Subject: [lro] SIIa Bellhousing on a SIII Gearbox?
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hello All!

I believe I might have posted regarding this a couple of months ago, but
have since suffered a hard drive crash/replacement.

What is the deal with this? I think it can be done giving the advantage of
the better throwout bearing arrangement but leaving the SIII gearbox. I seem
to rememer something about input shafts or something, can anyone shed some
light? Ray Wood?

Any help would be very appreciated...

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Has anyone had any experience with Lucas Oils (no, NOT that Lucas)?

The guys at the tank museum where I work on our Bren Carrier swear that
Lucas Oil Stablizer is THE stuff to add to an older truck like a Series.
They use it in all their tanks, tractors, and personal vehicles.

Just looking for any other personal experience from a Rover owner.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Had to do some spring bushes today.  As usual, rust welded in place.  The
air hammer wouldn't shift them.

Sat down frustrated and nursed a beer.  I don't have an acetylene or propane
torch.  Should also note I am having an electric service put in the
garage/shed.  I noticed the electrician had left his full sized, electric
jack hammer in the corner.  He used it to drive the service ground rods.

Guess what?  About 30 seconds per bush and no more seized sleeves.  Didn't
try to drive in the new ones though, a bit too much power.

I haven't used it myself but Sandy Grice on the LRO list uses it and says 
it's ggod stuff. He's got a temp sender in his xfer case and says operating 
temps were reduced significantly. The only reason I haven't tried it yet is 
I'm considering switching to a Range Rover so I'm waiting for that.

I'm a meathead. I thought this was the D90 list. Doh!

Anyway, obviously you'll know who Sandy Grice is. He may even chip in.

The fact remains, I think it looks like a good product and you can't beat 
the entertainment value when waiting at the parts counter.

Larry, you are my hero. That act of ingenuity and excess force deserves some 
sort of award.

Niall,

I believe Sandy uses HiTach in the Gearbox/transfer case (maybe the same 
think I dunno)

Subject: Re: [lro] Couple of newbie series questions
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hey, Matt - welcome aboard :)

I second Teri-Ann's recommendation of the factory manual. I've got an extra 
for a Series II, but I don't think it extends to a III. I'll check at work 
tomorrow. If it does, you're welcome to it. I would also strongly recommend 
spending the dosh and getting the factory workshop manual, usually known as 
the "Green Bible". That one book is the main reason so many Series trucks 
are still functional. If only the Miata manuals were so good. The Haynes 
isn't worth much and the Restoration Guide is fair to middling - get the 
official books first.

My unassisted single-line brakes can lock a wheel on dry pavement. I've 
never checked stopping distance from 60 kph, but I just assume I'll need 
lots of space. The leaky swivel ball seals shouldn't affect the brakes, but 
if the hub seals are leaking inside the drum it's possible to pack the drum 
with grease - ask the PO of my truck!

The logic of the red and yellow levers is to keep the uninitiated from 
driving Land Rovers :)  Push the yellow for 4wd on the road, but shift into 
low and back into high to get back into 2wd? Weird, eh?
