Morning Bill,

I just finished rebuilding my front diff after knocking a tooth off the ring 
gear.  Because I didn't have freewheeling hubs (notice past tense) the major 
problem was getting out of 10mi of heavy off road to someplace where we 
could pull the diff and remove the ring gear.  By the time we got out, ring 
gear teeth were gone from about a 90degree arc and the rest of the diff was 
shot.  Fun, fun, fun.

Anyhow, rebuilding a diff is relatively straight forward, except that you 
pretty much need a press to R&R most of the bearings.  I have done it 
without a press in the past, but it can take up to 5 hrs off the rebuild if 
you have access to one.

I suggest that you go to the OVLR site and link to the alternative parts 
listing on the LR FAQ site.  They have the SKF bearing x-reference numbers 
so you can order them ahead of time.

Also, be sure to order lots of different thicknesses of the two different 
diameter, steel shims.  You would be amazed at how fast you can use them up.

The fiber idler gear spacers may be OK, and then again I have seen them come 
out in pieces, if they are there at all. They also come in two different 
thicknesses.

Good luck!

If all you've done is waste the spider gears, then you're really only
doing a half rebuild. Once you unbolt the carrier yoke and get it out,
you just have to replace the busted bits. Put it back together and use
the adjusting "nuts" to center the carrier in the housing. You can tell
when it's centered by feeling the backlash by hand. You shouldn't need
any special tools.

I have a photo for you from our 12.5 hour trip 180 miles back from the Hope
Center in Maine.  My Lightweight was limping home with the rear prop shaft
removed, and then it started to lose it's points, and Wilson's 101 transfer
case kept popping out of 2hi, so we had to rig a sling from my hi lift, that
held it in the up position... plus his center diff lock had not disengaged
so we removed his front prop shaft... on my truck, we removed the rear
halfshafts, prop shaft, and were going along good until we stopped for
Wilson's repairs, then we tried a host of things on mine, cleaned out the
entire carb, sediment bowl, and finally fiddled with the timing and
distributor (which had a cracked inner casing and very worn rotor and cap,
and finally, magically, we were on our way again....

I left the rest of the group with 7 miles to go to home and got all but .73
miles before I had no contact between rotor and contacts.  I decided I could
crank it home using the starter motor, which worked ok except for the 12V
solenoid Al had put in to get me by... Sorry, Al, it hung on a long time...
then I started pushing... another .25 mile... I finally got a boost by a guy
with a GMC pickup, and rolled into the driveway WITHOUT CALLING THE WIFE for
help....

Ahhhhh....

land rover series trucks used 9" and 9.5" clutch discs. the clutch
center splines however are the same as those found on some chevy's, I
have asked for a disc for a '74 vega at the local parts house and it
matched just fine. except it looked sort of wimpy compared to the
genuine LR item. Take yours to the store and start with full size chevy
pickup truck parts.  as long as the diamter is the same as the pressure
plate, the splines match, and the center hub of the driven plate
doesn't interfere with the flywheel or input shaft, you should be ok.
Once you figure out which part# you need and what vehicle(s) it was
used for, give the folks at centerforce a call, and get a heavy duty
centrifugal disc and pressure plate set up.

later

First thing I did when I got home from the store was to go to www.garmin.com
and order my antenna, and external power adapter.  I have 3 different pieces
of mapping softwhare, all of which work with the gps.  Also have Solus so I
can create a trip with Delorme streets or the topo mapping software and
download the maps to my palm.  I didn't get the Delorme GPS and am not sure
if the Garmin will plug straight into the palm.  But the gps does have a map
screen.  Works pretty good.  I have a bracket on the dash for mounting a
camcorder that I am able to attach the GPS to.  I love the MPH and trip
odometer functions.
I would like to see if I can find any mapping software that runs on a CE
device.  Laptop is just too big.  Not sure what I would do with a laptop in
a Series either, where I would put it.
But planning the trip using the laptop software and then loading it up to
the GPS is pretty cool.  Did that to make sure I wouldn't get lost driving
to work this morning  :-)
Later
Pete

Love it.  Never heard of the sport/game before, but it is cool.  Not many of
the sites are here on Oahu.  Most are on Maui.  But the 3 I found on Oahu
are all very close to my house.  All on trails I have hiked.
Will have to start setting up a few caches of my own...but on 4x4 routes we
use.
Thanks Matt

GM engine to LR gear boxe conversions commonly use a GM flywheel and LR

No Numbers, but it fits rather nicely against the Chevy Flywheel.  I cannot
repalce the pressure plate because it was custom made with extended

Reply-To: [email-masked]

I'm having some problems getting my stock 2.25 started after a month or so.
Here are the issues.  I am getting no firing what so ever.  The ignition is
all new (points, plugs, wires, condenser, cap) except the coil which I
suspect.  I tried using stating fluid to get it going ,but nothing.  I don't
think it is fuel.  The carb is pumping gas to the intake.  I checked timing
and it is fine.  I am getting spark as a checked a plug and used an
induction timing light which was operating properly.  I did notice the coil
is getting extremely hot which maybe the culprit.  Where can I source a coil
locally?  I remember there is a ballast issue with the coils.  Any other
ideas?

OK, as soon as you get up here you're a trip leader.  Just make sure you have the cliffs clearly marked on your topos, and I'll be right behind you.

>Love it.  Never heard of the >sport/game before, but it is cool.  

The trip I set up in the Olympic National Forest in April was a derivation of geocaching - I called it a "geo-clean".

I set a course in 3 sections with checkpoints and devided the participants into 3 teams.  They were each given starting waypoints and cut loose.  From the first waypoint, they would receive geographical and lat/lon equations to find the next clue in the course.  At each checkpoint, the garbage collected by each team was tallied up, and the team with the most garbage was declared the "winner" of that section.  The rules get pretty complicated from here, because I needed a way to remove any benefit of speed from the competition.  I was able to in the end.

On our first attempt, we collected a couple trailer loads of trash and had a huge amount of fun.  Anyone interested in full docs on the game can email me offline and I'll send a copy.

Go to a foreign auto parts place and ask for a coil for an MG Midget. Any
internally ballasted coil will do fine, or use an externally ballasted one
and add a resistor if you're desperate....

Been here, done both at one time or another.

Dumb question - are you absolutely sure you wired the points right and
haven't shorted the lead from the distributor? The wire needs to go UNDER
the plastic cap, not above, else it shorts right to the distributor body
and you get a hot coil 'cause it's in circuit all the time..

Recheck the points installation just for laughs...

Unfortunately my series III 109 ("Truck, No. 3, 3/4 tonne" in Mil-speak) was one of only 2 Land Rovers on display.  The other was Bob Lehman's Shorland.

Maybe, next year there will a better showing when the convention is held in Texas.

Not much to add to Master Richer's advice, other than to concur strongly with this last part.  I would pay particular attention if the points were recently r & r'd.  Not that coils are good forever, but I've purchased about twice as many as I've actually needed over the years trying to shortcut a troubleshooting procedure.

Yep, I concur with others here, check the distributor wire connection on 
the points.  About two months ago I managed to hook mine up incorrectly and 
got the same symptoms you have.  The top plastic connector goes through the 
terminal end of the wire so the wire connector is _under_ the plastic.  The 
best coil in my opinion is the Lucas Sports Coil, available where ever MG's 
are serviced.

I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon on my back under the truck
getting myself as absolutely grimy as i possibly could. I knew the
parking brake was in need of attention as it would feel loose when I
pulled on it and it would rattle a bit on some occaisions but by and
large it was doing it's job.
When I got under there I was able to wiggle the backing plate pretty
good, like a quarter inch. Not good. After some disassembly,I found the
studs that hold the backing plate had actually fallen out and were
rattling around inside the parking brake! Only one stud still was doing
anything and not much at that. Four hours later it was back together,
all tight and adjusted to a T.
I went ahead and removed the output flange from the transfer case and
I'm glad I did as it made getting to the (chewed up) backing plate studs
much easier. Those are 3/8x16 by the way. I had to run a tap into the
holes to clean up some damaged threads.
Just a reminder to check this overlooked but critical assembly...

if you are getting spark, it ain't the coil. have yyou got the plug

The carb is running wide open, no air filter connected.  I checked the spark
with a timing light and the timing is at 6deg BTDC.  Double checked wires,
all correct.

Is this for the early Lucas points.  This could be my problem.  So I am
clear, when installed the condenser wire and the low tension lead should be
touching with the plastic insert on top.  (Its been a long time since I had
a vehicle with points.)

Subject: [lro] Tranny Problem Solution
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Well, thanks to everyone who responded to my request for help with my tranny
problem.

The winners are the linkage suggesters.  The kickdown cable is seized.  What
is happening is that when the engine is given throttle, the linkage is
pulling out of the cable with the inner wrapping.  Does that make since?
The cable is in an inner cable protector which is in the black plastic tube
that you see going from the engine to the tranny.  Well when the cable is
pulled the inner protector is going with it and it doesn't go back in,
leaving slack in the cable.

That solves the problem of when I get into 2nd and let off the pedal only a
little then press it again it acts like it is in neutral and revs up but
doesn't speed up.  Isn't it amazing how you find the problem and the light
bulb in your head goes on and you go, "Oh!!!!!! That makes sense, why didn't
I check that first!"

So it also solves the problem of it revving up to 4300 rpm before going into
3rd and then it fiercely shifting into it.  It is because there is so much
slack in the cable that is has to be stretched that far to actually tell the
tranny to change gears and at that point it is really revved up and jumps
into gear.

Now for the work.  The manual says to remove the front exhaust manifold, do
you think I should replace the gasket at the manifold connection since I
have it off?  Also, it says to use the kickdown cable remover LST112 to
remove the cable and a selector linkage setting gauge LST109 to set the
control unit and of course I have neither of these tools, any suggestions
what to use or just use whatever to remove the linkage and eyeball the
control unit position?

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.  Great group, now everyone have a beer on
me.

Springs seem good.  Swivel hubs leak.  Engine and tranny rebuilt, but I can't recall when, don't know the details.  Has hand throttle.  Can not recall if it has trop top or not.  Has SW door.  This was an inland western oregon rig until a year or two ago when he took it to tacoma.  He has offered it to me for 5k and I would buy it if I had the money.  I won't be getting any kickbacks if you buy it, I just want it to go to a good home, as I had my first rover ride in it when I was about 15.

I agree with your purchase of remote antennae and power cord.  Truth is, the 
MPH and trip odo are what I use most.  On longer trips the trip function 
using waypoints, especially the ETE (to next waypoint) is also useful, ie. 
fun.  As for maps, seems to me that concentrating on a 2x3 inch map would be 
a good way to achieve a full tree wrap with a LR.  Good luck.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

The ten inch diameter clutch which will fit a Land Rover gearbox input
shaft was used in one of the Jag models, I have a strong feeling that the
Rover 3 litre manual also used a ten inch clutch.  ISTR I used one in my
Perkins engine swap in the early seventies

Only been in Hawaii for three years.
Spent 22 in Maine, think that qualifies as foul. :-)

This reminds me that I need to get the Zit's e-brake working. Right now it 
has new shoes and springs and the output shaft seal is new and does not 
leak. I doubt the parking brake drum would be worn oversize but who knows. 
Anyway, I adjusted it up so I just couldln't move the drum by hand. When I 
put the brake on and try again the drum is loose. Should I order new 
bushings for all the pivot points or something? Other than play on the 
system I've got no idea what the problem could be.

Subject: [lro] 110 purchase..and questions
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hello all,
   Aggrevated at not having had time to work on putting the 109 back
together
and a timely call from a guy I met last fall, I bit the bullet and
bought his
RHD 110 with a 200 TDI.  The drivetrain, chassis, and bulkhead are
rather
newish, but the rest of the truck is early 80's stuff.  In fact, the
rear tub is
identical to a 109 except for the shape of the wheelwells and taillight
placement.  The cappings are galvanized as well as the roof drip cap(top
is
early 110 with external ribs like a series).
    After sorting out a few minor problems, this thing still doesn't
have any
power whatsoever.  I know that I am used to SWMBO's 4.0, and my highly
modified
3.5 in the hybrid,(and not to mention my Powerstroke), but this thing
has less
power than a 2.25!  I've checked the obvious, fuel and air filters, etc.
Turbo
is whistling nicely.  Could it be valves out of adjustment?  Does anyone
know
the gap on a 200 TDI?  How do I subscribe to the UK list for their
wisdom?
    Now to my 109 project.  All is for sale.  The sale of the rolling
chassis
(Chassis, Puegeot 2.5 turbo-diesel, Steve Parker adapter plate, new
clutch,
"gone-through" tranny, rebuilt front and rear axles, new front springs,
rearched
rear springs, six cyl. brakes on front axle) is pending, but if no
progress on
the deal is made soon, it'll be on the block.  The rest of the parts are
in good
shape, I've replaced the footwells and doorposts on the bulkhead, and
the rest
of the body and roof are excellent, besides the usual such as t-posts,
front
outside wings,  and front doortops.  The rear tub and top is a gem, only
needs
paint.  Headliner is great, and most of the elephant hide trim is
intact.  The
middle E-hide seat only has a one inch tear. I have parts of the E-hide
rear
seats but not much in the way of front seats.  Even has intact heated
windscreens!!!  If someone gets the whole thing, I imagine that they
could have
a nice 109 turbo diesel on the road for well under 5k.  I'll even throw
in the
other NADA 109, although I used the top and sides for the hybrid.  But
most of
the rest of the body is still there, rear tub, bulkhead w/ front clip
still
attached,
    If I sell the rolling chassis, all parts mentioned above can be had
for a
very low price.  But I  would rather someone buy the whole thing and
restore it
though, I hate to see it just parted out.
    Let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't the 200 TDI have hydraulic lifters?  My first guess would be the
distributor pump timing.  You can subscribe to the uk list at

 The adjuster is a tapered pin with a sort of square end so it adjusts by
quarter turns. If it is not quite true when you pull on the handbrake, or if
you have taken up a lot of slack, then the action of applying thje brake
lines everything up and when you release the brake the drum may be quite
free. You repeat the adjustment until the drum isn't free after applying the
brake and then back off 1/2 turn. The brake (if it's oil free) should hold
properly at this point with motion to spare. The brake can be used to stop
the vehicle too, but must be used with care as it can contribute to rapid
half shaft failure if applied harshly.

True enough.  Perhaps I should rethink my approach to winter activities.  I tend to go skiing/snowboarding in the winter and leave the offroading for spring/summer/fall.  I'm getting old though, and stuff (like ankles) is starting to break when I slide downhill.  Maybe a nice offroad course and campout is what an old fella like me should pursuing after the weather turns.

Hi all,
 I did try to fit a 10" clutch when I used a scotties adapter to install
my 4.3 chevy the problem was not the clutch but the pressure plate
rubbing the trans. bell.  Grinding the bell would have never provided
enough clearance.  The trans. was a NADA which has a different  (read
smaller) bell.  The four cylinder bell may fit the 10" clutch.

You can on ice.  Didn't you guys do that as kids?  Get some speed up in a
vacant parking lot covered with ice then yank the parking brake and crank
the wheel and start spinning..........what foolish kids we were!
