Now that you mention it, I did a brake job on a LR some years back that had copper lines (plumbing type) and they were *quite* brittle, two or three flexes back and forth and I snapped them in two.

{Description of purchase of a nice 109 deleted to save space}
>1 - Alternator mounting:
If you can find an alternator bracket from a later 2.25 or 2.5 engine,
it works well with 3 1-inch spacers behind it. A length of steel with a slot
or a series of holes then supports the top bolt. This works quite well, and is
what I am using on MY 109 pickup (a '64).
>2 - Smiths heater replacement:
A used Kodiak heater. A chap here on the list advertisd one a week or so ago.
If not, call some of the Canadian parts dealers. They can be had used.

With one the age of yours, you pop two bolts, one of the ones in the
circumference of the top and the one in the very top center. Put oil in the
hole opened by releasing the top bolt until it comes out the bottom bolt
hole. Close it up, and you're done.
>4 - I could use any tips on winterizing my vehicle.
Insulation, insulation and more insulation. Rover pickups have squat
for insulation, and no heater is going to keep up with a drafty aluminum box.
Puting in ome carpeting, door panels and a roof liner will help
with the noise and help keep you warm, too.
Used parts:
Ask around and keep your eyes open. Personally, when it comes to things
like the locker covers, I usually make my own. Galvanized steel is not
difficult to work with hand tools, and if painted properly looks completely
original.
Also, if you're not a purist (and I'm not, as the list knows...<grin>), seats
from
another make can be fitted and be quite comfortable. I'm fitting mine with 2
leather buckets removed from a Volvo donor in a scrapyard, for example.

Say John...
If you do not mind saying, who are you purchasing your pile of parts from
and approximately how much was the shipping on the lot (one box?)? It's all
in one enormous crate?...Have fun getting it home! {8-O Did you have a good
experience with this LR merchant?
I have all sorts of things on my Rover wish list and would also like to
order a huge pile from the UK, perhaps including a frame. UK prices look
exceedingly low compared to U.S. sources, but do the shipping charges make it
economically viable? What about customs (but, you are in Canada, right?)?
Does the the shipping charge look less ugly in comparison to the savings on
parts prices when buying in relative bulk (for an individual)?
Just frustrated with prices on this side of the Atlantic (don't feel right
calling it "The Pond").

Tony, Back when I used to ride a BMW (I still long for one. Someday, again) there was an article in one of the bike mags about drilling your rotors, if I remember correctly. I've never done it so I don't know about pros and cons. Pehaps a good brake shop could help you out. Does annyone know anything about that?

Subject: A new RR 4.0SE Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 09:25:23 -0700 (PDT) From: "Doug Carmean" <dcarmean@ichips.intel.com> Well, I'm sure that this little story of me and my 4.0SE will bring snickers from the real LR owners, but I thought I'd pass on my experiences with my new RR. I recently took delivery of a 1995 Avalon Blue RR 4.0SE. After being told by countless brokers (OK, just 4 of them) that the only two cars that they can't get for a discount are Land Rovers and Saturns, I bent over and bought it from the local dealer. The dealer only had one demo on his lot, so I was required to give him a $1,000 and wait ~30 days for the honor of owning a LR. On delivery day, the salesman spent almost 2 hours going over the car with me, giving me a tour of their service department, and introducing me to various people around the dealership. We were presented with the standard LR picnic basket, filled with various goodies from the little Island out there somewhere. After reading stories on the digest about ants and moldy food in the baskets, I was quite relieved to find everything quite tasty and totally bug free. As I got about a block away from the dealership, I noticed a drab green Series III driving a couple of lanes over. This was the first one I can recall seeing on the streets of Portland. I got this amazing look from the driver of the other LR. It's hard to describe, but, needless to say, it was a near sneer. Kind of one of those looks that said 'Don't you wish you had a *real* LR?'. Well, life with the RR has been great. The beast is averaging very close to 14.0 MPG on a mix of hwy/city driving. It's been fairly warm here, so the climate controls have been cranked way down. I've been taking it easy on the new engine, but this thing is definitely not going to set any speed records. It seems pretty happy to cruise at 65 or 70mph after having taking it's sweet time to lumber up to that speed. We've had a couple of small problems. The passenger side seat (all electric) had a headrest that was stuck all the way out. After a trip back to the dealer, LR decided to replace the entire seat rather than attempt to fix the motor. Also, the external mirror on the driver's side vibrates on rough roads. The dealer said that LR has acknowledged that this a design problem and is currently working on a new mirror design. He said that they would update my mirror when LR released the new design. After reading about the Disco's radio volume control, I've been playing with the one in my RR. It sure seems like the RR volume controls are totally independent. I can crank the volume all the way down on the radio and then raise the volume to ear splitting levels using the controls on the steering wheel. We're off to the RR off road clinic this weekend that is being held by the local dealership. It'll be interesting to see how this thing handles the dirty stuff.

Do you already have it? If not, I have most of one made for series and will have the rest of it soon along with original brochure showing it in a Land Rover. I will be selling it to help the owner pay for a needed engine. It was mounted in a 1960-88. If you want to know more, get in touch with me.

From: UncleBrad@aol.com Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 14:15:32 -0400 Subject: Camel Disco Got a call from Scotty last night. His son, Ian ran into a couple by the name of Jeffreys who were apparently the British Camel team in the Mundo Maya run. They were in Sacramento with their fully loaded Camel Disco! Turns out that they landed in Boston and are touring the US before heading to South America via Mexico. Those of you who will be in Colorado for the Solilhull Society's big rally will probably have the chance to meet the Jeffreys as Ian says they are planning to attend the meet before heading South. Ian gave the Jeffreys my phone number since they were heading this way, but so far I haven't heard from them. If anyone runs into these folks, I hope you will have a camera with you. I'd love to get a couple of photos for the Aluminum Workhorse. See ya!
