I finally drove the rover UNDER ITS OWN POWER to the gas (petrol) station today. The state trooper *thankfully* didn't look twice at it. After getting the voltage stabilizer installed the gas gauge moved from full bottomed out to mid E on about 2 gallons of gas.
I had to jump start it, I beleive that the power cable to the starter wasn't tightened enough.
It accelerated pretty good, but with 32 x 11.5 15s it had to get to top gear pretty quick. I filled up the rest of the way with 9.7 gallons. This gives me 3/4 tank. Now I need to bend the tank float to make it full. I noticed that the speedo wasn't working. Pulled the guage cluster, plugged in the speedo cable that I forgot, and checked everything. A quick trip around the drive and the speedo works, the odometer is in question of how accurate it is, but hey- it does work.
