Subject: RE: D90 Defrost
For windshields fogging up it is because there is moisture in the air that
is being blown against a cold wind screen. A heated windshield might be the
final solution but try one of the following first:
a) ensure snow is clear of the intake vents before you turn on the
heater
b) Trying turning on the AC until you have heated the windshield enough
for it to sustain itself. The AC will not blow cold air in the heater
position and it will be dry.

Though the science behind this idea is sound, the application of it in the Defender is difficult because the AC ducts blow their air away from the windshield, the AC is a compleetly separate mechanism, and you can't direct it up there. I have tried this method, but haven't noticed it to work. Just too much cabin volume for the ac to create dryer air at the boundary layer of the windshield, add to that the moist defrost air blowing directly on it. And or course the warm moist breath of the occupants just add to the problem. It really is a problem in rainy weather, the inside just mists up like the tropics.

Subject: re:Rear jack/fuel carrier GREEN MONSTER
I've been getting a lot of requests to post some pics, and describe
some of the mods I've done.
I am planning on soon getting some pics scanned in and kinda writing
up what I've done ( hey I'm lazy :)
I will try to drum up before and after shots of OME lift and Trac
edges ( don't think I can do that for everything though )
It would be nice if I could get them on Ben's and Dixon's Rover Webb
Page ( Ben, Where are you ? )
In short:
The gas tanks ( I can mount up to two ( one on top of each other ) )
are mounted on the Land Rover roof ladder ( with the aid of a normal
gas can holder attached to the ladder, and several very sturdy rachet
type straps, I put plastic hose on a few rungs of the ladder to help
everything mate nice'n cushion'y. I have gone off-road frequently and
so far its held up real nicely ( I had concerns at first, but I've
had the setup for almost a year now, I ussually leave one tank on
around town and on most quickie trips ).
The high lift had been inside in the back secured in a way that was
thrashing my rear interior ever so slightly ( but continously ).
I finally got to thinking ( whats burning :) I got two of the
standard high lift jack mounts and if you look at the rear bumper from
the side in a cross sectional kinda way, it is shape like a "U" on
its side ( with the open part facing into the disco rear end (
actually its not a real "U" but close enough for discusion ) mount
the two high lift hangers by drilling the appropriate holes on the
bottom of the bumper ( on "_" <- that part of the side ways "U" ) )
You gotta study it a bit, but when you do you'll see it right away,
this "_" bottom part of the "U" is actually at a slight angle, this
is good, because it still allows you to use the trailer hitch! be
careful to not do anything stupid like put it in the way of the
opening door :) ( also the only place you can put em is about six
inches away ( equidistant ) from the receiver hitch gizmo, else you
have no clearence clarence to get your fingys in and turn the bolts!
) The position has another added benifit ( which I am
patenting :) it works great as an anti tailgating device :) I'd
sooner let em bend the $35 dollar high lift jack mounts, or a $55 High
lift jack then have to pry em off my trailer hitch receptacle :) or
whack into my "flimsy-not" 14 gauge steel frame " :)
Here is some real bad ascii art which by definition of murhpys law
will get screwed up and make it look like you mount it on the radio
antenna or a lug nut of the tire or something :)

Oh geeeez, I figured maybe someone would take this literally! :)
Admittedly the current issue is WAY late, caused in part by the
changeover to a new administration. But bear with us, we hope to catch
up with another issue soon and then establish strict publication dates.
No one will be shortchanged in their membership subscriptions, which if
need be will be extended.
On a constructive, participatory note... The Aluminum Workhorse needs
support in submission of member articles and photographs, especially
from all the usually quiet people in the East Coast --Canada, and north,
mid and south USA. Most any topic of interest to LROA members is
welcome. If you have an idea which will be an epic saga or treatise,
please notify the Editor ahead of time. For now send your stuff to
John Hess (the Pres.!), 1615 Colusa Ave., Davis, CA 95616 USA.
PS-- We want to hear from RR, Disco, and Defender owners too ;)

When I asked him why he swapped engines he told me better off and on road performance. A win situation he felt. Driving left me with the following impressions; Off road the truck had lots of low end torque. The 4.5L also had a very wide, flat power band. On road there was plenty of response when you touched the gas. The sound of the engine was lower more like a big American V8, and was very smooth at idle, a nice purring sound. I noticed the difference most at the end of the day when I switched to my 95 D90 for the ride back to the hotel. Honestly for me anyhow the original engine does everything I need. I think I would consider the 4.5L Dakar only if I had some sort of major engine trouble and was swapping anyhow. Seeing as you already have one though... I hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free! Barnett ------------------------------[ <- Message 21 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960311 -> | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 96 8:00:35 -0500 From: "barnett childress" <barnett=childress%Eng%EMCHOP1@fishbowl02.lss.emc.com> Subject: re:Headlight switch on D90 Lee, Are you sure the switch is broken, and not just loose in the column? Very easy to check if you haven't already done so. Remove the top and bottom plastic covers around the steering column. The switch, if I remember correctly is held in place by only one screw? or maybe just sits between the plastic tabs? Make sure the switch is seated properly. Check the wires and make sure one hasn't come loose with the switch flopping around. I have the same switch installed on the opposite side of the column for the air lockers. I remember the switch being a pretty sturdy piece? Good luck Barnett ------------------------------[ <- Message 22 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960311 -> | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: "Ruffer, Richard" <rufferr@moodys.com> Subject: D90 Defrost Date: Mon, 11 Mar 96 10:01:00 EST Barnett - I saw the heated windshield in a Rovers North catalog, which a number of folks have already mentioned. I also have a line on heated side mirrors for a D90 or 110. I saw them in an ad in the back of Land Rover Owner International. "A self adhesive element attached to the back of the mirror that warms the glass. Kit includes elements, wire, switch, instructions." 24.50 British Pounds Plowman Trading Co. phone (in U.K.): 01904-768230 Regards, Rich Ruffer Morristown, NJ 94 D90 in Blue (how many blue ones are there? I've never seen another on the road) ------------------------------[ <- Message 23 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960311 -> | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
