Date: Wed, 28 Jun 95 06:31:10 PDT From: steve gross <sgross@enet.net> Subject: RE: The Land Rover Owner Daily Digest The vehicle test center (GTS) for Land Rover is located near the Dear Valley airport in Phoenix, Arizona. The head of the test center, David Champion, left about two years ago, and is now with Nissan Motors in Southern California. Since David's departure, morale at the test center has gone way down. They don't have a boss there yet- Land Rover sends someone over from England every 3-4 months to watch over the place. They are all worried about losing their jobs and very paranoid about journalists or any outsider getting a photo or any information on the new vehicles. I worked with David before he left the test center for about 2 years. Anyway, sorry to say that is the way it is at GTS now. -steve Stephen C.

I will leaving on a golf trip in August along with 3 other adults, and the roof rack will be used for storing 2 golf bags. I looked for the Discovery luggage box but it can only store away 57 lbs. I am willing to buy the roof rack (stock #RTC9539AB - Discovery accessories manual) but I am missing attachments. I am looking for some kind of strong sturdy "net" type device with hooks or something to secure the whole thing to the roof rack. Anyone out there with some suggestions or past experiences with similar loads? I don't want to hand up with a Camel trophy Lookalike roof rack!!! Also does anyone have the address or phone number for the Yakima rack manufacturer?

They carry the full line for Yakima as well. [The RR catalog shows the RocketBox -- 92" long made for golf clubs, skis.] Also, the LR dealer racks are Thule, I believe. Thule is at 800-238-2388.

Subject: Carb/Manifold screens
Dear LRO's,
In the 1970's during the gas shortage, some tinkerers came up
with the idea of placing a platinum or stainless steel fine mesh
screen between the carburetor and intake manifold. This setup
promised to increase one's gas mileage. The theory was to have
complete vaporization of the gas/air fuel mixture before combustion.
Question: Has anyone done this to a Series Land Rover?
Any thoughts on this? I'm seriously thinking of getting a fine
mesh stainless steel screen and triming it to fit for my SIIA. I
will let everyone know of my results - good or bad...
Later,

Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 20:37:05 +0100 From: cw117@mole.bio.cam.ac.uk (Charlie Wright) Subject: Siliconed Floor Panels Just a warning on this idea. What keeps water out will also keep it in (if you go deep ;-) More importantly, it will make removing the floor panels again a P-I-G = pig! I might suggest (I have yet to put this into action and accept no responsibility for the outcome) putting a bead of sealant along the contacting edges and around the bolt-holes, letting it sit overnight (to cure completely), and assembling it dry, as a standard rubber seal. Keep the bead wide and thin enough (like a ribbon) to seal without making reassembly a pain (or distorting your panels). I bet this is a pretty big improvement without sealing your floors down for good. Charlie C. R.

Subject: Mid-Atlantic Land Rover Rally
Several of you folks have requested lodging information near the site of the
rally. We have blocked off rooms at each of these establishments, but it is
*your* responsibility to make the reservations.
Buckingham Lodge: a corporate retreat-type of place. Very isolated, on the
banks of the James River. 12 rooms from about $46 to $65 per night. (804)
286-2100.
Fork Union Motel: The town's finest (read: only) lodging establishment.
Adjacent restaurant and pool. Rooms from $46 per night. Special rates if
you mention the rally. (804) 842-3255.
Palmer Country Manor: a bed-and-breakfast place about 30 min. away. Rooms
from $120. (800) 253-4306.
Tranquility Farm: another bed-and-breakfast, but much closer to the rally
site. From around $55. (804) 393-4456.
High Meadows Vineyard and Mountain Sunset Inn: though the name's too long,
it has nice views from a bluff overlooking the James near the town of
Scottsville. $69 to $235 for a suite. (804) 286-2218.
There will be plenty of room for camping at the site, but no services (like
showers). So if you must have a roof over your head, made arrangements with
one of the above establishments. Hope to see you there!

From: chris.youngson@deepcove.com Date: Wed, 28 Jun 95 19:14:11 Subject: FLOOR SEALANTS Why not try DAP removable caulking? It performs just like silicon, but it just peels off later. I looked for a product like this for about two years to seal my roof. This allows you to squirt into leaaky holes and just pull it out when you want to take the roof. It's used as removable household wheather-stripping. Works great. Also, as removable adhesive for stuff like interior upholstry and headlinings, just peels off, but sticks when you want it to. 73 Chris ------------------------------[ <- Message 16 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950629 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
