Is there any way to restore and maintain these vehicles without resorting to vendors? Well, of course not. Therefore, some commercial content must be allowed. The obvious question is how much is enough? Already some suggestions for guidelines and limitations have been offered. Should For Sale ads be allowed for vehicles and parts? Only by private individuals? How do you control that? This leads to another question: who gets to be in charge of policing? Are all postings subject to censorship? Or do we continue with the Honor System and hope for the best. Ultimately, the individual must decide whether a posting contains information they seek. If they deal with shammers and dirty dealers in the interest of saving a buck then they will suffer the consequences. Personally I don't find anything offensive in posting ads for vehicles and parts as long as the claims are legitimate. Caveat Emptor. Perhaps the answer is a FOR SALE or SWAP MEET list.

Is there a US specific list? If not, perhaps we should have one... I find the adverts in the UK-LRO list (the only other one I subscribe to) "about right". There is at least one dealer/parts supplier who is active, but he doesn't openly advertise unless asked for prices,etc. People also discuss good/bad people,where to get parts from,etc. Or "I've got a spare widget" - anyone want it? The only reason I'm saying this, is that I find that near-enough *all* the adverts on the main Land-Rover list are not relevant to me - because they're in the US! This is whether they're private or commercial ads!

Any free helpful advice? Keep it clean, not blatant ads and wastes of space... we'll all respect that, no rules or other lists needed... unless we are just out for CASH, then clashes happen. And as you can see by Sean Sinkholes post...the system will clean itself! See ya! Nice slam to the rest of us though. As for not standing up and saying it to them, well...I never said this before, as I thougth it would offend some of you on the list who were singing RT's praises...but now I don't care. In my personal opinion Sean and RT, as I'm sure you are still lurking... I think you suck! Blasting a good 40 percent of the North American Rover crowd is not a good move, and if you feel the need to blast the list, it obviously points to the fact that you are out to profit from these people ONLY, not take part in heated debates, or calm conversations, and sometimes even really funny subjects. Your repeated late SIII imports are not legal by US laws *no matter what bullshit chassis change you think gets you by the DOT laws*, and you are obviously not looking for a club or anything else but money and sales, and the need to tell people what they want to hear in order to separate them from their paychecks! Truly good and helpful companies like Rovers North and all the others will always prevail due to the fact that just like everyone here at ECR, we were all ROVER FANS and OWNERS, long before any company came about! Not just a good way to make a buck, actually running a Rover company is a big time money hungry beast, looking for quick cash from suckers.. try junk bonds or something. Rover crowds are political, and we do talk about everyone... that is because it is a very small and tight group, a long distance connection of owning and fixing Rovers! Geez, I think I met or at least saw just about all the Rovers in the Eastern North America at our Off Road day and the DownEast rally!! A great bunch I thought. So take your blasting and go look for a bunch of idiots who have no clue to make money off. SEE YA! That is my view!

For sale: Land Rover Genuine Parts SIII Severed Horse Head Gaiter Kit -$1295 new in box For those not "in the know", this item was available originally for those unfortunate 'Landy' owners who used their 'vehicles' to pull a horse trailer. In the event that the trailer turned over on a muddy track, it wasn't uncommon for the poor horse's head to become severed. If the trailer was destroyed, as was often the case, the horse would have to be dragged through the mud as there was just no room inside the truck. Also there would be no way to tie it to the bonnet because of the spare tyre. So the gaiter kit would cover the neck stump and the entire severed head, keeping mud and other trail grit from entering the exposed fleshy areas and causing permanent damage. Once back into civilization the preserved head could be reattached. The gaiter kit will store nicely in the top section of your ARB locker...BTW these are no longer available legally in the US, so this one has been relabeled as a Series II item. Don't call Lanny.

If you're going to do any serious disposal work (mobsters are difficult because of the lead particles, for example), then you really need to fit your Rover with a 1-Ton Hi-Cap Rover transfer case and the T-case driven PTO.

The heavy use mine's received here in WI (trying to keep down the deer population since no-one will hunt does) has convinced me that as soon as I get my Perkins installed I'll be converting it to hydraulic power (the 4-203 has a timming case mount for a pump). That way I can automaticly add a bit of oil as it comes out so it doesn't stick to the manifold when cooking. Dixon, I can convert yours for you.

If you're going to go full gonzo and see how high you can get the mud line on your D90, you might want two. Th book "Land Rover Experience" details some pretty elaborate setups in order to spread the strain of a pull over the entire chassis...setups that require an attachment to both chassis rails.

We all remember, of course, the most popular upgrade from that was good ol part# LRI88L, the Land Rover Crankcase Beer Batterer.

You don't need to completely split it, just cut a wedge in it which will loosen it enough for you to take channel-locks and work it off. When installing the new races, use a section of soft pipe, the old race, or something else to make sure you don't dent or gouge the surface of the race on which the seal rides, which unfortunately is the same surface that you would want to whack on to drive the race down the stub. You might as well check the hub bearings while you have things apart. When reassembling, remember the hub is not supposed to be completely stuffed with grease. Instead, the felt washer is meant to allow oil from the swivel housing to seep into the hub. I packed the bearings with grease though, since I wasn't sure how long it would take for oil to seep through. You might want to check for play in the swivel bushes before you disassemble everything. If you have play, you might well replace the swivel bushes and swivel pins because it is such a pain to take all that apart again later. Finally, don't tighten the hub nuts excessively, or you'll overtighten the bearings. ------------------------------[ <- Message 48 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960801 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

If used, you'll need to check the specifics on Canadian importation rules. I gather that they are less restrictive than the US rules; I think somebody up there (Dixon perhaps) cited the 18 year rule. Here it's 25 years. If you are thinking about a new vehicle, rumor has it that Solihull won't allow the delivery of US Specification vehicles in the UK. One can speculate as to the reason(s), but so far that has been the consistent reading. A couple of days ago I sent some email to a London dealer who maintains a Home Page and offers UK delivery of export models for temporary use in the UK. So far no response. I did specify US Spec, so you may want to contact them regarding Canadian vehicles. If your interested I can dig up the address.

I dont think this is quite right Dixon.What at first appears to be an oil cooler,is,in fact a tallow seperator.It should be plumbed in such that the tallow is pumped into the gearbox.The mil gearbox was designed as a total loss tallow lubricating system(there were,in effect no oil seals,which helped availability in combat situations,such as MP patrols in Colchester on Saturday evenings)and this box had plain bearings. It is not advisable to try to fit the mil sump and tallowpot to civvy vehicles without the tallow lubed box.

It is also worth noting that for winches fitted to Land Rovers, single line pulls in excess of 5000lb are not recommended by LR ltd in their 'Winching in Safety' manual. If the load is going to exceed this figure, then a snatch block should be used. Tom ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas D.I.

There is also a difference between a "Company ID" and an "Individual ID" (who also happens to be {self-}employed) What I don't like is a weekly posting of "Company X has the following vehicles in stock..." I see no problems with a vendor informing people of a one-off, ie - that they have a rare vehicle for sale or just taken in a large batch from a distributor. Nor do I see a problem with a private sale being advertised. > I have no problem with replies like the "forest 4X4" ones, as they are > offering genuine help, even if they occaisionally slip in the "well I > have just such a part in stock" type comments. This is helpful stuff! These guys are giving away free info, based on experience - just like we all did two years ago. I also remember people saying "I have X, Y and Z for sale, phone me for more details" what's the difference? ----** Ian Stuart (Computing Officer) +44 31 650 6205 Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh University. <http://www.vet.ed.ac.uk/> or <http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~kiz/> Quote of 1996: "A.L.S. is a good example of scottishissityness" ------------------------------[ <- Message 61 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960801 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
