Date: Sat, 7 Oct 1995 22:04:26 +1200 From: jawa@i-max.co.nz (leonard john hobart) Subject: fuel tanks It arrived today. The new LWB frame for my 74 series 3, its off a 79 diesel, and in mint condition. But there appear to be no mounts, in the new frame for the petrol tank. the old one is mounted under the right hand seat, and the guy from the wreckers yard who sold me this one indicated that the tank goes down the back somewhere. Can someone tell me where it goes? will I need a different shaped tank from the under seat one. thanking you in advance. john ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951008 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: 07 Oct 95 07:52:05 EDT From: "William L. Leacock" <75473.3572@compuserve.com> Subject: Rover prices I agree the 90 is overpriced, rather like the they used to say about the GI 's in England in ww2, over priced, over sexed and over here.!! You missed one important factor however and that is import duty which is 20 or 25%. in order to protect the domestic suv's, mostly from the Japanese imports I believe. In the UK the 90 is much cheaper than the disco at base level, the US spec vehicles are however much higher spec than the UK models. The Jeeps are on sale in the UK and are still cheaper than the Rover, don't think they attract high import duties . Regards Bill Leacock Limey in exile. The older, original Jeep is however more expensive than the Land Rover. ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951008 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Is you point that all 4WDs are too expensive, or is that Land Rovers are expensive in comparison to other 4WDs? Both? Yeah, Land Rovers are expensive, but it always costs more to get the best. I'm not sure I agree with your opinion that LR should produce a $15K knock-off just to cut into the Jeep market. Would you want Rolls Royce to produce a $7,000 car to compete with Geo Metro? With all of the corners LR and Rolls would have to cut, the knock-offs wouldn't really anything in common with their more costly brethren except the badges. Cheers!

Of course... And if you happened to bring a nice modern Range Rover to one of the events next year, I'd be most pleased to try it out and give you my impressions there too... :-) ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951008 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: ecoethic@rcinet.com Date: Sat, 7 Oct 1995 21:16:18 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Shot at again in New Hampshire! No, I really wasn't shot at again in New Hampshire, but I was wounded in spirit. Back in September one of our group offered a Bellview winch for sale and I immediately sent an E-mail message as well as called. I spoke to the seller and told him that I was interested provided it was functional. He agreed to send a picture of it and said that "I had the right of first refusal." Well, nothing has transpired despite my sending several messages asking if he wanted a deposit or full payment in the meantime. It is now apparent that he sold the winch to someone else and has broken his promise. I bring all of this up not as sour grapes, for after all I am such a skilled driver that I am unlikely to ever need a winch myself :-). I have driven the last thirty years without one, it's just that I have this dream about winching out Jeeps and Toys, etc. instead of dragging them out. The problem with this situation for me is that it violates the spirit of friendship and trust that bonds this group together. Many of you have given freely of your expertise no matter who asked for help. The seller of the winch, in fact, recently asked about paint code numbers and received multiple detailed replies. The buyer of the winch probably also received help in the details about hooking up electric winches that was also given freely by knowledgeable list members. Just as we trust the information that is shared here to be honest to the best of each person's knowledge, I think we should expect a decent level of honesty when we sell items to fellow list members. When one loses the trust of fellow Rover owners, one loses a lot. This is a special group of people, one not worth disappointing.

Date: Sun, 8 Oct 1995 16:00:45 +1000 From: Lloyd Allison <lloyd@cs.monash.edu.au> Subject: 4 door tilts I have seen a 5dr 109 SW with a full-length soft-top (tilt?), unfortunately I did not have a camera handy. I've also seen pic's in a book or mag' somewhere. I think a few were made for export markets. Oil-transfer: S1-SIII seem to transfer oil from gearbox -> tc_case when old and the intermediate seal has gone. LT95 can transfer oil tc_case -> gearbox if the sleeve that the intermediate seal runs on can move on the output shaft. This is surprising 'cos it is "uphill". Cure is to locktite sleeve to shaft and take out slack with shims. Similar effect, but slower, if the o-ring sealing the reverse-gear shaft is damaged.

From: Sekerere@aol.com Date: Sun, 8 Oct 1995 02:42:42 -0400 Subject: Parts from The Homecountry Just a quick query-has anyone done business with Trakkers-the seat and accessories company in the UK? I am considering buying thier Dickie seats for my IIA. Also anyone with experiences of shipping costs etc, I am in Arizona? Last question is there anyone else doing an order to the Uk, maybe we can combine orders and save a few C.
