Just did this.

All you need to pull is the access cover to get the sender and pickup out
of the old tank. The rest is done from below...

Leaky, filler hose, perhaps. I'd be more inclined to believe a bad gasket
on the sender or on the fuel pickup..

Low-quality gas tanks have that problem - they don't seal at the top no
matter what you do with them.

Along similar lines, but from a developing (Third) world perspective:

It's not pleasant reading, but I've always prefered to have an insight

Hmm, I could raise one or two fingers in response to that idea.

Guys, this is my last word on the subject (promise). The US, despite
it's faults, is a beacon of hope and light in an often murky world.
Don't let ANYONE change ANY of that, please.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hello everyone,
recently in my 96 discovery I had to disconnected the battery to replace a 
cable and when I went to turn the dico back on my radio is looking for a 
code.  My code is 31312 but whenever I go to enter it it will not accept it.  
The dealership told me to turn the car on but not to start it, then turn the 
radio on and enter the code, it worked once before but this time I am having 
some difficulty, could anyone please lend some information?

That or around the fuel sender.  Try removing the cover over the tank, 
sprinkling talcum powder around sender, outlet and filler and driving around 
awhile with the tank 3/4 or so full.  I think you will be able to see the 
problem.  Worked for me.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

So my new solonoid is in. My new hazard relay is in. Everything is working 
great and looks are umm... good. :-) Park it and go in for the night. This 
morning? Nothing. Starter goes a kinda sickly whirring noise. Ugh. Battery 
tested only 8-10 volts so I put it on the charger. Charged it up but too late 
to try tonight and tomorrow Im off to CA for a week. Im hoping (and guessing 
from the low volt/charge) that its the battery and not the starter. Also 
managed to trade with a friend for a Jager Ammeter today so I'll be adding 
that, and a volt meter, soon.

TerriAnn (or anyone else near Santa Cruz and San Jose) - Dont be suprised if 
you see a wave from a rented MiniVan. Have to move equipment back/fro between 
SC and SJ and I know I'll check out any rovers I see...

We rented movies one evening recently and before the main show began there
were some trailers for upcoming releases.  One trailer was for the
re-release of Lawrence of Arabia in DVD format which also included a "making
of" documentary.  When they showed a few clips from this documentary they
had a few shots of the crew out in the desert in 2 or 3 Series I 107 (or
109?) open canopy trucks.  Made me want to go out and see this new release.
Might even get some points from SWMBO for renting such a flick!

Subject: [lro] + to - Diesel conversion
Reply-To: [email-masked]

I'd like to thank the earlier responders to my positive ground
conversion question. One small problem. The advice was all apparently
based on petrol, not diesel. The responders all indicated that the
coil wires need to be reversed. 

2-1/4 litre Diesel = No Coil.

and

(2) 6 volt batteries in separate locations.

So, I'm left with 1) Swap pos and neg leads on Amp Meter, reverse
polarization on generator.

What about the battery(s)? Can I run a single 12 volt from one
location without re-wiring? Is the process similar to the petrol
version (sans coil)?

Anyone know if these are interchangeable?  My hunch is that they're
not--seems that the shorter 6-cyl. bellhousing would render the input
shaft shorter.  But, the bellhousing lengths sure don't look
different--it appears only the bellhousing bolt pattern's diffo . . .

No, not mine. But there's a '62 88" Station Wagon for sale in CO. It's got 
a hand throttle and winch, apparantly a very good frame (aren't they all?), 
good body, bad paint, safari roof, freshly rebuilt tranny, mid-1970's 2.25 
engine which is currently running a little rough. $3500 in Meeker. Just 
FYI. I saw the ad in the paper and called up the dude. He doesn't need a 
second Rover anymore, thus the sale. I haven't seen the truck.
