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. ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950813 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: "Walter C. Swain" <wcswain@s101dcascr.wr.usgs.gov> Subject: Re: 16" Radials for Ser III Date: Sat, 12 Aug 1995 09:49:27 -0700 (PDT) > 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.

Date: Sat, 12 Aug 1995 10:55:41 -0800 From: greg@triteal.com (Greg White) 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!
