I expect that this type of breakage is due to the welded diff on these race cars and the Yamaha engine puts out more horses than a Land Rover 4 ever did.

you simply HAVE to join the Ser 1 Club. Those guys really know what they are

And for parts, there are a lot of people, but John Craddock has more parts

good luck with the old lady.

The engine needs a tune-up, so, today I got all hyped-up and bought myself a digital multimeter (Clarke, Model CA500) and set it up according to the directions -one lead on the coil's -ve terminal and the other earthed onto the coil casing itself - the leaflet actually says that the 12V meter needs the other lead to be attached to the -ve terminal of the battery, I didnt think it was applicable to a 24V system, so I attached it to the coil casing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 12 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980914 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Let try this again, the major will probably ignore my last reply as I didn't do enough deleteing. You probably need a mastercylinder rebuild but it may be the push rod and cup that has worn thus preventing the clutch from releasing.

I decided to try removing the tranny in pieces. Worked great. I took off the transferbox first and then the remainder of the gearbox. I was able to do this procedure by myself, with no hernia. Before removing the engine, I'd like to remove the clutch, flywheel and flywheel housing. Seems like this shouldn't be a problem, but anybody done this? Seems like it would lessen the chances of bashing the clutch MC or the throttle linkage (RHD).

From: Faye and Peter Ogilvie <ogilvi@hgea.org> Date: Sun, 13 Sep 1998 20:14:54 Subject: Re: Don't ruin your rover with J**p tricks. Can see absolutely no benefit to a spring over unless you'd like your rover to look like a j**p that some high school drop out has gotten hold of. There are extended shackles as used on Australian Army Series Rovers which give a 1" plus lift. If you want still more height, Parabolic springs will give you nearly a 1" lift and much better articulation to make use of the increased axle/frame clearance. If you go any higher than that, the CG will be so high that you'd be exposing the greasy side on any serious off road adventure. Also, the rear axle limit straps are there to prevent messing up the drive shaft universals, especially on an 88. At full extension on the straps, the universal yoke is just a hair away from contacting the flange on the 88. I also hear that there is a wedge that goes under the springs on the front to reduce the angle of the drive shaft on the Australian Rovers. A spring over would require a lot more than just lengthening the brake lines. You would also have to cut off the spring pads and re weld them on the top of the axles and possibly problems with the steering components. Please sell your rover to someone who appreciates its functionality, as is, if you have to have a 'poser' truck. Jeeps are plentiful and need all that bull shit to be useful in the real stuff. By the way, I'd recommend the parabolics to any one contemplating serious off road work. The improved articulation is like night and day. The ride is also improved.
