacement supports, galvanized steel. What should I put between them and the tub aluminum to prevent a repeat of the floor rot? 2. The angle piece at the lower back portion of the tub was quite corrored, where it attaches to the vertical mounts on the frame. I suppose that plastic or rubber spacers between the aluminum patches (which I will install to repair the holes) and the frame should prevent reoccurence. 3. What about general fasteners, when a steel nut and bolt are used to secure an aluminum piece (such as the tub) to a steel one (frame)? Any ways to prevent corrosion from taking place at those connection points?

From: "BROWN DAVID E (DAVE)" <debrown@srp.gov> Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1998 13:28:49 -0700 Subject: Pulled my head off... ;-) Hello fellow LR lovers, I just wanted to let y'all know the latest on my IIa. As you probably forgot, I was having a problem passing the emissions on my '71 IIa 88 2.25 petrol, and had a sucking of the exhaust pipe when you put your hand of a piece of paper over it. Vacuum gauge confirmed a bad valve (after replacing the entire ignition system!) so off went the head. Sure enough, one exhaust valve was "sucked in" - meaning that the valve seat was worn out. (Dang unleaded gas!) While I was at it, I decided to pull the front cover off because it never had good power, but had decent compression. Also, got about 10mpg fuel economy. After studying the workshop manual, I discovered that the timing gear is off. By around 15-20 degrees! (Counter-clockwise. Er... I mean Anti-clockwise). This is with the #1 cylinder at TDC. I'll be putting the timing chain and gears correctly this weekend, and with any luck, replace the head the next weekend. Oh yeah, one push rod has a bit of a point to it at the bottom end, and should be replaced, but even after looking at all the "brass?" lifter (follower) parts where it connects, I can't see any wear to any of them. (Stupid me, removed all the push rods without noting which ones came from which valves!) Sigh! How can I find which brass (?) lifter parts are bad? Magnifying glass??? Anyone have any great ideas??? What would be likely to happen if I didn't replace the brass part in the lifter? Oh yeah! I also wanted to thank you all for your collective wisdom! I couldn't get the starting dog nut off the front of the crank, and remembered the tip of using a HUGE wrench and the starter motor to "whack" it loose. About 5 trys and it was off! Also, a great thanks to all who responded with things to check for WRT it's problems. Funny observation (at least it was for me): The 1 and 4 cylinders are completely in synch with each other (both TDC at same time) as are the 2 & 3 cylinders, but exactly opposite. Maybe all 4 cyl's are like this, and I just never noticed... ??? Well, wasted enough of your time, Thanks for the ear.

I remember my last trip in Tunesia. 2nd low was OK, but 2nd plus od often was allready too long and I either had to go too fast or got stuck in the sand. Probably Automotives kit keeping the genuine cam is what I need. But I don' like the K&N airfilter because I probably would have to clean it every day in the desert. Now I am using the std 2.5 Filter with a Centrifugal MAN prefilter. You just have to poor out its sedimentation bowl to clean the filter. >P.S. I forgeot to mention - if you can't go FI, at least use an SU carb. I heared a lot of good things about them. Where are the best sourced in UK and what will they cost? My Zenith seems to be tired a little bit, so it might be a good idea to change it. It is difficult to adjust for MOT. But still good for about 18-19 mpg (UK), with the 109. I normaly go quickly, 110 kmh on highways with od. Does it make sense to use SUs with the standard inlet manifold? Automotiv offers a 13/4" SU HS or HIF together with longer runners.

I've been trying to figure out how much I want to do while I have it apart. I'd like to convert over to higher compression while I'm at it, since I believe that I have a 7:1 compression setup.

Mike,

anyhow it was D. Brian Plummer who wrote: 'Perhaps the meek shall inherit the

but, like you, I begin to wonder......

Ray,
from the Lucas catalogue (don't worry, I keep it chained up and apart from
other catalogues/ manuals etc) it looks like we might be losing something in
the translation (again).
For Range Rover 1984 with air con I've got Lucas Part #: LRA 406 - that's 65
amp integral reg and right hand fix.
For same model year without air con I've got Pt '# LRA 407 - all same except
left hand fix.
no mention of yr three lines though......
Best Cheers

For such a friendly country, the UK has some nasty security guards - I guess
for good reason. Either way, if any of you ever encounter the woman at the
American Airlines desk at Victoria, punch her with ALL of your might and say
"THAT'S for making Alex LATE, you stupid ogre!"

You noticed, Alex, we train them well.
However, en route to Morocco one time I slung my hand luggage through the
viewer at Manchester Airport and a voice t'other side said: 'hey, a Land Rover
fuel pump', now that geezer knows his Land Rover bits, recognising it in xray
form.......

It tells how many tons your 101 weighs including a full payload.
This is so that a PFC can sit at a bridge, know that only vehicles less than
less than, say 5 tons, are safe on the bridge, and can easily differentiate
between the vehicles to let pass and the one to stop. I can't recall the
official name of the plate off the top of my head.
