If you've got the safari rear door (1-piece, hinged at the side), rather than the 2-piece tailgate, then it's a straight swap for the defender heated glass - I did this on my SIII.

It is intended to be a forum for owners of LR's which are intended for use for long periods away from home base. We started out with a group of ambulance owners, and I am particulary interested in hearing from others, since I am working on my own '71 Marshall bodied Ambulance, but I thought it would be interesting to hear the experiences of those who have, or are in the process of getting 109's 110's 130's and 101's or custom Land-Rover vehicles into condition for that round-the-world trip, or even just a couple of weeks out camping in the bush. Subjects will probably include, but not be limited to: Modifications to the vehicles interior setups Alternative power and fuel food preparation facilities Arranging itineraries for multi-vehicle trips Spares for hard to find military parts Advice from those who have been there Filing On-the-Road trip reports Post trip reports etc. I don't expect much traffic as we have only 9 members right now, mostly ambulance drivers.

From: "Chris Jones" <chris@stumpie.demon.co.uk> Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 10:03:55 -0000 Subject: Rear Propshafts I've recently been more and more troubled by a vibration from the transmission in my (NATO green and black, for those that keep a note of these things...) SIII. Whilst investigating, I've discovered some play in the sliding joint on the rear propshaft. I can wiggle it just over 1mm (with an audible clonk-clonk) from side to side where it passes through the chassis crossmember. The UJ's don't seem to have any play in them. Is this a Bad Thing? Is it going to fail catastrophically any time soon? I assume that to fix it I'm going to have to replace the entire propshaft, but I don't know quite what the spec is to order one. It's a LWB vehicle with a Salisbury rear axle, which IIRC makes the propshaft shorter than normal. My tape measure said 1040mm (ish) from the flange on the diff to the flange in the handbrake drum, with the wheels on the ground. Anyone know what the right spec is?

I use mine in the Land Rover, on a mountain bike and sometimes walking, and it's survived being dunked in numerous rivers and being jettisoned from the handlebars at 30mph. The car mounting kit they do works well and fits neatly on the dashboard of my SIII (those plasticky bits do have a use!). I don't use an external aerial at the moment - the standard one works OK through the windscreen except through really dense trees. The screen and controls are excellent. As for purchasing, if you know anyone who's going to the US, get them to buy one: last time I checked, they were 360 dollars there and 360 pounds here. Ouch. The only drawback is that you can't get the one with European maps in the US, but I figured that the maps weren't much use to me. The US one does have the country outlines and major towns in Europe in anyway.

Rigid chassis probably bad but flat front I reckon good for the pedestrians (otherwise, busses are the most dangerous vehicle about!). In reality, many collisions are at slight angles due to vehicles swerving before impact. In these cases the crumple zones of most cars are not 'hit in the right direction' and are far less effective. The LR ladder-frame chassis will deform on this case absorbing the impact and probably destorting the owner's wallet severely. For what it's worth, most collisions between vehicles that I hear about are *relatively* low speed - how often does a Land Rover come off worst?

The trick as a pedestrian is to avoid absorbing the energy at all because
the difference in masses between the pedestrian and almost any vehicle
means that the acceleration following a direct impact will be lethal
at quite low speeds. The only fatal accident I have seen
happened at quite low speeds and involved an LT35 and a pedestrian. I
suspect busses *are* much more dangerous than cars - but probably about
on a par with most large vehicles since the majority are equally slab-
fronted.
In a car/pedestrian accident the pedestrian may get away with it by
being thrown over the roof of the car and thus avoiding the lethal
acceleration. I have heard that you can improve your prospects
as a pedestrian by doing a sort-of dive roll to enhanse the effect.
(Look at the stunt men in a film for tips...) Speed is also an
important factor, at 20mph most pedestrians will survive being hit
by a car. At 40mph most will die.
The bottom line is that LandRovers are dangerous vehicles, fitting
kiddie killers - sorry bull bars - is unlikely to help. Driving
slower makes a real difference. At 40mph you have 4 times the
kinetic energy of the same vehicle at 20mph.

It will have to be replaced, if you have and still want the choke warning light the replacement will have to be for a Land Rover, two cables available one for use with steering lock and one without, otherwise one from local accessory shop will do, many choke cables are moved about, standard position for yours should be through steering column shroud, undo screws thru shroud and unbolt cable, replacement is reverse of removal, new cable may need cutting to length, cut inner and outer separately. >Also, the thin metal pipe (is this the advance/retard pipe) that goes around >the back of the 4 cyl engine to the distributor was on the other side of the >Zenith, so I had to reroute it OVER the head...any problems lurking here...I >did clamp it down on the carb side. Yes this is the advance/retard pipe, as far as I am aware the SIII's had plastic pipes with rubber ends, the metal pipes were SII & SIIA, I think, should be no problems with routing. >Oh yes, does anyone have a clue what to ask for to replace the small rubber >seal on the metal pipe I moved?

The Wife (capitalisation denotes respect) has no problem in the LWt. Even rep(tiles) don't try to cut her up. Must be the sharp edges.

I've got the driver dog (which bolts onto the end of the crankshaft in place of the starting dog), the propshaft and all the other ancilleries - it's just the plate I need. The plate has six holes in a ring, and they engage the three pins in the driver plate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 27 -> | | <- Digest 990217 -> | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
