It does sound like a battery problem. Not neccessarily the main power
source but likely the small internal memory battery.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Thought you might find this entertaining...

Just saw this blurb in the latest (7/23/01) Autoweek:

"Think if he'd grabbed an Olds sooner...

On July 5, yet another local Los Angeles idiot carjacked yet another car
and, as often happens these techno days, the chase was broadcast live via
news helicopter.  After the thief was caught, the evening news rebroadcast
chase highlights, including images of the abducted Range Rover running
perfectly fine minus it's front wheel, tire, brake rotor -- everything but
the axle stub.  Its owner testified as to how great a product her Range
Rover was and that it could be driven smoothly.  The result: 800 calls to LA
Land Rover dealerships within 24 hours of the heist, resulting in seven
sales based on the carjackee's testimony."

Too funny this came up when it did.  I am sitting here considering getting
in the Rover and heading over to the store to buy a GPS.
We are hitting a couple new trails in a different training area at schofield
today and maps are very out of date.
Want to use the gps to find where the trail intersection is supposed to be.

Ooops, meant cruising.  Managed to snap the speedo cable recently, so not
sure about overall speed.  But judging by how well I am sticking with
traffic should be in the 65mpoh area.

Do you have a laptop?  Drop me a mail and I am SURE I can help you.  I've
been using vehicle GPS for about 6 years now.

Subject: [lro] Priming a diesel
Reply-To: [email-masked]

All:

In a fit of do-gooder-ism while tinkering today I decided to drain the water
from my fuel filter.  I haven't had the truck long and was curious to see
how much water might be in the filter.  Can't hurt, right?

After doing a few more odd jobs I went to crank it.  Earlier in the morning
it had started right up, even after having sat for two weeks.  This time,
post filter-futzing, it refused to crank at all.  The engine turned over but
never tried.  If it were a gasoline engine I'd say it acted as though it was
getting no spark.

At this point I went to the manuals and began to wonder if draining the
filter had introduced air into the system.  It shouldn't have according to
the manuals.  Nonetheless, I went through the series of steps to prime the
system and remove the air.  I tried the easy method first of loosening the
input to the fuel filter and hand pumping until fuel spilled out.  After
that didn't work I did the full procedure which repeated the previous step
and added loosening the air vent on the fuel distributor body.  No good.

The only other activity under the hood today was carefully washing some dirt
off.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

After you have evacuated all the air from the pump body you will have to
crack open 1 or 2 of the injector pipes at the injectors then crank
until  air-less diesel is pumped from the pipes. By this time the engine
is likely starting to fire on the 2 cylinders with the pipes still
firmly attached. retighten the 2 loose pipes and start the engine.

Aloha, yes a few.
I have Delorme Street Atlas and Topo 3.  Both of which I love.
I went ahead and got the Garmin Emap.  Does what I need.  Already installed
the software on to the laptop.  It came with some more mapping software.
Took awhile to lockin to some satelites.  Kept telling me I was in OZ, but
it's working great now.  Been using it in conjunction with some maps and an
altimeter.  Love it.  Have it set to the military grid system and it's right
on the money.  Next weekend am going to head north and see if I can find a
trail head that hes been eluding us.

This is an external altimeter, I trust?  The alititude function of GPS isn't
worth much.
