SIII gearbox (2,25 diesel) hops out of 4th gear when driving at "high"
speed (75 - 90 kph) - no funny noises from box, not grinding and
gnashing of gearwheel teeth, no other symptoms, just unexplained
disengagement. Any idea anyone? Is this a worn selector fork or a weak
detent spring? (Or do I really have to pull that box out again?)

inspiration and words of mechanical consolation welcome!

I strongly second Steve Bradke's recommendation for KROIL.  This is some of
the best stuff I have used.  If anyone in the Washington DC area is looking
for some there is one place I know of that sells it retail.  They are a
Volks#$%^n shop in Lanham/Seabrook area called Peak Performance.  If you
order it by mail they gave me a good special which includes 1 gallon, plus
an oil can, and 1 spray can for a pretty good price.

Actually, the main TUCOWS (The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Shareware)
site is (I think) <http://www.tucows.com/>, from which you can get to a
local (as in the netherlands(?) site above) mirror site.  And I agree,
TUCOWS is great.

	Nifty sports car built by Lotus starting about 1970 (???
someone correct me on this ???).  Two-seater mid-engine.  All models
until '98 ('97???) had a 2.2 (???) litre 4-banger.  Now some sort of
v-8.  Originally carburetted, then fuel-injected, then turbo-charged,
then...  I think the last year of the 4-banger, the 2.2l was making in
the neighborhood of 300bhp.  Lotuses had/have the usual British sports
car problems, but are tremendously fun to drive.  They sport a number
of nifty engineering tricks (Lotus has one of the best automotive
engineering groups in the world, IMHO), many of which are still not in
common use anywere else.  They were an early adopter of multi-cam
motors and more than 2 valves/cylinder.  They also used (at least on
the Espirit) a backbone chassis (almost identical to the DeLorean,
which Lotus designed under contract) and inboard brakes (like the
Hummer and some old Jags).  My favorite feature of the old carburetted
Espirits is a tendency for the mixture to seriously lean out
(resulting in loss of power and/or melted pistons) under extremely
hard cornering.  A neat, fun car, but not a daily driver. ;-)

Very good.  A few corrections would be.... started being produced in
'76-'77 and originally had a 2.0 liter until the Series 2.2 (imagine
that) and became turbo in 80 (UK) 83 (US) then fuel injected in 86 (US).
A lot of fun to be sure, and certainly one of the best looking cars for
the dollar in the world.  Especially in screaming yellow. ;-)  My car is
the 118th off the line, but a few improvements by yours truly (like a
much bigger radiator and turbo style motor mounts) make it a much better
car.  I'm working on the carb problem.

Would anyone happen to know if there is a aerosol spray can paint that is
anywhere near Limestone?  I have some touchups to do.

Hi Rick,

A buddy of mine had a Limestone coloured SWB.

About 5 years ago he picked up a can of touch up paint at Canadian 
Tire that was almost a perfect match.

Don't know any more details but they may still stock it...

Seems I am just overreacting. Normal paranoia (is that correct?) after buyers
remorse, gearbox taking a dump, engine throwing rod thru block, failed
install of 3.0... etc... etc.

I guess she really is fine!

Thanks for all the input.

The closest match I,ve seen to Limestone at Canadian Tire is the
Tremclad Recreational White. Is close, but some batches match better
then others.

Thanks Brett, just ran out and bought a can and it's pretty good.  The old
proverbial man-on-a-galloping-horse won't notice a thing --- especially when
you consider everything else that's been bodged and bunged up on the poor beast.

Subject: Tires for 88"

Hi guys. I'm starting my restoration of Kinabalu. All the bits have come
in from England and I'm going to need your help figuring out where
everything goes.

First question:
I've just unpacked the new 5.5" x 16" x 33" rims. What do you guys
suggest for tires i.e. size,type and make. I will be driving the truck
winter and summer and don't want to change each season. I can live with
lots of road noise, that's no problem. I want good grip as I live in the
Laurentians and we get TONS of snow. I also want to be able to do the
odd bit of off road with the OVLR guys and their fancy winches! I'll
also be humming down the highway doing the odd 300 - 400km stretch going
to things like the Birthday party, Stowe, etc. I've heard good things
about the BF Goodrich TracEdge. What size should I look for? Any
problems with clearance with 7.50 x 16" on my 88"? Any tips?
