From: howtaw@hg.uleth.ca Date: Thu, 08 Feb 1996 01:21:49 MST Subject: starter just spins What I really hate is when, after the motor just spins, you pull the motor out and the gear and other bits off the end of the motor are missing. It took a week to fish out all the bits! Used magnets, wire, etc... Too lazzy to remove the engine.

Date: Thu, 8 Feb 1996 09:12:29 +0000 (GMT) From: Lester Gilbert <lg1@canterbury.ac.uk> Subject: FC101 campervan conversion I'd really like to hear from anyone who has seen, used, or even undertaken a campervan conversion of the FC101 battlefield ambulance. I've previously converted a VW Kombi back in '84 and then took it across the Sahara from The Gambia via Mali, Niger, and Algeria in '90... interesting... I now would like to construct something a little more able to reach the parts most campervans cannot, and I've been think pretty seriously about the FC101 ambulance. It seems that I can purchase an ex-military vehicle in the UK, originally manufactured in '72 (???) for about 5000 pounds sterling, but what would I then be letting myself in for? All comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks. Lester. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lester Gilbert l.gilbert@cant.ac.uk ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960208 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

14MPG; less that saluibrious front seats; panoramic views; practically unstoppable
driving; oodles of space in the rear....

]From: jve@phaseone.dk Date: Thu, 08 Feb 96 10:43:02 Subject: Re: 4 cyl. engines vs. the v8's Hi Hank. I have my second series III 109 STW with a 2.25 litre petrol engine in it. I have tried driving a brand new V8 once, but only for a short ride in a military practice area. It was enough time to make me love that engine though. The 2.25 litre engine is a no-nonsense engine built of the parts that make a petrol engine run and nothing else. It is not very powerful but very sturdy and will take the car through anything, but not neccesarily very fast. It has done so for quite some time now. I'll advise you like this: If you want power, go for a V8. If you plan on making repairs yourself and you're not a wizard when it comes to motor theory, go for the straight 4 (that's what I do). If you plan on making repairs yourself and you're a wizard when it comes to motor theory, go for the V8. If you have your car repaired by someone who will charge you for it, well maybe the straight 4 is cheaper, I don't know really. That's my opinion, I hope you can use it. Happy rovering everyone.
