[ROVERNET - UK] RoveAmerica 08

Thu Mar 27 02:06:25 GMT 2008

Hello All,

For all those I have active email addresses for you should receive an email
with links to a new website http://www.RoverAmerica.com and links to a sign
up page for the RoveAmerica 08 event
May 30th through June 1st. If you do not receive an email regarding the
event please contact me directly or you can go directly to the site and sign
up.
While the site is not completely finished (and neither are my Rover
projects) it is sort of cool and it will be changed substantially over the
next few days and weeks.
Turn your speakers on for the full effect.

Please feel free to pass on the invitation to any and all who appreciate
Rover

This is going to be a great event and I hope that all who can make it do
come (besides there's free food too).

Warm Rover Regards to all,
Dirk

Glen,

The link on your page goes to John's P2 web site instead of Scott's:

Peter,

I added the RCCA photo gallery to the RoverNA.com "Rover Galleries" page 
at  http://www.roverna.com/rovergallery.htm as well as a "microlink" to 
the RCCA home page.  Of course, there is also a link to the RCCA at the 
RoverNA.com "Clubs" page.

Hi All,

I recently replaced my 3500s transmission (automatic), and this  
weekend, spent some time adjusting the kick-down cable to work  
properly. After reviewing the shop manual, It appears the cable is not  
original spec, (or the crimped stop on the cable is missing) so the  
procedure for measuring the adjustment does not hold up. I've got it  
adjusted so it works well now, shifting down when the accelerator is  
put to the floor, and at the correct speeds.

It seems as though the light throttle shifting occurs at higher speeds  
than it should--20+ mph for first to second, and 30+ for second to  
third. The full throttle shifting is in the correct range, 30+ for  
first to second, 50+ for second to third. And the maximum throttle  
shift changes seem to be at ok speeds.

But on maximum throttle from start, I get what I think might be a  
clutch "squeal" at gear shift intervals. This only happens if I keep  
the pedal to the floor through all gears. The book describes this  
squeal, but says nothing about what to do about it. (The first thing I  
need to do is check my belt tension to be sure that's not the squeal  
I'm hearing...)

It also seems to shift a bit "harder", not as smoothly as when the  
cable was improperly adjusted. When the cable was loose, I had no kick  
down at all, but the gear changes from start were smoother.

The book says NOT TO adjust the kick-down cable to change fluid  
pressure/gear change speed, but how else would this be adjusted?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Peter

Here are a couple of really nice UK Cyclops photos.

What year is this one? Anyone know who owns it?

I don't know about "laconic".  
Perhaps one of these :-)

I am working on a website revision.

I would appreciate feedback if the new site is less
user-friendly than the original, the same, or an
improvement.

Any feedback is useful and appreciated.

Test site here:

I have been told the bend was due to Ron Hodgson Motors fitting the air cond

as an "approved" supplier, not the factory.
It was thought the factory air cond would not cope.

No, I wasn't having a go at you Glen, more that the other RCCA seems
to have "borrowed" some of the adverts I had put on our pages. I guess
tho with the internet, once it is out there anyone can use it. Only, a
little approbation would have been nice of them.

BTW, one of our members has just scanned some old English magazines
and has sent me a new bunch of advertising copy, which I will ad to
our page late in the week.

Cheers,

Peter H
