Date: 10 Jul 94 16:47:56 EDT From: "Stefan R. Jacob" <100043.2400@compuserve.com> Subject: Dealers, parts; LR-FAQ Folks, I'd like to place a request for a friend of mine who will soon take up a professional appointment in El Salvador. He's having his Defender shipped from Europa to Jacksonville and will continue overland from there. The info he'd like to have is a more or less comprehensive list of all Land Rover dealers, garages, parts&spares suppliers etc. along the US gulf coast (including Jacksonville), e.g. Tallahassee, Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Beaumont, Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio,Laredo, Brownsville, or the respective vicinities. Problem is I still haven't managed to access the Land-Rover FAQ list, I'm sure it contains such information. Isn't there a site I could dial into directly as guest and retrieve it? I was told of the site triumph.cs.utah.edu, 155.99.208.4, but that seems to be a network address not a phone number. If so, what net would that be? TIA, Stefan R.

Well, I haven't actually _subscribed_ yet, but I did finally manage to get
a response from the automatic list manager "Mojordomo".
Send the one-line message
help
to Majordomo@Chunnel.uk stratus.com, and he'll tell you all about himself.
I'll subscribe (or at least try to) next week. After that I'll be "offline"
for about three weeks, rovering through France and northern Spain.
Cheers,

]Date: Sun, 10 Jul 1994 18:43:22 -0500 (CDT) From: David John Place <umplace@CC.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: roll bar, Diesel Badge, Digest Hi you might want to get in touch with a fellow called Melcolm Engleman in Onoway Alberta Canada. He has access to military units which are left in Canada by the Brits when they come to Suffield Alberta for gunnery practice. His prices are not high. I usually call him in the evening at 9 P.M. his time. His phone number is area code 403-967-5531. Tell him Dave Place from Selkirk Manitoba Canada said to call. I have bought such things as a tail gate and a military soft top from him this year. He bought out a Land Rover business in Calgary Alberta as well, so he has lots of parts. I hope this is of some use to you. Cheers Dave VE4PN ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940711 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The first part should be readable text, while the remaining parts are likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools. --1900034727-885409262-773886359:#21166 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Taking the address provided, triumph.cs.utah.edu, I went exploring and found that the server is a UNIX machine with a jumbled collection of material including a LR_FAQ which seems quite comprehensive, and a readme file that I will append. Please let me know if there is a demand for distributing the LR_FAQ to all recipients; it is long. I will send it directly to Stefan separately so he can extract the information he is seeking. I think what Stefan really needs, and is not going to get in its entirety, is a current list of Rover Dealers in the southern United States, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. (Back in the Dark Ages (ca 1970) there was a decent Land Rover dealer in panama, and there are lots in Costa Rica, assembled there for the most part, at least in the Dark Ages). Does anybody have such a list handy, or know where it could be obtained? Walter Swain Davis, CA On 10 Jul 1994, Stefan R.

Date: Mon, 11 Jul 1994 16:35:30 +1200 From: hugh@nezsdc.fujitsu.co.nz Subject: Generator to alternator upgrade The armature windings in my IIA's generator seem to have decided that there are faster ways to earth than through the brushes. Of course it had to happen late at night while it was snowing still an hour drive away from my destination, Ohakune. The headlights were glowing dimly on 8V when I arrived. I'm now looking at either repairing it (replace the armature + armature bush) or replacing it with a suitable alternator such as the Lucas 16ACR which was fitted to later models (this will be more expensive). I'd have to make up a mounting bracket for the Holden motor in either case since the current bracket is broken, and the alternator mount is different. Another possibility might be to fit a Bosch alternator as came on the Holden originally, and in this case a mounting bracket will be easy to find. Rewiring to bypass the old regulator seems like it would be quite straitforward. So those of you who have gone to an alternator (Dale?), or who have considered it but decided not to, what do you figure are the pros and cons, and is it worth it? (Bear in mind I already have negative earth.) I think I should keep this repair cheap, since every dollar I spend on the vehicle at the moment strengthens Monique's case for me to sell it. Her and I have different ideas of what constitutes reliable. She seems to think it means "doesn't break down" while I think it means "is repairable." You'd all agree with me. Wouldn't you? ------------------------------[ <- Message 7 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 940711 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
