Subject: Re: D90 Defrost
Early last year there were a number of messages posted about RR
windscreens fogging up. The early NAS RRs had a heating ventilation
system that sounds somewhat similar to the D90 - i.e the A/C is not
integrated with heating system. There is a solenoid on the RR that
controls whether or not the heating system is working is recirc vs
fresh input, if this solenoid does not function properly then people
were having "fogging" problems as the system was stuck in recirc mode.
The A/C in these RRs only worked in Recirc mode.
I dug through my records and resurected the following message I posted
on the subject. Someone had asked what would happen if they tied the
flap open so the system always worked in fresh air mode - thus
avoiding their fogging problem.
The A/C on the early US spec RR's was kind of an add-on and wasn't
integrated with the heater system as you would normally expect.
I think what will happen, as a result of tying open the fresh air flap
(this is to get round the malfunctioning solenoid problem), is as
follows:
Outside air will be coming into the vehicle through the
heater/demister vents at all times. When the heater control is in any
position other than A/C the fan control works the heater fan and
forces the outside air (heated or not depending on temp setting
control) through the heater/demister vents. If the fan is switched off
you still get air flow (ram effect) but it is not very good. When you
put the control to A/C you will still have this ram effect air flow
through the heater/demister since you have tied up the flap which is
normally closed when you activate the A/C.
So what is the A/C doing? The fan switch is now operating the 2 A/C
fans under the dash. The A/C is still drawing air from inside the car
through the fans to the evaporator (where it is dehumidified and
cooled) and out through the vents. So the net effect will probably be
that the A/C is being fed a mixture of external air and internal air.
I think this is analagous to a standard a/c system set to normal
operation. The result will be that the A/C is less efficient. Car
systems normally instruct you to put the A/C on in MAX or RECIRC mode
until the car is cooled down then revert to normal mode, you miss out
on the MAX mode because you've disconnected the recirc flap.
I think the owners manual for the RR used to say that after the
vehicle cools down to move the temp selector slightly towards warm.
This was supposed to have the effect of having some of the air in the
car drawn through the heater box and warmed slightly, remember it
would still be dehumidified, thus when it was drawn into the A/C
system it would help keep the evaporator from freezing. This never
seems to have worked for me as on long journeys the evaporator always
freezes up and water droplets get blown through the vents. I have to
switch off the A/C to let it defrost!
Hope this helps.

Pretty simple to do, just remove 7 or so bolts from up under the front bumper, a few screws attaching the dam to the bumper end caps, and off she came. This left the bumper end caps hanging a bit low, so a quick pass with a hacksaw and file removed the bits and smoothed it out. This material was amazingly easy to cut, by the way. Total time for the mods - about 20 minutes. I think it looks pretty good, and it is a big improvement in approach angle. I have ramps, so driving the front up on them made access pretty easy, despite the cold weather. (Thanks to Mark Ritter for the modification!) A couple of questions. One of my bumper end caps is loose. These are held on by two screws, one in front and one buried under an L-shaped bracket on the side. Has anyone got any ideas on how to get to the one that's buried? Has anyone bought or seen the steering protectors offered in the UK for discos (for example by Performance). They are 5mm aluminum waffle plate. I'm planning on ordering, but I'd sure like to hear from someone that has them, to speak to fit and ease of installation.

Subject: Disco Oil Changes
I don't think it is reasonable to go 7500 miles on the same oil, plus I
like to putter on the truck, so I changed the oil and filter in my '95
disco this weekend. In the manual, if I read it right, the correct
procedure is:
1. Drain old oil
2. Replace plug and refill
3. Remove old oil filter
4. replace with partially filled new filter
5. Start engine.
I followed this procedure and I wasn't happy with the results. First, when
changing the filter, the drizzle of oil never quite stopped, and I wasn't
convinced new oil wasn't siphoning out. And the OIL light seemed to stay
on longer with this procedure that the more standard one of drain oil,
remove filter, button up and top off. Finally, it only took 6 qts to
refill, whereas I remember more like 7 using my standard method. (I know,
I know, its my own fault for reading the manual.)
So why does the manual suggest the more complicated method? Is it worth
following? Does anyone believe that the dealers follow this method?

I did this about 6 months ago after putting an ARB on. I actaully
remounted the air damn and left it in place until it became a plow in
a mud pit I was going through ( it doesn't work well as a plow! )
Needless to say its off ( I think I found most of the air damn pieces in the
mud ! ( its a 95 so its less substantial than the 96's with the light
in them ) )
I have bee recently researching the armor options.
Brittish pacific is expecting a shipment of front steering and diff
protectors in within a month as is rovers north. I called and faxed
southdown 4x4 products in england last week to inquire about theres
but they didn't answer the phone or respond to my fax? I am going to
call safari gaurd today.

Geez, these on-road vehicles which have never seen dirt tests are getting rather silly at best. I read lots of African Travel books and the only two vehicle they mention are Land Rovers (all types, old and new) and Toyota Land *Cruisers*. These tests are just plain silly. If you want to see real comparisons I suggest you read the Australian magazine: Overlander. That magazine does real testing of 4 wheel drives that makes logical sense.

I thought it interesting that neither Four Wheeler nor Petersen's 4WD
included the Discovery in thier tests, rather they chose the RR 4.0SE.
Was this just so the JGC wouldn't have any REAL competition and have a
chance at winning?!?!? (hmmm, do I smell a conspiricy? :-) It must be
difficult trying to please all those American SUV advertisers. Just
remember that the 2 favorite "long-term test" vehicles for Four Wheeler
are the D-90 and the Disco!
Wouldn't it be interesting to take some of the C&D "best autos" to
Hollister SRVA for a review? Imagine a Dodge Caravan trying to follow a
Disco on an off-road course! Catch me if you can! Seems as fitting as
using best auto criteria for an off-road vehicle. :-)

How much do you like pulling the oil-pump to bits to re-prime it ? The Rover V8 has the unfortunate capability of draining the oil-pump completely on changes, the gear pump wont pick up the fresh oil once it is completely drained, at least not with normal cranking. It is *Very* important to swap the oil filter with a pre-filled one quite quickly, or you risk draining the pump, the idea of filling the sump before changing the filter is to reduce the amount of oil which drains back down the pickup. While I dont pre-fill the sump i do pre-fill the filter and fit it as soon as the outflow slows, I dont let the pump fully drain. (well I did once :-( If the pump does fully drain the factory method of repriming is to open it up and pack it with white petroleum grease.....

There has been a lot of talk of BMW NA rebadging a Disco or other Land Rovers to sell in the U.S. (like Honda is doing in Japan). The March BMW club magazine came in the mail today and had an interview with Bernard Pischetsrieder the chairman of BMW AG in Germany. When he was asked if BMW would produce a sport utility vehicle he responded "Land Rover produces a full range of sport utility vehicles, the Land Rover Defender, the Land Rover Discovery and Range Rovers. No need to wait for others to finally develop or rebadge an existing vehicle. Within our own family of brands are the authentic sport utilities and they are available today." The rumor is BMW may change its mind if the new Mercedes AAV (due in '97) is a hot seller and/or if the percentage of SUV's sold in the U.S. continues to rise. Last year 42% of all passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. (49% of the big 3 sales) were SUV's, minivan's, and light trucks. The good news for us is that there are rumors that BMW/Land Rover is planning to increase the number of Land Rover dealerships nationwide.

I fitted a twin-fan Kenlowe kit to my 90 TD a couple of weeks ago after the viscous fan coupling finally self-destructed. The engine certainly warms up more quickly than before, and the heater gets hotter. Engine noise is also reduced, and it seems to rev more freely, although I can't say I've detected an increase in performance. Fuel consumption is improved though; I can normally go 300 miles between fill-ups, whereas before I fitted the fans the interval was about 260.

Bob, I change my oil and filter every 5000 miles. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic and I feel the extra 2000 miles is not a problem. I agree 7500 miles seems a bit long between oil changes. Anyhow; 1) -Remove oil filler cap and oil pan plug, drain oil and look out for the flood! Replace plug with new copper washer that comes with new filter. 2) -Remove filter let drain, fill new filter about 1/2 full with new oil and lube rubber gasket. Refit filter. 3) -Refill engine with new oil, (Approx. 6 quarts). 4) -Start and run engine for a few minutes. 5) -Shut off engine and wait for oil to drain back into sump. Check level and top off. Total refill with new filter is about (6.75 to 7 quarts). Thats the way I change my oil. The dealer tells me they do the same.
