Reply-To: [email-masked]

I just was a good boy and changed the oil in the transmissions. In the
box furthest forward (the roundish long thing, not the rectangular
slanted box... the Bible is in the truck and I can't recall which is
which) I found about 1-2 teaspoons of metal dust mixed oil-goo, and one
tooth.  How bad is this? Should I plan to do take it out and apart soon
or is it something that can wait a few months?

That's the main box.  The other is the transfer case.

If you still got the goo, check if it's bronze or steel.  You can ujse a
magnet.  If it's steel, it's frm a gear or a shaft.  If it's bronze it's a
bearing or a snychro ring.  If you're not having problems, you don't need to
do anything about it.  You might want to start stocking away your pennies to
buy a replacement.

Not that it would help me answer your question, but are servicar and
sidecar the same thing? A small car with one wheel that attaches to the
side of the motorcycle.
On other subjects... Damn, its snowing already, and it was just 90 a 
couple days ago. It may put an end to the high altitude trails as Trail
Ridge Rd and Mt Evans roads have been closed. At least I have a good set 
of chains now for those snowy trails. Maybe time to put a hard top back
on again also. Also I got a good joke e-mailed to me that has a unimog 
photo attachment, so I can't send it to the list, but if anybody wants 
it, let me know.

Since the gearbox is in front of the transfer case, the roundish thingie 
is your gearbox.

Depends if you use the gear that has the  broken tooth as to how quickly 
it needs doing.

If you are unclear as to which is the gearbox and the transfer case you 
might consider having a pro go through the box and paying him a little 
extra to allow you to watch and ask questions.  Things are always easier 
to do if you have seen it done before.

Assume all new seals, bushings, at least one gear but best if you 
purchase a gear pair so you don't have a worn gear trying to mesh with a 
new in spec' one.  And probably all new syncros.

This assumes you want a good condition gearbox and not just one cobbled 
together at least cost & effort.

Because the essence of copywright is to avoid confusion between the

Subject: [lro] Smoking Diesel
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hello!
Please excuse my bad english, i'm from germany.

My Land Rover IIa diesel smokes a lot. Grey-white smoke, at all engine
speeds and loads. When the engine is idling, the smoke leaves the exhaust
steadily and with occasional puffs. I had the injectors checked and the
lucas people say they're OK, but i don't know if i can believe that, because
they took no money for the job and it only took 15 Minutes. Now i took the
head off to check the gasket, it seems OK. Do you think it is the injection
pump/timing? Is there a possibility to adjust the pump without this special
tool, because noone seems to have one in my town. Could it be air in the
fuel system? Any advice?

Thanks

Someone once mentioned that that had a series rig with an early Scout 
Holley.  He said it worked quite well and was economical.

Paul Prosser from Whitehall, MD has one on his series. He said it ran
fine at home, but he was having problems being too rich at 7000+ feet.

Grey /white smoke from a diesel show improperly burnt fuel. Some how one
or more of the cylinders isn't firing properly. I think you are correct
in thinking the Lucas people didn't really check out the injectors. I
would 
remove them myself then take them in to get checked.
They are very likely badly worn.
If there was air in the system the engine wouldn't start.

Land Rover never put them on. The Holley 1bbl was a conversion  carb, like the 
Rochester and Weber.

I think he said ge got around 15 mpg with decent power. Not sure how
many miles his engine has on it. I don't think he has ever rebuilt it,
So not sure about parts, but being a Holly, they should be available. I
could give you his e-mail if you want to ask him about it.

Subject: [lro] Hazards - no blinky blink
Reply-To: [email-masked]

I have an odd problem with my hazard lights. They dont work. But, if I turn 
on a blinker (left or right) and pull the hazard switch, the blinker stops, 
like it should, but something is obviously missing because nothing else 
happens. Checked fuzes, I know all the light blubs work individually and I 
checked the littlle bulb in the hazard switch itself.

I had the dash apart today and changed the voltage regulator (yeah! working 
temp and gas gauges!) and actually removed about 10 feet of wire that went 
absolutely NO WHERE, just from one side of the truck to another (I think for 
fog lights that were removed...) but I cannot figure out this hazard problem. 
And no, they didnt work BEFORE I went into the dash, so I know its not 
something I broke today :-)

Thanks all!

We could put them on keychains for when the Landy breaks down. Maybe keep one 
in the icebox for when the Range Rover's AC breaks down.

Being in SA, you would not need the  gasoline fueled heater, AKA "Pile of

They were sold over here, as the "Thing".

In retrospect, my mail may seem dismissing of Adam,
this is not my intent, but the answer perfectly illustrates my point. VW 
powered Landies?
I'll just go lie down, and stop crying with laughter.
But then. the early diesel pickups were getting 50 MPG. Now I don't know what 
to think.

The new TDi Golfs have 100 HP and 200 Ft/Lbs torque. I wouldn't mind at
all having one in my rover.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

When you say 'they don't work' do you mean they don't light at all when 
you pull the
hazard switch, or they light but don't blink?  In any case, have you run 
down all the
lines from the hazard switch itself to make sure Mr Lucas isn't paying a 
visit?  The
hazard switch should actually take the turnlight switch out of circuit 
and start feeding
the turnlights directly, which likely explains why the turnlight goes 
off when you hit
the hazard.  There may be 2 lines running from the hazard to the blinker 
unit; I'd
check these first off and go from there (then again I'm working from an 
Airportable
diagram and it's probably different than your non-military car).

cheers,

I have a '72 S3, the hazard switch on my is a cylinder in the centre of the 
dash with the knob on the outside. if you press it, the byutton comes out 
and on. However, I have to put the right indicator on because the switch 
has worn contacts. otherwise only the  left indi comes on.  lucas sell new 
for #20 and havent got one yet.

Whoa there boy! Don't go down that road! That's exactly what L-R thought
when they looked at the stats on the BMW 2.8i.
