	Your wiring too eh... :-)  This year we have Wade, Quintin... all
joining the black instrument panel club!  Actually, a black instrument
panel denotes the beginning of the end.  First covering up for shoddy
wiring and future electrical fires when they sucuumbed to that fad of
earthing things negatively.  It was then a repressed haterid for the
customer by changing the dash from safe, black painted steel, to unsafe,
flamable plastic.  The eventual switch to coil suspension was to help lull
you to sleep by offering comfort while driving.

Sorry to hear about the sudden and expected death of your gearbox. The 
suffix A started with the IIA, so if there is no letter it might well be the 
original box, or an early one anyway. No idea what the rebuilding 
possibilities are, sorry to say.

I'm curious to know why a neg earth vehicle would be more susceptible to
electrical fires that pos earth ones?

Subject: Sll door lock?

My Sll does not have locks on the front doors but there is one on the rear.
Since I never leave it parked alone, the installation of locks has never
been a priority.  But today I noticed for the first time in two years that
there are internal levers that allow one to lock the doors from the inside.
Apart from helping to stop the doors fly open when cornering I can't see
much point in them.  Are they part of what would be some sort of aftersale
bolt-on external lock tumbler?

Subject: 16" Series Rim

I have a set of 16" x 7.50 rims from a 109" and one of them looks
different than the rest.They all have the numbers 272309 stamped on them 
so I'd assume they're identical.The odd wheel is about a 1/2" shallower 
(offset towards the outside of the rim)all but this one are stamped with
the date(68) 
Just curious why one wheel would be so much different.I'm sure it's from 
another truck and probably an earlier one.(stamped number is much
smaller)Any thoughts?

	Because... er, principle!  You are distorting the jihad with facts

Well the curse must be working.  Not half an hour ago I managed to cross
thread and strip a brake bleed nipple.  Now I've got fluid trickling down
the driveway into the gutter.  This means of course that when I do finally
get a new cylinder unit in I'm going to have to screw around all over again
bleeding the stupid CB cylinder.  Dumb curse!

Subject: coolant loss
Date: Sat, 2 Aug 1997 22:29:32 -0400

HELP!  Here's the problem.  LR in question is a SIII with 2.25 gas engine.
I'm loosing about a half gallon of coolant every 200 - 300 miles.  I've
checked all connections, hoses, etc.  No apparent leak in the radiator and
the exhaust doesn't smell of anti-freeze.   No sign of water in the oil. 
Where is it going???   When the engine is cold I notice a thick oily film
on the top of the coolant in the radiator.  Any ideas?  All help
appreciated.

 the 272309 rims should be 5.5" wide x16 diameter, unless they have been
 cut and widened to 7.5".  the 5.5x16's usually had 7.5x16 tires on them.
 In North America 5.5x16 rims now are sold as part number NRC7578 and run
 LT235/85R16 tires, the closest metric equivalent to 7.5x16's.  Before
 the introduction of 5.5" wide rims, the standard rim was 5x16, which may
 well be the odd rim you have.  Where are you located at in Canada?

If the S II setup is anything like the later S I system, there would have 
been an option to have a lock at the driver's door, which of course is 
always the right-hand door since lhd vehicles are aberrations; in order to 
secure the vehicle, the driver would snap the little levers on the other 
doors shut from the inside and then get out and lock the one lock provided. 
(On Station Wagons, the rear door has its own lock). Locking a Series 
Land-Rover is mostly a symbolical act, though.
