Welcome back, Adrian

The no maintenance routine is a corollary of the "What you don't know can't
hurt you" rule. I have a friend (no names, no pack drill) who runs a Land
Rover with multiple leaks of major proportion, rusty springs, smoking
exhaust etc. It always starts, runs excellently and takes hime everywhere he
wants to go. Unfortunately when something does break it is usually costly.

WHO let the smoke out? WHO? WHO? WHO?
My intermittent/variably phased dash lighting is often "fixed" by
wiggling the dash light switch. Restricting travel to corrugated surfaces
also helps.

If you have purchased a copy of the book you can legally scan the pages 
for your own personal use.

However selling, or giving the scans away (Putting them up on the net 
equals giving them away) may result in Rover or Ford lawyers or law 
enforcement officers knocking at your door.  No more e-mails if the law 
enforcement types confiscate your computer.

Due as you wish, just understand before hand that it is a crime almost 
any place in the world and if you get noticed chances are someone 
official will do something about it and you will be out somethings. 

The factory owners manual and maintenence manual(s)  are extremely 
important to owning a series Land Rover.  It is easiest just to consider 
the price of a set of manuals as part of the price of the vehicle.

Hi Adrian!

Welcome back!!

I'm missed your intersting and thoughtful list postings.

Lost the steering box on your 109.  Bummer dude.

Have you considered going to power steering?  Since you are left hand 
drive that is easily done with a Scout II steering box and pump.

Just a thought.

Any recent trips to Alaska or other interesting places?

Take care

Does anyone have the OD and ID of the gaskets in the Warn Lock-o-Matic Free
Wheeling hubs.  Warn calls one the clutch gasket and the other the hub
gasket.  These are two fiber gaskets about 4" in dia with a bolt circle on
them. I omitted mine and used Hylomar but without the gasket thickness the
hubs won't disengage.

hehe, me too. perhaps here in the UK they are considered less holy. I wish I
had had someone film me destroying the old chassis from my lightweight.
basically jumped up and down on it until it snapped in two enough times so I
could lift each piece.

I removed the rear axle by tying the crossmember to a tree and the axle to
another (functioning) landy. gentle squeeze on the (v8) throttle and and the
spring hangers gave nicely.

scary thing is I drove that one 20 miles before stripping it...seemed fine.

btw, thanks for the replies on my tub front mountings. I've made up new bits
and the new(ly repaired) chassis and tub are nearly ready to be reunited...

...gently, I promise.

Also, just out of curiosity, do you recall the name of the superior single-

Subject: [lro] Rovering on
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Since my last regular postings two years ago, rovering has been a mere
dream - realised only with the occasional trip to the shops and a single
location filming trip to Norway last Autumn in the Defender.

I've been editing a big project - my series from Alaska - and a film
about commercial whaling in the Antarctic in the late 40's. The eidting
has been the easy bit - the hardware has given us lotrs of problems -
the details of which are certifiably off-topic, but which interestingly
resulted in my changing to a system from dell computers - there were a
few teething troubles and a letter to the proprietor - Michael dell
himself resulted in immediate action in the shape of a service engineer
from ireland vising us here in Denmark. That's service for you. When he
arrived at our place in the boonies, he found himself surrounded by
series III's and it turned out that he too is an avid (and multiple)
Land Rover Owner! It made a great start to whatr has become a great and
seemingly long-lasting professional relationship. With Land Rover
ownership in common, we soon found a mutually acceptable approach to
dealing with a pile of computer hardware and software issues - and we
ended up trying things (and succeeding many times) which I am sure we
would never have attempted if we didn't have the starting point of
rovering to convince us both that the other wasn't a complete bodger! So
even away from my not so rusty toys, membership of the brotherhood has
had its rewards.

The contrast between computer technology and rovering continues to amaze
me - two years ago, my most powerful workstation was a 500MHz AMD -
today we're talking several dual processor P3Xeons or P4's with a Gig of
ram and over a terabyte of storage. By this definition, the gear I was
working on two years ago is now good for noddy, whilst the gear I'm
working on today will be an obsolete investment soon - probably before I
finish this mail. Compare that with the Series toys - two years ago my
newly rebuilt 109 was a 24 year old jalopy, today she's a 26 year old
jalopy, whose value and reliability (steering excepted) hasn't lost a
tad.

In the meantime, Denmark has survived the latest wave of social
democratic protection from oneself - higher taxes, more laws, controls,
surcharges, green taxes - all in all a less friendly environment for any
foreign deisel powered truck owner. Thankfully those days are about to
rescind into memory, as a new liberal government is about to take power,
under which it may again be respectable to own and drive a motor vehicle
in this green and pleasent land.

My 88" is off the road these days - not due to mechanicals, but a
question of economy. When I can afford to put plates on her again, she
she will be re-registered as a private vehicle (white number plates)
which will allow me to have the entire family in the car at once (My son
is now 2 years old and needs a chair of his own).

But before the 88 gets back on the road, I am considering a new frame -
galvanised throughout again - not that the current frame isn't OK, but
it needs a paint job, and quite frankly, I want an easier way of having
a nice looking land rovers than having to paint her bottom every summer.
So I think I'll plump for the once-and-for-all solution.

Then a few months/years of very low maintenance...

I bled the clutch on the 109 today - had to jack her up to fit myself
underneath! But I managed to complete the operation for once without
covering my hair with clutch fluid. (Why do the cartons of hydraulic
fluid always get labelled brake fluid and not clutch fluid??? I'm sure
that someone out there will tell me there is a difference between brake-
and clutch fluid...)

Nice top be back - what was that about bull-bars?

:-)

And only came in second.  Probably because they rejected the 88.

But the 88 was engineless and the Jeep had a complete and intact driveline

That had to be a big time savings over doing an 
engine/gearbox/transfercase swap in a series rig within a few hours.

Adrian:
	I see from the digest that you are back!  Welcome back.  We missed you.
Whenever I think of rebuilding a starter motor or pulling a part just to
repaint it I think of you.  I think you will find not much has changed here!

	On the power steering thread:  The wrecking yard I found that supposedly
had three scouts and at least one steering box actually had none.  They did
have three scouts, all gutted of front axles.  No wonder their price quote
for the steering boxes ($60) was so good!  Dontcha just love wrecking yards.
Spoiled a part of an afternoon, but I was able to visit Wacky Willy's, my
favorite GI Surplus store, right next door!  I also found a box later that
day, from the same guy providing me a pump and remote reservoir to run the
steering and a hydraulic winch.

	Adrian:  which should I use in my swivel balls, grease or 90 wt?  Isn't it
grand to be back?

The yards are obviously seeded with good engines as well as items that are 
needed for the challenge. For example, there was a steam-powered race a 
while back and surprise! functioning boilers and steam engines were 
discovered. The best challenges are the ones where there's no seeding.

My favorite was when the teams had to build a fireboat. One used an old car 
engine (seized up) and made a pump out of that while the other BUILT an 
impeller from scratch. The second team attached the impeller to the rear 
propshaft of a Land Rover and put pontoons on the side of the truck. Worked 
like a charm and 100 points for creativity!

My favorite was from last Thanksgiving's Junk Yard Marathon.  The two teams had to build and fire a cannon.  Another favorite is the car crusher.

In my absence I have philosophised over the swivel ball issue, and have
bveen waiting for the excuse to expound the new theory.

I'd go for grease in the left hand housing and 90wt in the right - that
way, when one of them finally dries up and overheats, you will know that
whatever was in the other swivel housing, should have been in the fried
one.

For simultfneous benchmarking of alternative lubricants (guiness, neat
alcohol, nitroglycerine, custard et al) you could even install swivel
balls on the rear axle (with FWH's of course) - and run two extra
concurrent tests. This configuration - given a few extra track rods,
makes the Series III a perfect crabbing steerer, eminently suitable for
tight parking conditions in the urban environment.

Hope that answers simon's question - here's one from me - does anyone
out there still use Red hermetite? Or has everyone gone liquid gasket?

What kind of wrench do you use to take off the two nuts holding
the rear wheel cylinder in place on a series III...doesn't seem
to be enough room to fit anything since one side is kind of blocked
by the brake shoe backplate configuration...any suggestions?
thanks

On my series III's the rear (and front) brake cylinders are held onto
the backplate by two 7/16" threaded stuids which protrude out of the
flat base of the cylinder and through the backplate - therefore 7/16",
1/4" or Metric #11 depending on your spanner persuaion. I seem to
remember that a swivel headed socket key is the best tool for the job.

But of course - yours may be held another way, but I have never seen any
deviations to the above.

Good luck!

1/4" drive socket works fine for me - either that or a
drop-end box wrench. Believe it's 1/2" or 13mm....

I think I usually use a socket, but maybe the 109 is diffo.  Can you get
socket clearance?
Are the 1/2" or 7/16"?  I forget.  If they're 7/16" I might use my
crooked-necked dual-box-ended wrench.
Fortunately it's been a while (like 6 mos) since I've replaced a wheel
cylinder, so my memory's not too crisp.  Boy, does that feel good.

Adrian:  Funny you should mention it, I've been running this test for the
last couple years, with 90 wt in my left hub (it was dry when I got it and
the 90 wt simply dribbled out - so I replaced the seal) and grease in the
right - because I've yet to get to the right side, and the rig came with
that hub filled with grease which I have since been topping up with 90 wt.
I'll let you know how the experiment goes.  I may actually do the right side
seal now that I have my rack off and can get the rover into the garage.

Should I drive with my freewheeling hubs engaged or disengaged? (wink wink,
nudge, say no more).

Regretting re-subbing yet?

From: Jeff Bieler <[email-masked]>

Reply-To: [email-masked]

When I asked around for mine, I asked for a Rochester BV-1 from a 1954 Chevy
6cyl.  You want the model that has the 30.9mm venturi, manual choke, and
sleeved top.  

Here in Los Angeles (about sea level), I use the #50 main jet.  The range to
work with seems to be #48 ~ #52.

Aside from wallowing out the base holes a little to fit the manifold, I just
needed to get a rubber pipe step down adapter to fit the stock intake to the
top of the carb (on the end of which I have a K&N for daily use).
Everything else fit right on with a little fiddling.

I got mine from RecarbCo, but there are other sources.  I like it a lot.
Seems to perform very well though I haven't had a chance to really have a
long term look at it.

They are probably the exact same size as a regular drive flange gasket
if the lock-o-matics are similar to the lock-o-by-hands.

I recommend a solution of 42% 140W 37% Semi Synthetic Grease and 24% DuPont
Colloidal Teflon (The black kind). Unless you are using Warn Lock-O-matics
without gaskets in which case they won't disengage.

As to the legalities of doing this...

I'm on another digest in which someone had scanned into PDF format, the
Workshop manuals for their model of car and was selling it.  (To pay for his
time in scanning each page of the manual.

He had consulted with a lawyer beforehand.  He was told: if you already
owned the original manual, you could purchase this electronic copy as a
"backup" manual.

Thus, before this person allowed you to purchase the manual on CD-ROM, you
had to "sign" a form (check-off a box on a webpage) saying you already owned
the original manuals, and that you are buying this strictly for a backup.

I found the CD form of the manual to be nice with the ability to search,
etc., in that I can just print out the relevant pages, and bring them out to
the garage with me, not getting the originals dirty and grungy and torn,
etc.

Rgds,
Vel
