First I should explain about my rover-the PO painted it black, originally it was poppy red (the interior still is) the roof is still limestone, but the sides are maroon primer. I am going to paint it poppy red, but am unsure what bits to paint what color so here are my questions 1st, - there is no white, only limestone, Correct? 2nd, - wheels are always painted limestone except for SVOs? 3rd, - door tops are body colour? 4th, - Rear door gets painted body colour? 5th - window side-panels get painted limestone or body colour? if this is any help it is an export LHD Late IIA 1969 SWB Rgds...

Date: Mon, 4 Apr 1994 01:18:35 -0600 (CST) From: "S.Vels Christensen" <velssvch@inet.uni-c.dk> Subject: Charge Probs (yet another) Hi Today i had to submit myself to public transportation. Lawrence refused to start. The problem is a flat battery. What puzzles me is that the charge bulb is always on when starting and goes out immediately when the engine turns. So it must be charging i guess. I couldn't even crankstart it. I checked for water where there's not supposed to be any. All OK. I could also get a spark on the thin coil/distributor wire with the key in ignition. I believe i have quite a good understanding about how the electrics works. And everything seems to be ok. Could it just be a defect battery? It's not quite new but its an expensive and well kept Volvo battery. Not an off the shelf 20pounds supermarket type of Ducellier. The fluid level seems to be ok. Any clues appreciated. I'll have to take the bus when i go home from work on thursday. Sympathy also appreciated.

Twarog" <ftwarog@moose.uvm.edu> Subject: LRNA Reps Roy Caldwell stated on yesterday's lro-digest that there was a LRNA rep roaming the list and assured us all that he/she was making note of our comments. Well, here goes... 1. Will the Def. 90 be available for 1996? - If not, what legislation changes make it unavailable to the US? 2. Will there ever be spare aluminum hardtop parts available to the general public - specifically the pieces that mount to the tailgate lid allowing for it to be raised by hydralics? I'd like to purchase a set for my IIA's tailgate lid (the rods are definitely tedious). 3. Will I be able to get retro-fit doorpockets and the pieces that make the driver/passenger doors stay open for my '94 Def. 90? 4. Is there any conceivable way to get an aluminum hardtop kit through LRNA - esp. the different type elbow pieces that attach the front section of the safari cage to the hardtop itself? (I would be planning to remove the rest of the cage during the months that the top was on) If said rep were willing to respond to my questions directly (in order to save face on the digest) I would greatly, GREATLY appreciate it.
