Ouch....!
A parts catalogue is quite usuful esp when ordering bits by post, I bought
one instead of a manual this time as it was quite a lot of hassle with the
11A where I bought a workshop manual. When I wanted parts I didn't even know
what landrover call some of the widgets and had to do some guessing...!

I always find the parts manuals are very often more useful than workshop
manuals...the greatr exploded piccies help me out greatly....I could never
understand the written instructions.

Subject: Alternator fitment
I am changing to an alternator on my friends 11a but I am unsure of the
charge light wiring. I think you go from the alternator to the light then
to the power on the ignition switch. Is this correct.
Thanks Mick "54" 86"

Subject: additional heater in the cold s3
I have seen a cheap portable heater in lroi that works off a 12v cig
lighter plug. Has anyone used such a thing?
Would it work effectively from the 12 volt plugs in the dash of my s3
if I put the correct plugs on?

It would work just as effectively as from a cigarrette lighter. Watch out
when you try to get the plugs - the ordinary plugs you can get at service
stations and electrical supply stores are too thick to fit, despite looking
OK. I know you can get the correct ones at least from the Series III club.
But as for the efficiency, don't expect miracles from a 12 V heater. Even if
it would take 20 amps (and I doubt the electrical system is up for more),
it would only give you 240 W, not very much considering how much air there
is to warm up, and how badly isolated a LR is. And at that power, your
battery would be empty in 2 hours.

I guess thats why I've never seen any LR publications done in joined-up

There are quite a few LWT hybrids around whose owners have just used flat
alloy to 'craft' wheel arch extensions. My guess is that even though such
things are not exactly pedestrian-friendly they pass the MOTs.

Not quite, but when the 'authorised' scrapyards cut up Humber pigs they
always start at the top with a small inspection hole so that can make sure
no-one's lost a grenade or two behind the bulkhead.

Do broom sticks jammed on top of the fuel tank count - especially when

Well, whilst trying to get into the duct just after buying my ex-army
SIII, I found a very large assortment of washers, nuts and bolts (not
too surprising since the vent flap mechanism inside has completely
fallen apart). But the best thing to drop out was a bunch of keys - not
LR keys, big chunky mortice lock keys! They're still on a shelf in my
garage - I wonder if the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers are
missing them?
By the way, I never did manage to get the duct apart enough to actually
fix the flaps. I've resorted to shoving (clean) socks into the footwell
vents when I want to demist the windscreen. Most of my regular
passengers now know how to operate this custom climate control system.
But how do I actually get the duct apart? We are talking about the large
black-faced affair under the dashboard, aren't we? The Haynes manual is
no help at all. Assembly, I assume, would be the reverse of dismantling.

Subject: Engine / gearbox weights
I am shortly to do a chassis change on my SWB SIIA diesel.
Can anyone tell me the approx weights (other than bl**dy heavy !) of the
complete engine and gearbox as separate units. I need to know what
capacity hoist / crane to hire.
Thanks.

Subject: Splitting the heater duct
Under the plastic tray which lines the topside of the heater duct (the
instrument tray) there is a lot of crud and lolly stick, broken biros
and half eaten childrens biscuits. Scrath at this long enough, and
somewhere under all that you will find some small screws which holt the
tray on. The working garbage underneath this, which isn't working, can
be accessed from there...
