Well I was up til past midnight with the toys that are extras to my 
needs. I have used my method of cleaning them, the big 3 inch wide paint 
brush. You would be surprised how good a job this does getting into the 
nooks and crannies on a toy. I dont wash my toys for fear of rust stains 
later.

The following are available for those who might be interested in starting 
a Land Rover Toy collection.

1. Britains #9512 Farm 90, mint condition, box complete but a bit 
   wrinkled. never been taken of the cardboard in the box. $25

Subject: Tires for 88 RR

Greetings, My  88 RR owners manual is quite specific about  warning that the RR
MUST be fitted with "S" rated tyres. Can any one recommend tyres for my vehicle.
I would like tyres for  all around/ hwy use. There will be little high speed,
long duration, highway driving:  And little off road driving as well.  Mainly
used for short haul errands.  Thanks in advancce for your suggestions.  Cheers
Cliff.

>  Can anyone confirm the discontinuation of the XCL, what about outside the US?

My Michelin Dealer,  who generally knows what he is talking about, did 
confirm that they are no longer available.  The August Land Rover Owner 
International Mag has an advert from John Craddock (phone listed as 01543 
577207, you'd need to get country code and use 011 to access 
international call) for mounted 750x16 XCL takeoffs for 117.50 Pounds.  
So they are out there, but you are going to have to do some serious work 
to get them.

Subject: Series II Restoration Underway

Well it started when an associate told me that "any real 4X4 ya wash out
with a hose", and I realized that my 90 Range Rover really was a working
mans Rover. So I set out to acquire a real Land Rover.

Six months later, there it was, sitting in downtown San Diego in a back
lot.  From the looks of it it had done serious work over the course of the
last 30 years, but I took a liking to this not so well aged 65 Series II
Diesel Truck.  Luck would have it I acquired a parts vehicle not a month
later and then set out to make one good outta the two.

Eight months later we now have a newly rebuild rolling frame and are
waiting for delivery of a Turner build Diesel and full synro transmission
to complete the running gear.  Beyond the running gear, every single bolt
and body piece is being slowly overhauled to new condition.  Not a show
restoration, but one designed to give me another 30 years of use outta this
tough vehicle.

Which brings up a good question, has anyone had any original parts
"Regalvanized"?  If so, was the firm good to work with, and sympathtic to
restoration purists?  Send any leads or ideas to the net, as I have found
it hard to resolve this issue.

My hats off to those of you who have completed a full restoratiion in the
past, its quite a challenge, but also very rewarding.  My only caution to
those that may be considering the restoration path is an upfront
understanding of the $$....it can be quite damaging to the family budget!

Happy motoring!

Subject: EFI Warning Light on Binnicle 

I just purchased a 1988 Range Rover with 113k miles.  Have driven it for 200mi
without problem.   Haven't driven it for 4 days. Took it our for 7miles of hwy
driving, parked x 20 minutes and when I started it up again: it wouldn't start
immedately and when it did after a few moments the EFI Warning Light came on. I
put EFI gas treatment into a full tank 1/2 tank ago.  Any Ideas on what the
problem may be?
