Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 08:38:22 -0500 From: The Richards <smrm@coastalnet.com> Subject: Thanks Thanks for the replies to Brain Picking. One thing I know for sure is that I need to pick up a book detailing Series variations (I'm too mentally slow for the FAQ to sink in -- I'll need to read and ponder, read and ponder). Having been around the British car scene for lo these many years the general impression has always been that Minis and Land Rovers share a single trait, dime-a-dozen in Britian, rare and $$$ in the states. Basically I'm looking for something I can use like a small truck, runs to garden nurseries, carting about small appliances like TVs or computers etc.. A vehicle that doesn't mind my border collie drooling down the side whilst her head is sticking out the window (herding other cars no doubt). And a vehicle that looks just as good if not better unwashed. Any number of American trucks would do the job, but in the state THEY are a dime a dozen and boring. And you can't turn a corner without bumping into a Jeep (unlike most of you, I love Jeeps, but can't stand to see my twin every three minutes). I would assume that in the way that the Interceptor loves sweeping curves and has an appetite for BMWs, and the MGB desires switchbacks, the Land Rover would want to taste the dirt from time to time -- I want something with a soul, now if only I can bring location, $$, and the right vehicle together. . . Thanks again. Michael, New Bern, NC ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 961229 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: Deezilbob@aol.com Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 10:31:48 -0500 Subject: u-joint and u.p.s. as for the u-joint, there are two sizes for the prop shafts on series vehicles. the reference i mentioned to the 57' chevy is for the larger size (3 1/4") which i believe is fitted to post 65' vehicles. i have a spicer 5-153x that i use. as for u.p.s., i deliver and pick-up lots of international packages everyday on my route, not many problems at all. the expedited is the cheapest way to go. to ship packages, there HAS to be an invoice that has 1. the date of the shipment 2. description of yhe contents 3. VALUE 4. and a signature of the shipper. without these 4 items on an invoice your package will be delayed or returned. there HAS to be 3 copies of the invoice in a pouch, (envelope) on the outside of the package. this is a customs requirement, before there was an income tax, i believe the government operated solely off of revenues collected on imported goods. as for drivers not locating addresses, i get lots of packages with bad ad's every day, only after 19 years on the same route do i know where most, not all of them go......rgds ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 961229 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Also people treat 4X4s differently and rougher which also leads to increased wear. As an owner of multiple British cars (No rice burners for me thanks), I have noticed that the Land Rover requires more maintenence than the others. I sold off my MGBGT because I was having a hard time keeping it, and the Land Rover on the road while restoring my TR3 (Also I suspect the MG & Triumph were arguing too much) Looking at your anticipated uses, may I also suggest that you look at the Morris Minor. It had a pickup version and a woodie station wagon version, both of which sould meet your needs as well, be less thirsty and still unique in the parking lot. Also an MGBGT holds 2 bales of hay on edge so should have no problem with garden supplies like bags of fertilizer, flats of plants & such. Your dog probably wouldn't do any damage to the carpets. There are interesting British car alternatives to a Land Rover that would meet your stated needs, be far easier on petrol and require less maintenence.

Date: Sat, 28 Dec 1996 08:25:12 -0800 From: twakeman@scruznet.com (TeriAnn Wakeman) Subject: Re: Stainless Steel grilles for a D90 So go to a stainless steel fabricator, plastic grill in hand and ask how much it would cost to make one from stainless. Have you thought of having someone duplicate a stage one grill. While you are at it you can remove the body edge cappings and get them galzanized along with the windscreen frame. You can replace them funny green Land Rover badges with proper black and silver badges. The end result is most handsome.

G'day folks, Perhaps someone could enlighten those of us who live in warmer climes and only see snow in travel brochures. What the dickens is a kodiak heater: A: A heater that is so good that it is capable of blistering the paint on the inside of the footwells? B: A heater that (bearly) works? C: None of the above?

I am also > interested in the 3.9 Nissan diesel, as mentioned in the recent posting. I have put a LD28 Nissan motor in a SeriesIII LWB but would not recommend it to anyone else. The radiator had to be moved forward and the engine mounts repositioned as well as the oil filter needing to be remoted due to the front axle hitting it. Once that was sorted out the changeover went OK (it was a petrol motor that we were replacing)but what a noise the thing makes!!!! You thought rover motors were noisy but the Nissan diesel revs its guts out and you get no increase in speed. If you want to put a diesel motor in find a rover motor before a Nissan.
