Re: Luvax Vane Type Dampers

To resurrect this thread, Can anyone tell me how to check the level of the vane type suspension, having removed the filler cap I am greeted by the adjustment screw but no oil. In the maintenance section of the workshop manual it states to fill the oil to within 3/4" of the top, how is this measured?...

Re: Jacking points

I have made a couple of pictures of the jack that was in COA550, looking at the rest of the vehicle I am sure David Moseley would have researched and found the correct one for the age and model, I have made an adaptor for a bottle jack, easier to use. The identifying marks on the casting are: Lake &...

Re: Navigation trial

Hi David, thank you for the Blackwell Calculator, I will attempt to instruct the navigator boss on how it works. It was really nice to see your Rover this morning, and meeting you and your lovely wife.
All was well on the way back but a rear tyre exploded about 4 miles from home, ah well.

Re: fuel sender voltage

Thank you for the schematic, I am a bit mystified why there is only 7.6V on the single terminal, (this is the one that connects to the fuel sender), I guess that is why there is no reading on the fuel gauge, too low a voltage. There is a series of pages from a chap in the USA who completely dismantl...

fuel sender voltage

Good afternoon all, The fuel gauge on the tourer is not working, a little while ago it started working after driving for several miles but it has now given up completely, the oil sender has also stopped working. I have 7.6V at the fuel sender, is this correct or should it be 12V, on the fuel gauge t...

Navigation trial

I have just entered the Hero Novice trial due to take place in May with COA550, having never done this type of event before I was wondering whether there are any suggestions the membership can offer to make this event a "roaring" success. Map reading is not an issue, we have never used a sat nav in ...
