Some yuppies are enthusiasts that like interiors that can be hosed out and tires that scream and doors that rattle and wind noise and bad gas mileage and all the other parts of owning a true LR. Anyone who buys a Defender for status and is willing to "compromise" is missing the point. And no, I never watch 90210....I had mine before they had theirs anyway. Robert, >>>I just ran across a manhattan dealer who sells parts over the net. The URL >>>is http://www.starweb.net/zumbach.html. One of the marques shown on the Zumbach is the only rover dealer in manhattan. When I was pricing my 94 D90 they seemed to have competative prices. They were even dealing on Discos. However I did not buy my 90 there...mostly because of location...I work in manhattan but found an excellent dealer near my house on Long Island. What amazes me about Zumbach is that they have many makes of vehicle under one roof. I had heard that LR dealers had to be exclusively LR. Can anyone verify this. Dont have any first hand experience with them...however it would appear (I waited 45 min for a salesperson) they do volume.

From: Andrew Grafton <A.J.Grafton@lut.ac.uk> Subject: Michelin XCLs Date: Wed, 16 Aug 95 15:06:13 BST Further to the Michelin XCL thread... I also heard that XCL's are to be discontinued and replaced with the 'new' Michelin offroad tyre. No details and can't confirm it though. Re : where to get them - there seems to be no shortage of supply from ex-military sources. The tyres will have been used (by the Army, so it's by no means ideal...) but are cheap. There would appear to be a lot of 'snow' XCLs around, which have metal studs in the treadblocks. Rumour has it that you can rip these out and end up with a serviceable tyre at low cost. I bought twelve 7.50R16 XCLs three weeks ago, ex-army, 7 virtually unused and 5 about half worn. No problems so far with any of them (all have been used). Don't know if this is any help.

At my local dealer (Phoenix) they have some used '94's and new '95's and that's the first thing that jumps out at you. The MT tyres are by far more "beefy" looking, and no doubt better for most trails. I believe the LRNA people are yielding to the desires of the "yuppies", as they have in numerous things. From a business standpoint, I guess you do have to give them what they want. But for us "purists".... Away with all the frills!!! Give me the ole metal dash, crumple zones on "the other guy's car", best trail tyres, etc... Other differences that I've noticed ('94 vs. '95): '94 has square tail lights, front turn indicators on the bumper. '95 has larger front "wing" signal lamps, and round tail lights. (And AT tyres.) From what I've seen... I'll take the round lights and change the tyres on the '95. Er... that is... if I had the option of choosing. But as it is, I can only afford to drive by after closing, and dream.

One comment about the leaking power steering pump: My mechanic advised me to just keep topping off the power steering fluid and not worry about the leak. I did this for a few months, and then one day during a mountain snow storm, while my wife was driving it, the pully on the front of the pump sheared right off! I'm not knowledgeable enough to know whether the leak and the subsequent self-destruction were related, but considering the inconvenience of trying to get a trailer tow in a snow storm, I sure wish I'd replaced it when the leak was noticed. -Matt ------------------------------[ <- Message 9 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950817 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I was born and raised a yuppie and too, have lived through the insults and cruel stares of strangers. Lately though, I wake up and start thinking of HD coil springs, winches, snorkels, skid plates and Camel Trophy type events and I feel the need to rebel against my upbringing. Recently converted to redneck, I make myself feel better about my new calling by trashing my past. Yesterday, I was feeling particularly perturbed about the effort I'm going to have to call forth to get some decent skid plates (looks like fabrication or UK) when TeriAnn's D90 tire mail crossed my path. Yuppies just got caught in my frustration with LRNA. Despite LRNA efforts to build and capitalize on the Camel Trophy and Best 4x4xFar off road image they don't seriously support such individual usage. Take a simple test. Walk in to you LR dealer and tell them you are looking for air conditioning, carpeting, and a CD changer for your D90. You'd be able to have everything installed by the end of a week. Go in and ask for a deep water fording kit, differential protection plates, and heavy duty springs to support a winch and you get shown the door. On the way out you get to pass by all those Camel Trophy posters (even video in some dealers) showing off deep water fording, protection plates, heavy duty winches, etc.... -Rick Richard Larson LSI Logic Corporation (408) 433-7149 ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950817 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

(I have no objections to Land Rovers, besides their price, but if I keep saving, maybe one day...:-) I do own a British car, though, if it helps. It's a 1975 Triumph Spitfire and I've been on the british-cars list for a while. Anyway, I have a friend (really, if it was me I'd say so ;-) who is seriously considering ordering a new Defender 90. What should he know before he signs anything? Any problems finding aftermarket parts? (I saw Rick Larson's message which leads me to believe the dealers aren't real supportive of Land Rover off-road enthusiasts.) One benefit of owning a 'mericun off-roader (a Jeep Wrangler) -- not that the dealers are real supportive, but there's lots of aftermarket stuff. Back to the issue at hand, what options should he consider? He'll probably be doing some off-roading, but nothing too intense (keep in mind we live in upstate New York). How about servicing the Defender? He probably won't do much of that himself, and the nearest dealer is approx. 2 hours away. Can local mechanics or national chains handle the work? Would you trust them with it? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Feel free to e-mail me directly in case I'm duplicating any recent postings that I may have missed. Thanks in advance!

Well all my friends say I am the biggest (not in size) yuppie they know, because who else but a yuppie would spend $30,000 on a truck that(as my girlfriend says) has no door panels, no carpet, no leather seats, looks like it has not been completed by the factory, and then take it out and smear mud all over it.... I was also the first "yuppie" to buy (my now sold for Def-90) Toyota-4runner with all leather interior, all options yuppie-mobile and take it directly to Baja (1 week after purchase) only to get it stuck in the sand by the ocean and fill with mud (whole front end sank past the headlights), towed out and brought back to U.S. with major damage (and I still did not have the license plates yet).

This is more of Land Rovers North America corporate complaint. I've found some very knowledgable and 4x4 enthusiastic people at the dealerships I've delt with.

The banks want to protect their equity. Taking to the back country is too likely to cause damage. As for servicing a Rover that's still on warranty, I'd be surprised if Land Rover North America authorized any garages that weren't also dealers.

When a duffer of a neighbor richocheted a nine-iron shot off a tree and through my passenger windscreen, the local glass shop replaced it with DoT-approved, tinted safety glass for $37 a piece. -Ben Newman writes about bulkhead padding. I replaced mine six years ago with some cloth-faced, adhesive-backed neoprene from (dare I say it??) J.C. Whitless. Used the jute original as a template, and it looks just fine after years of hard use. Newspaper or cardboard can be used to make a template. -Rad hoses. Series LR hoses can be obtained just about anywhere...as can oil seals and bearings. Land Rover owners are some of the most parsimonious folks on earth...some of you out there squeeze a nickle so hard the buffalo gets a headache...so here's a cheap fix for the intermediate hose that's been listed in several recent posts. Mine failed a few years ago, and it was the only one for which I didn't have a spare. Cut the ends off a beer can (can't remember the brand), spread it with Permatex, wrapped it around the hose and used the existing hose clamps to secure it. Armored hoses - what a concept. Worked like a champ for two years. -Waterproofing distributors. Gunk makes an ignition sealer spray, which is basically lacquer. Cheap hairspray works almost as well. In my opinion, you don't want to seal the distributor up all *too* well, or else inevitable condensation will start to corrode the innards. "And now for something completely different...."
