Subject: 2.25 ltr Engine Head

Well, I've got the head into the remans yesterday. Having it redone with 
Stelite exhaust valves, guides and hardened seats. The head Part # is 
568750, same as on my oldest fellows 1971. The one on my own 1973 (Pig) 
is not. Under all the grease it looks like a lettered and numbered 
combination.  Both parts manuals for Series IIa and Series III don't 
refer to either. All the other heads I have left have the aforementioned 
head #.  Tell me I'm having the correct head redone!?

Subject: Perkins Diesel (4 cyl) Conversions

     
     I have a friend recently bitten by the bug.  He just purchased a 1969 
     88" diesel SW which has had a Perkins 4cyl diesel conversion put in.  
     He would like to find any literature available on the engine and the 
     conversion process itself.  Any suggestions?
     
     Thanks,
     John

Subject: CB40 details

Hi all,
          I tried to send this last  saturday but the list was lost in
limbo; anyway from the last two day's comments it wasn't just me who
couldn't get thru.If this did appear last week apologies but |I can't tell
so...
Satuaday's UK Daily Telegraph carried the first official LR picture of the
CB40 which is to be launched officially at the Frankfurt Show in September
and will be available in Europe early 1998. Its permanent 4WD and will be
in 3-door and 5-door format with 1.8litre petrol or 2.0litre diesel
engines. a 2.5litre V6 variant will be available on US market 18 months
after Euro launch. The 3-door has a forwrd folding "softback" roof and
targa top, hardtop option available.
The car, which looks like a Toymoter RAV4, is  `aimed at the young at heart
so Lr has given it the unbelievably boring name of ' Freelander'.
Personally I think the name is a marketing disaster, Disco Baby would sell
it, however... The Torygraph says that "The starnge name was the result of
market reseach in Land Rover's target markets around the world,
particularly Germany."
Price range 15,000--20,000 Quids of the Realm.
Kensington hair stylists will love it.
Cheers

Subject: 1994 D90 for Sale

Hello..
        I have just joined the list but unfortunately am selling my much
loved D90.  My University graduation is approaching and I am returning to
Canada.
        I am located in San Diego.  The Rover is a white #214 D90 soft top
with the glass fiber top in place (soft top and Bimini top included) and
just under 60 000 miles.  It has some small off-road dents but is
mechanically perfect with a new clutch and service done.  The Rover is
completely off-road equipped with a custom roof-rack with jack mount and
second spare tire mount, wooden storage boxes on the wheel arches,
mud/terrain tires with roughly 15 000 miles and are as knew, rock sliders,
ARB bull bar with Hella 3000's and Warn 9000 pound winch, tranny/transfer
case cover, Uniden CB, factory A/C, Mantec snorkel and raised
axle/tranny/transfer case breathers.  The 90 has been dealer maintained here
in San Diego using Amsoil synthetic fluids.
        I am asking $22 500.00 for the Land Rover D90 ...

David,

Thanks for the great insight you gave on my LR.  Knowledge of the 
restrictor plates is an especially useful bit of information. I didn't know 
there was a part on my Landie that I could unbolt and throw away 
with a clear conscience.

Cheers,

Well The time has come, I am officially putting Squeak up for sale now.
Hopefully when things get better I will be able to replace her soon.

Just put the engine back together to fix head gasket leak. incl. valve job,
and head surfacing(slight, just to clean up the gasket marks)
It looks/runs great, only has 161,000 miles
I am asking $10,000 which is how much I still owe the credit union.
I've seen them for less, but then you need to do work on(pour money into) them.

	I didn't receive my LRO digest covering 03/19, 20, 21, 22, & spent quite a
bit of time trying to winkle them out of the major without success. The
directions in the various help files didn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me
what happened on those days, send me the missing digests, or explain how to
work with the major to find the missing items.

Does any one have any feed back on the cost and availability of a factory
Workshop
Manual for the TDi Defender 110 wagon? I'm not too worried about price, but
I do want the Land Rover copy. I've heard that the factory manual is OK,
but does not include any wiring diagrams. Any info appreciated.

Subject: Pen Pal Virus
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 11:19:48 +0930

I've just listened to a discussion on our national radio station (Aust ABC)
about the "Pen Pal Virus". It went along the lines that if you got an E
Mail with a subject something like "PEN PALS WANTED" and then you
downloaded it and openned the file, the you would infect your hard drive.
To be fair, the guy being interviwed had not actually had it happen to him,
and could not comment from a personal basis. A caller then rang in and said
that you could only get a virus from an exe file, and e mail was not made
up of exe files.
I am curious to know if this is a real virus, or a hoax virus that breeds
on people like me not knowing what to believe!!!
Any comments?

Subject: Reverting to a generator
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 20:28:07 -0600

Does anyone out there have any advice they would like to share concerning
the retro-fitting of my 1960 Series II with the generator it was originally
outfitted with?  It has an "Autocraft" alternator at the moment which Lord
Lucas has already expressed his displeasure with once last summer:  it
burned up.  Since the previous owner hacked up the original wiring, there
was little recourse other than to go ahead and replace it with another
identical unit for the time being.  I now have a new positive earth loom
which is already set-up for the generator.  I've also been told that all
electrical devices operate much better in positive earth on old LRs such as
mine.  I don't care about a radio/stereo system, a cellular phone or other
"modern" electrical conviences.  So what is the word?  Appreciate the
advice; thanks in advance.   BAW

From: "Keith W. Cooper" <kwcooper@aristotle.net>

I'm looking for a set (4) of "Treadplates" for the tailgate on my 1965 
Series IIA.  They are listed as part number 304874 in my original parts 
manual.  These are the 1 inch wide metal strips that run across the 
inside of the tailgate.  For some reason a few of these are missing and I 
would like to replace them.  I would even be interested in some used ones 
in decent condition from someone's parts rover. They are riveted on with 
the old style hammer rivets.  Let me know if you've got some around.

Thanks,
Keith
