From: Vel Natarajan <nataraja@cig.mot.com> Subject: Serial # Question - IIa design modifications Date: Mon, 10 Apr 1995 04:13:50 -0500 (CDT) I went to look at a '66 109 3-door IIa yesterday. I noticed that the serial number was: 2511xxxxC xxxx = (I forgot the rest.) Which makes it a 62-71 109" Petrol Home RHD vehicle. But what SPECIFICALLY does the "C" mean?

From: Vel Natarajan <nataraja@cig.mot.com> Subject: Where should the headlights be for this model year? Date: Mon, 10 Apr 1995 04:27:19 -0500 (CDT) I'm looking to bring back to the US a 109 SIIa. I went to look at a '66 (verified by seeing the log book). But to bring it back, I want to make sure it's not going to give the customs officials any doubts. It had headlights on the wings (fenders) with the marker lights above and below to the outside. It also had the traditional IIa lights on the front face (grille). The owner told me that the wing headlights were original, but they had also kept the cutouts for the grille lights and he had put them in. I wanted to verify if this is correct. Can anyone tell me for sure if this is the case? The grill was a SIII grill which was obviously cut up a little to fit. If I decide to purchase the vehicle, I will definitely replace it with a proper SII metal grille. I'll also have to strip off all the camo army paint. The truck spent over a year in Bosnia where the owner was doing some mercenary work (he was an ex British army captain) and eventually aid work. We spoke for a while and he showed me pictures of his time out there as well. He's done quite a bit of work on it from welding patches to rear-crossmember supports to new brakes, tires, exhaust, ignition electricals, etc. The frame looked pretty good as did the bulkhead/firewall and footwells. He wants 1400 pounds, but I'd like to try for around 1100-1200 pounds. What do you think?

J Cassidy-- RR diffs It is not necessary to rebuild the crown and pinion into a ser 2 housing, in fact this can be complicated because the later models have different bearing sizes, just change the whole assembly, typical UK cost 100 pounds. The 3.54 ratio is too high for a ser 2, particularly with 7.50 tyres, try the 4.3 ratio. With 6.00 tyres and no towing requirements the 3.54 is usable but still a little high.

From: "Tom Rowe" <TROWE@AE.AGECON.WISC.EDU> Date: Sun, 10 Apr 1995 09:16:27 GMT -0600 Subject: Movie sighting, volt meters, RR diffs With all the movie talk lately I was supprised not to see one listed. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it because I saw it many years ago. It might have stared Peter Fonda, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway the story is about a worker at a South African diamond mine planning a heist with some co-horts. They all get killed except the leading man and woman. They make their escape in Land Rovers ( some good chase scenes through the desert). One of the thieves escaping with them, but in a different Land Rover, gets shot and wrecks. As he stands up staggering he mutters "Good Land Rover, good ol' Land Rover", and then expires. What a man, even in death he didn't call it a jeep. I'll see if I can find the name of the movie if nobody reconizes it. It's actually a pretty good movie as I recall. Hear hear to TerriAnn. Any time you want to get on a soap box about volt meters, I'll build the box for you. Range Rover diffs in a series: The only reason I know of to do it is if you do a lot of highway driving and want to cut down on engine and tranny rpm's. As I recall they give about the same final ratio as an overdrive. I installed a set ( in addition to an overdrive) in an 88 I put a Perkins 4-203 in. The reason being low top rpm for the Perkins. The down side, of course, is that if you do a lot of off roading, your creeping ability is lessened.

We have virtually no impact on them. Those of us who have been driving LR products for years are probably not going to shell out 30 grand right away. Most people who buy a disco have no idea that it is related to my series 3. We are of no concern to LRNA as a corporation. The poor lurker on the system is probably just one of us. Lets leave him alone and thank LRNA for importing the token defender. If I understand it correctly we can now upgrade or old series to our hearts content. I checked with motor vehicles and with EPA. and newer engines,transmissions,... are transplantable. We get the best of both worlds. Our old series can ride just like a defender(maybe better) and we can keep our old cars. I`m quite attached to mine. I've had it for 13 years and am not about to give it up now. P.S. Dear lurker: could you convince LRNA to import a few TDI's in ANY of the LR products. Until you do I can't upgrade my wife's LR to the TDI. oh and by te way. though I probably won't/can't trade in my old landrover I have convinced someone who was going to buy a explorer to get a disco instead(38 grand). so I guess we do have some value to LRNA in general.

From: berg@acf2.NYU.EDU (Jeff Berg)
Subject: Re: CB recommendations?
I'm in the "one-hander" school myself. I have an older (1982) Radio Shack
model mounted behind the heater outlet on the transmission tunnel at the
point it meets the firewall. (See the RoverWEB page for a photo.) I'll
confess, this is a less than ideal location if you have intentions of deep
wading and run the risk of what can now be known as "pulling a Graniville",
or perhaps more appropriately, "Pooling your vehicle"! ;-} Anyhow, the
handset/controls easily stretch to the driver's seat and can be quickly
removed for security. I also use a dash mounted 3&1/2" speaker to hear the
thing over the roar of the engine and clamor of the body.
I don't believe Radio Shack makes a one-hander anymore, at least the 1993
catalog in my office doesn't list one. I have seen a Cobra model with this
feature advertised in recent Radio hobbyiest/scanner magazines though. Try
a decent radio shop for other possibilities.
I can't say I optimized my antenna system. I clamped an old K-2 (left over
from my GTi) onto the rear bumper using a Radio Shack gutter mount as the
base. I drilled new holes to match the bolt pattern of the rear "handle"
and put the antenna mount in between the "handle" and the bumper. I got a
decent, but not ideal, SWR match.

FWIW, I've gotten e-mail messages from several k12 addresses as part of my
work-related interaction with the public. The public schools are getting
wired for the Internet at a pretty good clip, and we can expect to see
more interaction as time goes by. The messages have come from both
students and teachers.

]From: Easton Trevor <TEASTON@DQC2.DOFASCO.CA> Subject: Wheels and Tyres Date: Mon, 10 Apr 95 11:45:00 DST Ditto to Hank's comment on Daytons. I have been running 215/85/16s for three years now. They work well in mud and great in snow. A direct comparison of Miss Golighty on Daytons to a 1994 Defender in Goodrich had the Defender pushing a wall of snow ahead then stopping when it became too high. Miss G just cut two grooves for the tyres and one for the differentials and kept right on through. Those BFGs look macho but are too wide for Canadian snow. This weekend TARC held its first April Fools Errand an exploration of unimproved roads on the Niagara Peninsula. (For unimproved read "Seriously Degraded") Land Rover attendance was poor (2 Discoveries, 1 Series III. Plus 2 Series IIA and a Lightweight from the organisers ) with a total of eleven participants. A good time was had by all who attended. LRO Howard Fisk from Missouri came with a rented Lincoln Town Car but couldn't be persuaded to participate in the off road sections. One of the best performers was a two wheel drive Nissan Pick Up which traversed all but the worst sections successfully, helped in no small part by the drivers "don't care" attitude to potential damage. After all Nissan Pick Ups are two a penny.
