Date: Sat, 3 May 1997 08:18:13 -0500 From: eheite@dmv.com (Ned Heite) The following discussion was generated by the Better Half after she perused a few selections from the LRO list: What would have happened if by some chance of fate there had never been Land Rovers? Y'know, there is a neurological disorder related to autism and idiot savant, in which the sufferer sees the entire world in terms of his/her obsession. It is called "Asperger's syndrome". As an example, a person with this syndrome, whose obsession is snakes, would pick up a key and comment on how the toothed edge resembled a snake's writhing. Then you might get a lecture on snakes, or on writhing. It would continue whether the listener responded or not, and regardless of the response. Similarly, an Asperger's person obsessed with a certain type of vehicle would go on at length at every turn about that vehicle. He could not see anything with wheels, or anything roughly the same shape as the vehicle, that did not bring on a detailed discussion of the subject of his obsession. A corvair fancier would see vehicles in every raindrop. Another might see fenders in every rectangle, it is somewhat random what the subject of the obsession is. His waking and sleeping hours would be devoted to the vehicle, at the expense of more meaningful human attachments - possibly because these people find it impossible to form attachments, or to express the give part of give and take except in terms of emptying their own mind into the available receptacles. They tend to make poor friends, and to neglect other aspects of their lives. That of course is irrelevant. ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970504 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

[ truncated by list-digester (was 7 lines)] >The motor does not seem to be leaking any oil as my drive way is >always dry. The V-8 in my 1991 Range Rover used a quart every 1,500 miles or so when it was new. After about 20K miles, the consumption dropped to a quart every 3K miles, which is when I change the oil and filter. The vehicle now has 81K miles on it and still uses about a quart, maybe a little bit more, every 3K miles. Using a quart every 200-250 miles without an oil leak somewhere sounds like trouble to me. Make sure the external oil pump housing is firmly bolted down and that the oil filter mount is also firmly screwed in. ________________________ C.

So far >my engine hardly leaks, I don't want to ruin my good luck!! Don't switch. My BMW mechanic tells me that switching an engine that has been run for some time on non-synthetic oil to synthetic oil can create the most amazing oil leaks from every joint and seam in the engine. Unless you run your engine VERY hard, or tow a heavy boat or trailer, you'll experience no benefit from switching to synthetics other than higher cost. If you use a reputable brand on non-sythetic oil and change it and the oil filter every 3K miles regardless of what the owner's manual, Consumer Reports, or anyone else tells you, you'll get the maximum life from your engine, all else being equal. I have run my Series III-88 on Castrol since I bought the vehicle new in 1973. When we finally did an engine rebuild at 120K-plus miles due to a burned exhaust valve, the mechanic who did the work was amazed when he took my engine apart. He said the crank and cam bearings, and the camshaft itself, looked like they'd been barely broken in, the wear was so minimal. All I did was drive it sensibly and change the oil and filter every 3K miles. ________________________ C.

The only way a military Land Rover ever gets even close to shiny paint is the semi-annual "rubdown" of diesel fuel ;-). What I dont believe about your above statement though is the use of the "chr" word in reference to a mil-spec LR. On my 109 (ex-RAF) the only thing that "shines" are the headlights :-))). Two colors, Nato IRR Green and flat black (although I was tempted once to add flat brown to my paint chest ;-) ).

Subject: Odd sighting
Went skiing at Lake Louise today and saw the most interesting 110 in the
parking lot. It had U.K. plates, decals and stickers from what seems to be
every auto club in south America, a really impressive snorkel, beast of a
winch, and enough shovels and things strapped to it that it looked like a
moving digger's shop.
Looks like someone is off on a world trip -- any idea who?
BTW -- the skiing is still terrific.
