When I say 'let's go for a beer' it is with the intention of heading for the nearest pub to get a drink, nothing more, nothing less When we flew out of B,ham last week, we had all kinds of Land Rover parts with us. I had a skid plate, snorkel, lamp guards, and other sundries. We were directed to the oversize baggage are where the bags etc. were x-rayed. It was actually quite fascinating when I was called to the monitor to explain what things were. There was no hassle, nothing was opened, and we proceeded on our way. The US end was just as pleasant. The only things that were examined were the canned foodstuffs I brought with me. They proved to be acceptable and I proceeded to the cashier to pay the $30.00 duty on the automotive parts. I find that if you declare everything then there is usually no hassle with customs although last trip US customs did confiscate 3 pork pies I had with me.

Aluminum takes standard paint just fine. I shot mine in acrylic enamel which is easiest to shoot, but has a slight tendency to "orange peal" a bit. Without care paint on aluminum tends to wear off sooner that paint on steel, any series truck will prove that theory, but other than an optional self- etching primer, which I skipped when I painted mine for cost reasons, no special prepping is necessary.

Subject: RE: 1970 land rover -whats it worth?
In reference to this answer, I have an additional question: I have a
SIIa 1/2 ton Lightweight utility truck Right Hand Drive, according to
info found on the web there where only 1893 made with an A suffix, and
mine has a B suffix (
http://www.off-road.com/LR_FAQ/Series/FAQ.S.Chassis_Numbers.alpha.html),
another source (Paul Hazell
http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeLand-Rover/LW/index.html ) does
seem to confirm the information and data I have.
So I guess what I have what is a somewhat rare model... It was restored.
The previous owner did some restoration work many years ago and,
according to his sister and her husband (as he has died). The work done
including an engine rebuild and frame replacement. He then, apparently,
used it for prospecting in the Canadian north. The truck looked really
good when I got it a year ago.
I just had all body pannels removed and stripped down to the metal, then
repainted, as well as all seals replaced, all the rubbers redone, new
windows and most non-alu body parts replaced. It's looks new now... but
this was not cheap... and I'm not counting my time or my brothers
time... My intention was to keep this as my weekend toy... but thing
changed...
So the long and short of it is , I just moved to the USA in November, I
decided I needed a new vehicule and got a D90. I would like to keep the
Lightweight... but I'n not that rich... so I want to sell it.
How much is it worth ?
I checked out LRX and other sources and came up with the figure
17,500$... Am I crazy ? perhaps, you tell me (boy am I asking for it !)
I would be loosing money if I sold it for less than 13000$ !
Thanks

Hi All - Dave said... >I was having a problem ... had a sucking of the exhaust pipe when you put >your hand or a piece of paper over it. Can someone tell me what this is like in more detail. Is it a random thing or does it happen every fourth combustion? This has made me wonder about my exaust (please no wise a$$ cracks here (no pun intended) : ) ) Anyway, mine seems to fail to fire every once in a while, but is ok when not at idle. I think this may be more of a throttle body problem. I've got a 7:1 head, 2.25 petrol (un-converted). I just checked the compression, 2, 3, and 4 were 125psi And 1 was 124. I added a little oil, and from what I remember, one of them went to 140 or something two others went up some but not to 140, and one went down (I did this one three times) Is that possible?! Should they be close after oil in a good condition engine? >Vacuum gauge confirmed a bad valve ... Dang unleaded gas! How do you use a vacuum guage - on the intake manifold? Will the pressure fluxuate is there is a bad valve? Anyone want to do this w/me at GP (I don't have a guage yet)? I use unleaded gas w/ a lead substitute. I think I may have been using too much because my plugs fell under the haynes pictures of carbon deposits (too rich?) and exsessive use of upper cylinder lube / worn valve guides. I also lose 1 qt per 100 miles, get smoke on start-up, but fail to see any smoke in daylight. At night up a hill, the lights behind me reveal some smoke out the pipe. At idle w/ the oil breather off there is smoke coming up from the crankcase. **** Oh, one more thing I was worried about - while I had the sump off, I was looking at the piston rods. They move back and fourth a mm or two on the crank!!! Is there supposed to be play here?! I guess I should have measured it but.... Any thoughts on my engine?

Alex Maiolo Hhhmnmm ... could my temperature gauge and fuel gauge indication "problems" be related too? As I boringly mentioned before, I have been having a "problem" with overheating with the Series III. After putting in a new pre-tested thermostat, I had the radiator rodded as well. BUT, the needle still climbs into the red after about 10 minutes at 55 mph. On that test run, a second "problem" cropped up in that the vehicle intermittently lost power under acceleration and ultimately quit running; the cause was an empty gas tank -- while the fuel gauge showed above a quarter tank!! Can someone enlighten my feeble mind as to how the instrument voltage stabilizer works and can go bad? Perhaps then I might deduce whether this might be related to my ill-indicating gauges. The last time the Temp gauge went into the red, it was unusual in that I was taking it easy on the accelerator. Bill in Albuquerque P.S. Don't worry about being easy on me. I know that the thermostat was needed since there was not one previously installed - probably to remedy the "overheating problem" ... and my radiator had a few previously existing small leaks that were closed up by the shop. ------------------------------[ <- Message 23 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980730 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: Re: Volts wagon
Re: Voltage stabilizer:
OK, there are two different types of gauges on Rovers. if yours is an early
IIa (dunno off hand...did you mention it?) then the gauges work straight
off 12 volts - no stabilizer.
If a later IIa or II (does the fuel gauge climb slowly when the car is
turned on? If so, then you have this type), then there's a little block
that turns the 12 volt feed to the gaues into a 10-volt regulated level.
With this, differences in charging rates and battery health don't affect
the gauge readings, which does happen with an unregulated system.
There;s an easy way to tell if yours has gone the way of all silicon -
meter the voltage from the white with green lead on the back of the gauge
to ground. If it's 10 volts (or close +- .5 volt) then the regulator is
working. If it's 12-14 volts, the regulator is hosed or disconnected.
Judging by your symptoms i would suspect the regulator is toast - the fuel
gauge bit is a BIG hint.

P.S>: How do I know which wire? Had the prints for a S.III here in my

Subject: Re: Volts wagon (one last bit)
The voltage regulator is the little square block with 2 wires on it at the
very back of the instrument panel cluster opening. It should test as
follows:
Green wire - Car voltage - 12+volts with the engine off and the key on
White/green wire - regulated +10 volts
Both of these are measured to case ground.

The "play" you mentioned is extreme if it is around a mm. typical is around .003", you check by using a crushable material called plastigage available at parts houses. If however you only had some clicking when you pulled side to side on the rod (left and right not ahead and behind) you probably are OK. BIg play ahead and behind is not a problem, as this is not so critical a measure. The rod is oiled under pressure from the middle and the oil flings out fore and aft of the rod bearing. Coupled with oil deposits perhaps your rings went in at the same time as the rod bearings? Good luck, try talking to some old guys about your motor, Model "A" vintage, they really did learn in a school which is off application to old rovers.

My front springs are really worn, and my clutch won't shift right unless the pushrod it at its 'maximum length'. Thus when I slow the weight of the rover compresses the springs, and when the clutch is depressed, the bottom hits the front propshaft - creating a disturbing clunk/clunk/clunk, along with that feeling from the clutch pedal. Anyone ever experience this? Sound plausible? My front diff 'blocks' are only about two inches from the frame bumpers at rest. The bottom of the pushrod assembly is only about 1 inch from the propshaft. Thanks in advance - Peter Peter M. Kaskan Uris Hall 231 Office / 607-255-3382 Dept.

Subject: Re: oil (?) spray on windscreen
Peter,
Look at your fan blades. Do they look like they've been throwing oil?
Could be a leak up near the front cover being sprayed all over by the fan.
The only other place would be from the oil bath air cleaner. These commonly
rust out on the bottoms. It may be dripping into an upfraft somewhere. Any
new spots under the car when parked?
You're not sure if it's oil? Drain the radiator and refill with H2O and
go for a drive. Do the spots look different? If yes, it's a leaky rad. or
hose.

From: Paul Quin <Paul_Quin@pml.com> Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 10:29:45 -0700 Subject: Frame Work Well, my poor little '61 SWB is looking as denuded as ever. Monday night I drove it up to Blain Worth Auto Restorations, in the highlands near Victoria to have the rear crossmember replaced and some repairs to a bent and rusted front chassis horn. Blain is pretty cool, he has no problems with letting me dismantle the beast at his shop in preparation for the frame work - even let's me use his air tools. Man, that impact wrench turned a three hour mess of rusted bolts on the old crossmember into half an hour's work! Anyway, the rear tub, seat box, floor, doors, front wings, bonnet (hood) and radiator (breakfast) panel are now all off again. Blain wants to pressure wash the inside of the frame and spray that rust converter you've all been talking about (POR-15?) inside all the rails. Depending on how much all this costs, I think that I'll have him respray all the body panels while they're off. Hopefully, with all this free time I have now that the Rover's at summer camp, I'll be able to update my web page. If anyone wants some specific pictures or descriptions of the cross member replacement process, please let me know and I'll try and add them to the page.

And at least 3 are Dormolbiles. And did she miss the D110 as well?
In the case he is not on LRO (he is on mendo_recce) that would probably be Nick
Baggarly's house.

Assuming you're referring to the starter dawg, I sure hope yours comes off
easier than the one installed on my Turner. Three days after I got FINSUP
back from having the new engine installed I was mounting the capstan winch
and needed to swap starter dawgs. Tried all the "field" techniques for
removing the thing--no go. What finally worked was using a 3/4" pneumatic
impact drive. Well, it worked *after* we upgraded the airline to 1/2" I.D.
and cranked the compressor up to 200psi. Jared ("101" Silbersher) figures
it was damn close to 2000 ft/lbs of tourque needed to remove the thing.
Throw a pipe extension across the frame and use the starter motor indeed. ;-)
See some of you at the Peak...RoverOn!

Peter check the condition of the two pins that go through the tube on
the shaft that the push rod moves. It is common for these pins to wear
which takes up much of the pushrod travel and if the holes in the tube
are worn also it could be as much as 1/4 of a turn.
