Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 20:52:08 +0800 From: "O Z Z I E H E R N A E Z" <ozzieh@skyinet.net> Subject: Land Rovers in P.I It has been almost half a year since Land Rovers returned to the Philippine Islands. So far in Cebu anyway the Discovery TDI seems to have much better sales record than the Defender 90 and 110 TDI. All because of one important aspect , it has a better stereo ???. The defenders did not have a good stereo , and even if they had diesel engines ( 75 cents/gal.) that did not sway the buyers, especially if you cannot substitute used Japanese parts into it. Alfa Romeo cars are here also with zero buyers, because they are not diesel , and can't use recyled japanese parts on them. At least they would not have to suffer from coolant deprivation and having their thermostats extracted. Not all is lost the European Union has three land rovers in Cebu , 1996 Defender 110 TDI's all performing flawlessly with parts delivered from England within a week tax free. I think they still have their thermostats because the European team manages them.

Subject: Re: 50th anniversary
Well, I understand that Land Rover will be the featured marque at the
Portland All British field meet on the labour day weekend. I would
definitly budget for that.
I recently went fourwheeling in the bottom of canyon de chelly. Its not
challanging, but It's about the most senic four wheeling I have seen. If
you pay a guide, you can camp in the canyon overnight.
Capitol Reef has a jeep trail going its length that I didn't have time to
checkout.
How about a trip where one spends 2 full days plus one night at the bottom
of Canyon de chelly, spent one day in Arches, and a day or two doing the
length of Capitol reef?
Say a week & a half trip????

Thank John Putnam ---------- From: asanna Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 1997 7:16 AM Subject: Re: Frosting Weber carbs My '70 IIa was plagued with a frosty Weber for a while, but Doug Shipman, in Portland, made an ingenious little low-tech carb heater for me by tapping the exhaust header and running a heater pipe up to the carb. Years ago I replaced the exhaust manifold with headers. The original Rover arrangement that sandwiched the exhaust and intake manifolds transferred heat to the carb, and the Rochester that I had on at the time I put the headers on didn't seem to suffer from the lack of heat when I made the switch, but the Weber was much more sensitive to icing.

This place is a 3 hour drive from me, and I have yet to do this. How much does a guide cost? > Capitol Reef has a jeep trail going its length that I didn't have time to > checkout. There are two parts to this trail. About a third of it is north of the main east-west hwy through the park, and the rest is south. We have done the north part. It was wonderful! We camped on BLM land just outside the park, on a badlands area. It was the only time in my life I have experienced complete and utter silence. No wind, no leaves rustling. Kind of eerie. There are cathedral rocks, the big anticline that makes the 'reef', lava dycks, and no people. We saw noone for two days. > How about a trip where one spends 2 full days plus one night at the bottom > of Canyon de chelly, spent one day in Arches, and a day or two doing the > length of Capitol reef?

Jon You dont say whether this is a 2.5 turbo,or N/A. Does it use a lot of oil? If it were me,going on the "Try the cheapest option first"method, I'd have the injectors looked at,and possibly the pump timing set up.You could also try using City Diesel(low sulphur stuff) from Sainsbury if you can get it.However,there *are* indications that this is deficient in fuel system lubrication properties.I should add, I use the stuff,but am about to send off for some Redline 85 Plus additive to combat this.Not a plug,but I've used it before,and I'm convinced it works.
