Sondor is actually the name of the company that manufactures the foam compound.
The compound is called something else. I used XPS-5 I think.

Anyway, Sondor Industries is at 266 Haak Street, Waltloo, Pretoria.

Dare I say it.   My FC that was going last week and made up the % =

Subject: Gearbox

I have finally got round to taking the gearbox out of my Landy and 
whow....,I surely hope its the last time ever.
I remember someone on the list mentioning that he had to take it in 
and out  something like 4 or 5 times in one day. I think I need you!!

Seriously though. It didn't take us too long(Saturday morning) and 
we had agrivating circumstances .(uneven gravel "floor" the worst of 
them)

Now I will start to use all those saved info on spares etc. I can't find 
one site however that someone posted a while ago for a guy in 
Benoni that had very cheap parts (mainly interior and body). Can 
someone please help me with that one.

Having read some of the list stories about unbalanced drivetrains 
after work on the clutch etc. I am not to comfortable taking the 
clutch of , but know I have to. 
Does someone have a scetch of the alignment tool or some clever 
plan maybe.
(Mike N. sent me all the papers needed for the gearbox overhaul - 
thanks a lot Mike )
I struggled so much getting the box down that the installing part is 
already giving me nightmares.I don't want to struggle with a 
alignment problem trying to get the box in again.

Help , help , help

Thanks

Hennie

Speaking to my staff member at Sodwana,  it seems that the KNNCS has already
or will be shortly stopping all driving from Cape Vidal to Sodwana Bay.  The
reason I was given is that it has turned into a highway.  There are also
reports of guys doing speeds of up to 100kmp/h on the beach.  The number of
vehicles towing trailers through this section has also apparently become a
problem.

Hi Sarel,

I removed the floorboards, seatbox, tunnel and front doors.  To put the box
back I used one of those hydraulic engine hoists on castors. I rented one form
a tool rental place here in Pretoria. With one of those devices it's a one man
job  putting the box back. You can align the box up perfectly with such a
hoist.

Good luck, (especially on the prices of gears)

Some GUD news for 300 TDi Discovery owners.

after many enquiries at my local spares dealer which had drawn a 
complete blank for an air cleaner replacement paper element I 
approached GUD direct (via email of course) .

Greg Howes from GUD Filters stated 
that the filter filter was in developement 
'I am the Product Information Co-ordinator and have some 
good news in that the landrover filter ESR1445 is our AG945.'

and later was informed on 10 September 1999 by Stefanie Mühleck
of  G.U.D. Filters (Pty) Ltd that AG 945 filters for the Discovery 300 TDi
are available

my local helpful garage owner obtained me one from Federal -Mogul
and I paid a whole R 55.00 for it

compared with the original the construction is superior the paper
'leaves' being nicely kept apart by 2 small neat deformations - I
am led to believe that the same filter cartridge fits the V8 as well

I have no connection with GUD except as a satisfied customer

more than the figure he gave me verbally. The cost is R110.96 each excluding

Wow! How close is the 'final' to the original? Can you mail me a file

Is there a possible discount for quantity? And how much is 'quantity'?

Subject: Tyre choice question

Yes I know you're all thinking "Oh God not another tyre thread" and Andy's
still going "Aaaarrrggghhhhhh" :-) but I was hoping the list could provide
me with a little advice.

My Rangie is currently fitted with a mixture of 205/16 tyres - 2 X Michelin
XPC, 1 X Michelin XMS (all three Michelin's quite new), 1 X Pirelli Scorpian
(quite worn now) and a real dog of a spare. I have been planning to buy two
new Michelin XPC and then move the XMS to the spare and keep the Pirelli as
another spare (I have six wheels). The two new Michelins will cost me R 2050
all incl. 

I am a little concerned at the puncture resistance/off-road abilities
(mis-guided?) of the Michelins and have been looking at some other options.
I have been offered a set of 5 General Grabber AT's which have less than
2000 km on them (1 new) for R 2500. But I gather the Generals wear rather
quickly.

I use the Rangie both on-road (towing mostly) and off-road (4X4 tracks, Moz,
Sodwana and a two week trip planned to Bots/Caprivi in June/July) but
probably won't do more than 10 000 km per year. However I may still realise
my dream this year to do a 3 month trip up to Malawi/Tanzania.

So what would your choice be :-

1. 5 x General Grabber 205/16's with essentially 4 spares (3 good Michelin 1
OK Pirelli) Cost R 2500

2. 4 x Michelins 205/16's with 2 Spares (1 good Michelin and 1 OK Pirelli)
Cost R 2050

3. Fit a set of 6 X SAG's and flog the rest Cost (To my bank manager -
"Please sir can I have some more...?")

The minimum order amount is R300. So a minimum of three needs to be cut. The
cost seems to be driven by the huge amount of material piercings to be done
as well as the cutting path length.

I have Ruff Stuff covers,; was about R750 for front covers alone (another
6R750 for rear spilt seat covers). Thinner material than LR's, which my wife
got on her car. LR's is supposed to be waterproof and Ruff Stuff's is not.
Lr's feels "hotter" on my back/bottom when sitting than the RUff Stuff ones.
The Ruff Stuff lasted about 6 months before fraying at seams. They are
replacing them under "warranty". There is no question that the LR ones on my
wife's car is better quality. Takla also makes covers (available generally I
think but specifically through ARC) which to me looked similar in quality to
LR's.

Subject: Gear box S IIA

I'm want to replace the gearbox of my Series III S/W with a box of a =
Series IIA.  The Ford V6 engine is apparently too powerfull for the =
Series III gearbox, but the S IIIA box can handle the more powerfull =
engine.

Is there somebody in the Pta/Jhb area that could help me.

Please contact me at groets@mweb.co.za

Thanx

Gideon Roets

Hi All
While we can only commiserate with Gary, all I can say is that our
percentages have also
dropped radically over the weekend !!  It never pays to be over confidant!!
On our way to a Classic car show (100 yrs of Motoring) in Wynberg on Sunday
the Tempo's  master
cylinder decided it had done it's time on this earth and, no go!  No
problem, we all hopped into
the fire engine, only to discover the exact self same problem... They both
herald from
1955, have gone through a  rigorous time on earth, ended up with us and
conked out on
the same day.  Please explain..  BTW we did make it to the show in the Fire
Engine, only to
make a bit of a splash!!!!

The alignment tool looks kinda telescopic, with a larger diam for the clutch
plate and a smaller diam for the part which aligns with the flywheel. Can he
manufactured from a wooden dowl/pole of sufficient diameter, see the crude
drawing

Trolly jack from the bottom works alright, but it is better to hoist it from
the top, to allow free movement, and you can actually see what you are
doing.

Just a tip
Do a test/drive before everything is assembled and finished incase you have
to redo something.

Youll need and engine hoist or strong roof to attach a block and tackle to
to lift it just high enough to free the mountings. There may be one or two
linkages which youl have to loosen.

Is someone going to make a list and do a final tally, so that we do not
leave anyone off the list, ala Rollcall.

I'll have 2 thanks
