Actually, the fuel prices across the pond are substantially HIGHER than
ours, that's why they tend to produce more fuel efficient cars.  Note
that they use a TDI engine while we get the gas guzzler.

Subject: Workshop manuals

I recently got my LRO Bookshop catalog and am ready to order a 
much-needed workshop manual for my '88 Range Rover. But there are two 
manuals advertised: the "official" manual for '86 to '89 models by 
Brooklands Books (35.95 pounds, 400-plus pages) and the Haynes manual 
for '70 to '92 models (10.99 pounds and 420 pages).

Anyone have experience with these books? Is the official manual worth 
three times the money?

Subject: Re: Rust on RR

After reading some posts about rust I decided to put in my two cents.  
I don't know much about RR but I have had some problems with rusting on 
welded seams on my '95 D90 Wagon.  LRNA gave me the standard 'contact 
your dealer.'  The dealer told me there would be a THREE week down time 
for a total rust inspection/repair because it's under warranty.  So 
taking matters into my own hands I bought this stuff called Rust 
Avenger by 3M.  It comes in a easy to apply pen with a scraper cap.  It 
goes on off-white and dries black and the area is now paintable.  
Fortunately, all the areas that I have treated are colored black so I 
haven't bothered painting them.  Has anyone had any experience with 
this product.  So far it has worked great for me.

Rick, I have the same setup as you, and had El Dealer install the snaps to

Subject: D90 hand throttle/Soft top options.

Hi all,
Was on the phone today with Jim Mitchell at Rovers North. He told me about 
a hand throttle that they have come up with.

For example; you can rev your engine up to 2000 RPM and then lock the hand 
throttle. This will hold that RPM level while your out operating the winch 
and guiding the cable. Cost is $85 and he told me installation is easy and 
takes about 45 minutes. Sounds like a good idea for someone like me who off 
roads alone a lot. Pretty neat.

Also told me that there working on a D90 cover that will fit over the 
windshield and roll cage and attach to the regular top side channels. I 
guess the idea being it would be easier on/off than the full top, and would 
keep the rain out without having to reinstall your door tops.

Cheers,
Barnett

To all fuel injection guru's
I am attempting to help a friend who just purchased an 88 RR because he
liked my 87. He is now threatening to shoot out my front winshield once a
year as his 88 is having a most curoius stalling prob. It starts and runs
normally for a while and then the EFI light comes on in the binnacle of
terror and the engine falters and dies. It will restart and run but the
light is on until you disconnect the battery to reset it. It will then
stay off for a day or so and then the whole sequence repeats. All vac.
lines have been replaced as well as the plastic fittings associated etc.
Everything checks out to spec according to my owners manual we even tested
the leads off of the computer according to book proceedures the only
anomoly was the potentiometer which is 300 to 500 ohms out of normal and
has to be adjusted all the way to its excentric stop to achieve this reading.
We are both Aircraft mechanic types and this is most puzzling especially
since the prince of darkness has NEVER visited my 87!!!???!!!
Anyone out there have any Ideas?  help save my windshield!!!!thanks

 There are a number of these type products out there, 3M, Permatex and Duro
 all come to mind. they are all identical and work on a cute little chemical
 principal. They convert the top layer of iron oxide molecules(rust for you
 non chemists) to a thin layer of iron phosphate molecules. The key here is that
 little phrase, thin layer. The phosphate molecules are indeed immune to further
 oxidation, but all the oxide molecules underneath are still merrily eating 
 away at the base metal. This is for thick rust areas. For very light surface 
 oxidation, you must really be thorough in removing it with a scothbrite pad
 before applying the converter. It does work, but only on light areas of rust.
 As for the 3 week wait for the dealer, they have loaner cars don't they? I'd
 sure think about biting the bullet, it'll only get worse the longer you wait.
 Kinda like a bad tooth.

John,

Yea well ya dirty rotten...Why I oughta...Okay, no more stupid
questions...Yea right!

O'yea about the tonneau.  I have the full tonneau, and ripped the area where
the headrest passes into the tonneau.  It was a hot day, the material got
very soft and the tear happened easily.  The seats must be in the right
position (if I remember correctly in the rear position).  The snaps that
attach to the dash also can become a problem (two of three pulled though the
fabric).  I sent the tonneau back to the dealer. They sent it to an awning
repair shop and they reinforced the areas around the snaps with heavy
canvas.  Works great, and no danger of pulling the snaps through the fabric.  

Also for those interested, the full tonneau with only the driver side open,
provides extra insulation/heat on chilly mornings (looks great too!).

While our UK friends might regard the difference between $1.25/gal gas
and $1.50 gas to be small since either number is so small relative
to what they are used to, it matters.

I am currently getting 22 mpg in my '84 Cherokee. If I were to
purchase a Disco, I would be getting worse mileage and an increased
cost per gallon. In this case, I would DOUBLE my gasoline expense. 
Granted that the major factor is the mileage figure but I want to be
as exact as I can be (within reason).

Thanks for all the good info so far. The lists are much higher

The wiper motor in my 87 burned up about 2 years ago.  The motor is
accessed by removing the cowl panel in front of the windshield, which
requires first removing the bonnet.  Its a simple but 2 person job.  Good
details are in the Range Rover workshop manual that I bought from Atlantic
British about 6 years ago (expensive but worth every penny).  One tip:
don't put sheet metal back untill you verify that the wipers work and park
where you want them.

Before doing so, contact  RN, they've got a new badge, "Land-Rover Classic".
The "Land-Rover" portion is the same oval but underneath the lr words is the
word "Classic".  p/n AWR2617.

Subject: Re: Rust on RR

        Rustoleum and a few other manufacturers now make a product that
chemically attacks rust and leaves a black, paintable surface.  I used it to
prime the raw metal on my winch mount.  While installing the winch, I
noticed  a small amount of rust on one of the chassis welds as well.  But I
didn't think to try this stuff on it - good idea!
