Hi gang, Tom asked me to forward this, it seems he is having "major"
problems if you know what I mean. All replies to Tom please.
Cheers

I will, especially after seeing the recent interest in hand winches
and their ilk.
I've been saving the recent postings and I have a fair amount of
experience with them having done heavy construction and logging.
But I'm always open to more info.
For those interested in buying one, I'd look at construction supply
houses. The ones you see in discount houses and hardware stores are
usually not worth the effort of getting them, not to mention the
money.

Subject: Turn indicator SIIA
Hi oz-lros,
Some time ago I wrote about the strange behaviour of the turn indicator
lamp on my SIIA. I've now had a chance to have a closer look, and seek
advice from those who know more about LRs than I do.
The problem is this: the indicator is *ON* all the time except when the
indicator switch is operated, when it flashes *OFF* and *ON*. Not only is
this annoying (the PO solved this as so many other problems by covering it
with ducttape), but the indicator lamp burns out (I only discovered it when
I replaced the lamp!).
When I dismantled the switch, I found that it differed from the diagram in
my (Haynes) manual in that it had 3 terminals where the diagram shows 5,
with the indicator lamp connected to two of these. The PO had connected
the indicator to the input (feed) from the flasher unit, hence the
behaviour observed. There was also a disconnected wire (from memory black
with a red or brown trace).
I should have been alerted by the copious quantities of ducttape wrapped
around the wiring harness between the switch unit and the dash panel. Yes,
it is clear that the PO has replaced the switch with one from a different
model, and stuffed up the indicator wiring in the process.
Any suggestions? The only one that comes to mind is to connect the
indicator to the L & R flasher circuits with a pair of diodes.

Subject: R380 box
Hi all.
Has anyone on this list done the modification to the R380 gearbox/LT230 transfer
box that is recommended by Land Rover to improve lubrication of the mainshaft
splines. It was announced in last October's LRO International and is normally a
warranty job. My nearest dealer is 120 miles away, on another island.
It should be simple job of removing the PTO plate from the rear of the transfer
box. If anyone has done the job themselves I would like to know if you had any
difficulty removing the bolts. One has come out a few mm, with great difficulty
but now won't budge. Another hasn't moved and I just broke my only 1/2 inch hex
socket so I can't do any more for a week until new sockets arrive. What really
worried me was the possibility of breaking of the bolt.
If this sounds familiar I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
