Subject: New NAS D90 Land Rover Toy News From: rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (Robin Craig) Date: Fri, 22 Dec 95 22:49:01 -0500 Well that didnt take very long did it! Andy my pal was out shopping the other day and as we toy collectors do he went through the kids selection of toys. Te On the shelf, large as life ( about 6 inches long) sat a Defender 90 NAS hard top ingreen with the grey hard top. It is a ripcord typre friction toy, driving only the rear axlebut it fair zips accross the kitchen table! The vehcile is really quite a faithfull reproduction right down to the turn signals in the bumpers! The DEFENDER logo is accross the top of the windshield and a 4 X 4 decal in the rear side window. The wheels are the five spokes with some pretty close to oem looking tyres. The proportions look really good all around on this baby, it comes with brush bar on the front, again a real oem look, and nerf bars on the side. If you want to find fault you can, there is none of the roll cage over the top or infront of the winshield. The rear axle is a bit far forward and the rear side panel lacks some of the lower part. This being a toy it has a mould plastic base which, listen for it, CLANG, has leaf spings!! This toy is in limted supply around here. It's maker is Lanard and this is in the Supershots line of toys. If I can lay my hands on enough of these I will be doing custom paint jobs to order in all the D90 NAS colours, email me to register your interest.

I was promptly demolished in Perdition's flames for being a ****head salesman. But I thought without mentioning specifics it was a simple question of making people aware of an opportunity... I'm considering a web page for the dealership I work for down the road so that people have to seek our page for this type of info. So, forgive me for past transgressions, and forgive me in advance, but.... BTW, Metro West has stumbled into three more D90 SW's for January allocation, two of them still available. Will I get flamed for spamming or thanked for helping a couple of Roverheads find a couple of good homes for the last of an era? I hope the latter. Please post private enquiries to me. If I have offended anyone, I apologize in advance. I simply don't know how to reach a dedicated group such as us any quicker... BTW, there is a really cool D90 SW sales brochure which has just been released - similar to the D110 one a few years back. For brochure collectors - this one has to be right up there in desirability. I recommend descending upon your local LR purveyor to see if you can cop one. We had one box of them delivered to Metro West and they're already almost gone. Any *LOCAL* LROs in the Boston area are welcome to stop by and I'll hand out what few I have stashed. Due to demand and supply, I cannot mail them out however. The cover is what's neat - a relief of some mountain peaks with simple lettering - quite effective. Also neat in back is a shot of the new full length roof rack (almost identical to the NAS D110 rack) complete with chassis to rack ladder and support strut on right rear side. This means that the load is carried by the chassis and the front roll cage - *NOT* the aluminum roof gutter. So, it will fit on any NAS D90! Looks like Safety Device's work. Slick piece. No info on price yet. I will keep you posted on this. cheers Jim - out of control Rover enthusiast... `67 2A 88 5.0L hybrid `67 2A 109 5.0L hybrid `68 2B 110 F/C diesel `70 P6B 3500S `90 Range Rover County `93 D110 (#457/500) `95 D90 #1958 ------------------------------[ <- Message 16 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951224 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Better still is to simply scratch a line with the tang of a file.
WRT the thread on oil additives, I've used this stuff called DSX, the
propaganda for which sounds a lot like that Mecacyl stuff. DSX is
sub-micron in particle size and can't clump up like the Teflon stuff can.
Originally, it was developed as an oil-free weapons lube just prior to
Desert Storm, hence the name _D_esert _S_torm _E_xperimental. It can be
used in both water- and oil-based formulations, and when used in firearms,
it won't attract grit and dirt like oil can. It *seems* to do a good job in
my 2.25: vacuum is (or rather was) up slightly and I could pull one long
hill without downshifting like before application. (Could have been a tail
wind though, as I have no way to quantify the results.) However, DSX
surpasses every other lubricant in university testing. Kinda pricey stuff, tho'
Merry Christmas to All...and may your Rover get frequent, regular oil
changes (Dixon) in the coming year.
Cheers

Merry Christmas. Just a comment and a question on those pesky free-
wheeling hubs. I put a set of Warns on my first L-R, a '73 88.
Followed the directions and topped up the 90 wt.in the swivel pin
housing-straight foward. Then I got an '83 RHD military 109 and
decided to fit the FWHs on this one. I had to order the 24 spline
(21 spline?-the beer is finally working on the memory...Hello Sandy,
Hello Dixon) from England (Fairey). Put these on just like before.
About two years later I was looking through a Haynes manual and
they said that after the "axel rationalisation program of 1981 ( 82-80
?-memory again)" the hubs were no longer lubricated by the oil in
the swivel pin housing and should be greased. Well I just put 'em
back on. Did I screw up. I plan on going thru my brakes this Spring
(getting the TC 2000's out of the garage :-) ). Should I do anything
to my hubs? I do have a loud squeek from the wheels when I pull away
but I'm pretty sure that's just shoe dust in the drum.
I've been involved with Studebaker people ('63 Avanti), 60's
hot stuff ('68 Road Runner), and Land-Rover people. All I can say is
that if Will Rogers were alive he would be driving a Land-Rover.
Best, Dave kurzman@ix.netcom.com
