What did you do to your Rover today?

[I Leak Oil]

Night and day difference with the discs eh Jim? If you can spare the $$$ I think it's near the top of the list of things you can do to a series to make it right without changing it's basic character.

Wrapped up the ROAM install. My 15" wheels rubbed on the calipers so minor adjustments had to be made. I am very, very pleased with the results. Now it's time to start saving for rear discs. Replaced both driveshafts, and added a new Series rear step. Drove home from Eliot, ME to Brewer, ME in single digit temperatures and damn near froze. Life is good and love my Rover.

Drove to work!

Thanks Les. I'll file that away.

Talked to my brother on the phone as he lay in the snow trying to replace the clutch slave cylinder. Heckled him on why he keeps breaking my toys until he got frustrated and threatened to hang up on me.

Asked him if he wanted the Expedition to drive instead as we finally got that back from the body shop. (He stuffed it into a parked car doing a slide for life down a snow covered hill) He refused and said he prefers my Rover.

I'm starting to enjoy the "own a Rover but make your brother do all the work on it" scheme.

RN offers the "Companion Kit" for either 2 wheel PLK6116 Kit, with new hub bearings and PLK6118 Kit using your existing hub bearings.
The 4 wheel kit #'s are PLK6117 with new bearings and PLK6119 utilizing your original bearings.
The web site lists all the current components of the relevant kits.

I hope this helps, we've had nothing but positive feedback on the ROAM conversions.

ROAM discs on. The kit was very complete. Matt Browne has taken a few pictures. I'll try to get him to send them to me.

I'd be interested in seeing these pics. This is one of those 'maybe someday' things. How much of the conversion did you have to source outside of ROAM?

[Jim-ME]

ROAM discs on. The kit was very complete. Thank you RN as you did a really good job putting all the necessary bits in. The really nice thing about the new hubs is no more freeplay in the hub nuts. Not going to miss that. No more BSF bolts in any of it or studs in the bottom of the swivel housing. The only complaint which is minor is that there was some cleanup required on the inside of one swivel housing that required a die grinder. The instructions do state that minor grinding/cleanup may be necessary though. Matt Browne has taken a few pictures. I'll try to get him to send them to me.

Put a cyclone breather system on my 2.5 diesel and then started the install of the ROAM front disc brakes.

Went through the fluids and tyre pressure. Rolled the tilt up and drove around. It was about 65F out on Sat.

i replaced my hood latch mechanism, which has been a chronic irritant for years. The hood would spring up (not completely open) as is you had worked the lever to open the hood, and always left a 1-2" gap between the front wings and the edge of the hood. The new latch seems to be holding the hood down properly and I may be able now to adjust the big pin on the hood to snug it down even more.

I also started a thread covering my long expedition down the Pan-Am high way, on the main forums page. Check it out!

Finally finished restoring and re-installing of master cylinder reservoir after sourcing a DOT 4 resistant washer for bottom of can. Let's hope it does not leak. Tried to reconnect new RN brake line to old type CV brake master when it looks like the new brake line I installed has a connector that is smaller than the old one (?). I either have to start over and get a brake line connector that fits or find an adapter to bring it from the smaller size to one that fits the 109 CV Brake Master.

Yeah but will you stop dropping the tailgate on the hitch ball now?

That way when I bought it. One of the first things I did was complete the tailgate so that crap won't happen again.

Installed the Rovers North hitch today. Kit fit perfect except for the lack of nuts in the hardware packet. Now it's ready to pull the sailboat...in about 6 months.

Got a lot done on mine: replaced rubber wheel on the turn signal, new bulbs and now I have turn signals that work. Windshield wiper motor rebuilt and working. New rubber boots on all the shifters, new door hinge pins and bushings, new horn that works, new valve cover gasket and sorted out some wiring issues. Now its ready to take for a vehicle inspection for the first time in 43 years!
