Personally, I am glad to see anything at all on this list. This is probably the
one time that no-one is going to complain about wasted bandwidth.
Good luck

It sounds like a problem with the fuel injection, the '89 (U.S. Spec.) Range
Rover has the Lucas 14CU Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection. This does not
read out fault codes (that tell you what component has like the 14CUX that
was installed in '90. The Range Rover factory shop manual will take you step
by step testing all of the FI components with a multi-meter. If you don't
have a shop manual yet and you plan on keeping your RR it will be a good
investment.

Subject: where to buy what polybushings
Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 09:50:19 +0200 (METDST)
Hello gang,
I'll definitely have to go for new bushings for my 1989 110 Brumml
(can't stand the clonking and rear stearing any more).
What I remember from prefious discussions on this subject is that
poly bushings are better than the original rubber ones.
Now I have some questions:
-Why are they better?
-What brand should I buy?
-Where in Europe (or better Germany) do I get them for the best price?
-Should I fit a whole set or is it ok to do just the rear axle, first.
-Is there any FAQ or good tips about getting the old ones out and the new in?
I just remember something about burning the old ones.
Sorry, if this is old stuff, but I had some problems with my mails
and couldn't read much Land Rover mail.
Thanks,
Franz

Up to 1977 Rover used .078" thick top ring.

We can supply the correct rings for A$90.
Our comany is a specialist parts supplier for Land Rover/Range Rover. Our
main business is engine parts due to the fact that we are a Hepolite Piston
& Vandervell engine bearing distributor for Australia.
I hope this is of some help.

From: Richard Ruffer <rruffer@interserv.com>
Subject: D90 Speedo Lights
This is a repost from last week. I think it got swallowed by the major. Sorry if
people have already seen it.
Ever since I bought my D90 the speedometer has been hard to read at night. The right
half of the speedo lights up O.K., but the left half doesn't light up at all. I figured
that the bulb on the left side must have burnt out, so I opened up the dash. What I
found appeared to be (1) an empty plug for a bulb on the left side of the speedo and (2)
a wire with a base and bulb hanging loose (the bulb had some sort of blackish goo on
it). The bulb and base would not fit into the plug on the speedo, which looked broken.
I took it to the dealer who said its not broken, there's only supposed to be one light
for the speedo. Is this just a line from a lazy dealer? Is everybody's speedo
unreadable at night even with the dash lights flipped to the max strength? Appreciate
any insights.

To the last question: No. But I've heard of quite a few diffs, esp. centre
diffs, packing up under extreme off-road abuse.
As for ARB lockers, they would of course strengthen the axle diffs but put
a lot of additional strain on the shafts and the centre diff. Imagine locking
both axles but forgetting to lock the centre diff, and then hitting some
really bad terrain... no telling how long the centre diff would hold. The
V8 has enough power to mangle most anything, including centre diff, tranny
and propshaft joints. Personally, I prefer to take my time and winch my
way out rather than to gamble a diff or the tranny everytime I get bogged
down. Just my opinion.

Mine is not a NAS 90, but I think it has only one bulb in the speedo. It
doesn't have any of the gubbins for dimming the instrument lights either.
The spare bulb may be for auxilliary instrument illumination; although why
it actually has a bulb in is anyone's guess.

Subject: Re: problems
My wife's 89RR was recently cured of a similar problem by replacing the
coolant temp sensor that goes to the ECU (has 4 wires). The shop said after
warmup it was telling the ECU that the engine was -20F which was causing
flooding.
