Subject: Who stole my thermostat?
Ok! So I know it wasn't any of you, but last night when I went to
take my thermostat off to test it's operating temperature I found
upon opening the housing that it was missing alltogether. I assume
this means that I'm always running cold as the cooling system will
continually cool my engine regardless of how cold it gets.James O'shea

The annual trip to the Old Sodbury bring & buy sale is a must for
those with older series vehicles.

Subject: steering relay
Does the steering relay (later type with drain and fill holes) only
fill and drain oil on the bolts on the drivers side (in line with the
cast lump), or will any of the three bolts do?
The steering feels ok at the moment, but I want to make sure.
Steve

Subject: Road Tax for vehicles 25 ye
Road Tax for vehicles 25 years or older
Folks
I currently own a 1963 Series 2A SWB 2 1/4 Petrol Land Rover in bronze
green
with full tilt. Regarding the free road tax for vehicles >25 years, I
phoned the DVLA, which connected me to dozens of recorded announcements
finally telling me to wait until a cheque arrives with the refund.
That was about 6 weeks ago and nothing has happened.
Has anyone received a refund yet?????

P.S. I am thinking about buying some 750 x 16 Super Mud Pluggas, and have
heard they are pretty poor on tarmac, is this true? are they very noisey?

i would like to know the answer. i sweated blood to get a bolt
out of one of the inline-with-the-cast-lump holes (because the
steering arm is in the way. ok, i got it out, and can't get it
back in without taking the steering arm off. that was 4 months
ago. the good news is i can add oil now almost as fast as it
drains out of the bottom. question#2. can a new seal be put
onto the bottom without taking the whole thing apart?

Yes, it took about 5 weeks! Haven't got the new V5 yet though.

On another interesting related note, I had a thermostat in my car (fitted new 8
months ago), but in this cold weather, had noticed that although the engine and
car warmed up (temp guage in the middle of scale), when I got onto the motorway
and sustained 70 to 80 mph, the guage slowly begun to drop, and the heater went
colder.
I guessed the the hysteresis of the thermostat wasn't up to scratch, and so
replaced the thermostat with a genuine parts job. Now it stays in the middle of
the guage and my heater is hot (Well, as hot as a LR gets!). :-).

Subject: Re: Unlocking the central diff-lock
As taught to me by the Land Rover Experience tutor:
When trying to dis-engage the central diff, you move the lever to "unlock", and
the diff lock light still stays on. This is because the diff lock components are
still strained (usually due to some wind up present). Some people favour
stopping, and reversing a few yards, and this normally eases the components
enough to allow the pin to spring back.
There is an alternative method (very useful say when going from snow-packed
motorway (freeway) to dry tarmac on the move.
1. De-select diff-lock.
2. Reduce speed enough to engage a lower gear (2nd is quite good).
3. Lift off the throttle completely, and then floor it. 2 secs on, 3 secs off.
4. Repeat step 3 until diff lock light extinguishes.
Somewhere in that free-travel, the diff-lock pin will find equilibrium, and
pop-out. It normally works after 3 attempts.
Gerald.
