Perhaps there is a tree down blocking the information green lane?

Subject: Re: Gone Quiet (Land Rover Digest)
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 96 12:33:24 BST
Following from reports that its gone all quiet, here's some queries to
keep you all quiet (SIII LWB FFR 1972/3):
1.) Uneven running. I understand this is a textbook symptom of a bad
carburettor/one that needs servicing/cleaning.
It is more noticeable when fuel is low - could it also be the pump that
is giving problems?
I also have reason to suspect the choke mechanism, but after looking at
diagrams of the choke mechanism, this seems unlikely (I know the choke
warning circuit doesn't work, and it isn't the bulb).
Carburettors: Zenith is the standard, but Webber is a common replacement,
going by the adverts (also costs more). I have a Webber - is this a standard
MoD replacement? Are Weber meant to be better, and if so, in what way?
(I know sod all about the things)
2.) I was hoping to do all sorts of things to the vehicle between buying it
and a trip to Scotland at the end of June. Most of these (eg. new seats)
look unlikely, although I have prioritised some:
(no particular order)
1.) Kenlowe fan (on order)
2.) Add a 12V supply + radio/casette (Noise? What noise? OH! JUST PLAY IT
A *BIT* LOUDER!)
3.) Soundproofing. There seem to be a whole range of soundproofing kits
on sale in the UK. Does anyone have any experiences they wish to share?
I was thinking of getting one of the vinyl ones (about L100) - water &
oil proofing sounds like a good idea, me thinks.
4.) Free-wheel hubs (possibly)
5.) Fuel (tanks). I have the twin- 10gallon mil jobs, but my left-hand
tank leaks, so I'm limited to 1 10 gallon tank on a lwb beastie!!
Eventually, I'd like two tanks with civvie fillers (to save me taking the
seats apart at the service stations). In the short term, I have two
options: a.) Replace the leaking tank with a mil. tank (direct replacement).
Easy to do - piping,etc. is already in place.
b.) Add a LWB tank, and pipe this to the change-over switch/valve.
The leaky tank can then be removed at my leisure (replace with
somekind of storage box??)
More of a faff in the short term.
(then civvie filler hoses can be added at a later date)
I'd prefer to do (b.) I think, although it means fitting new pipes, wiring,
and cutting a hole for the new filler. It does have the advantage of more
fuel capacity, and having the fillers on the same side of the vehicle
(have you tried filling up, with fillers on opposite sides??? :-) )
Any suggestions/comments anyone? I have a minimum of tools (decent
spanner set and growing hammer collection, but more specialist tools are
currently a bit lacking [but growing in number]. A flat working area is a
bit lacking, but I can use the road (I live on a cul-de-sac) for short
periods (and only block one house off!).
How easy is it to cut holes to add new filler hoses to mil. tanks?
How easy is it to cut holes for the civvie hoses? Although eager,
I do lack metalwork skills (and tools), but would like it to look neat
and professional.

Subject: Wading plugs
I learned something interesting yesterday; the gearbox filler/level plug
from a SIII is the same as the bellhousing wading plug for 4cyl vehicles,
even for my 90.
