Subject: Poo-poohing EFi breathing
In the past, I've always listened to and poo-poohed the theory that the air
passages in the plenum chamber of an EFi system would get blocked frequently,
and need frequent cleaning out.
:From time to time, I've sort of blown down the flame-trap breather tube in the
direction of the plenum chamber, and satisfied myself that it wasn't totally
blocked. Although it wasn't totally blocked, what I had was an asthamatic Range
Rover!
This w/end, due to trying to cure an oil leak that would occur at 85mph+, I
removed the plenum chamber completely from the engine. Drilled out the core
plug, and removed the ally breather tube. Wow! I can only describe it as the
clear air passsage was 1/5th of the available area. The rest of the passage was
gunged up. Cleaned it out using a drill bit, it's quite a complex path, it does
a dog-leg around the plenum chamber, so it's prone to gunging up. You have to
remove the core plug & ally tube to be able to clean this path out properly.
Re assemble, take it for a test run down the motorway, and I have trouble
stopping the car running away from me. I'm now having to back off the throttle
to stop it going over 95 mph+!!, as opposed to before, where I had my foot flat
to the floor trying to achieve this.
Hopefully, it will have stopped my oil leak, as it was previously pressurising
the crankcase excessively!.
If you want the part number for the replacement core-plug, email me!
Gerald.

Subject: green lanes
I read the magazines but there doesn't seem to be a lot of planned green-laning.
Is it all organised by clubs?
Also, are we allowed to advertise for private sale here?

Steve, you should be able to get an automobile valuer and or
independant engineer from the "good old yellow pages" under VALUERS, or
ASSESSORS or you might try the AA. Or change insurance companies.

Most of the clubs do have rights of way officers who can provide members with
details of green lanes but "organised" green laning trips are frowned upon
by most - after all you should never really go green laning with more than
four vehicles anyway. From the clubs point of view officially organised green
lane trips have other implications - you should be aware that if you as an
individual are proved to have damaged a lane you could be made responsible
for the cost of repairing that damage. If a club has organised that laning
trip then the club could also be held liable. There are also insurance problems
involved as the event could not be held under an RACMSA permit.
However, the clubs do provide a method of getting in touch with other like
minded individuals and so green lane trips are often "organised" within the
clubs on an informal basis. Most of the green lane trips I go on are arranged
between members at local club nights, routes chosen, planned and then checked
with the rights of way officers to check the routes current status.
Bear in mind that this is MY understanding of the situation and these views
may not be the views of the Y.R.O.C. (as if any club could have only one view!)

Subject: Web Space
I am trying to find some web space for the Yorkshire Rover Owners Club -
depending on the space donated I would like to publish parts of our monthly
newsletter and details/pictures of events.
Unfortunately we cannot justify spending any of the memberships money on this
project (yeah I know, typical Yorkshiremen) so I am looking for any kind hearted
individual or company that may be able to help out. As part of this arrangement
I may be able to place a free advertisement in the printed version of our
newsletter. (Average circulation 400 per month)
All material would be provided ready to go and could be maintained by club
members, so this shouldn't mean any extra work for the individuals concerned.
