I hope no one minds if I take a little bandwidth to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I've been hanging out on these lists for well over 2 years.... as long as I've
owned the '95 Discovery "Great White".   The IIA  (Soldado Sangrando) came
along about 14 months ago followed by the XD (no name but considering "Crash"
due to my wife's driving habits).  My wallet contains less money than before
the addiction but I find that I'm far richer for having met you folks proving
once again that it isn't the hobby but rather the people you meet through the
hobby!  The LR's are the icing!  

So... from the *warm* deserts of Arizona, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dave, I just went to the local auto parts store and bought individual leads
in the right lengths and with appropriate ends for the distributor in my
Rangie i.e. some straight ends and some 90 deg bend ends.  Don't worry
about getting a pack made up for any particular car.  The leads come in a
variety of lengths (and colours).

Nice move !! On reading your note i did exactly the same as you , even
though some of the US stuff has been of interest and use. The sales
certainly un-obtainable.

Location, location, location. Please let us know where you are located
(and a phone # would be nice) when you are selling something or looking to
buy some big heavy lump. There's alot of stuff that is just not worth
the time and trouble to ship from New Zealand to South Africa. Or even
Boston to Miami. This is an international list. Just a suggestion.

Subject: pos ground fuel sender resistance

the problem with having a Land-Rover that has neither a working fuel gauge
nor speedometer is that it is quite easy to forget when to put petrol in
the damn thing.   I have a collection slightly used fuel senders (they
came with the Rover, I wouldn't do this...) one or more of which might be
good.  It looks as though the fuel gauge just measures the resistance of
the sender and deflects appropiately.  What I need to know is what the
correct values are, so I can figure out which of the spare senders works.  

thanks,

David

(It is very embarassing to run out of fuel waiting to turn into the petrol
station.)

Agreed in part. It won't tell you everything, fine, but with a 300 Tdi the most 
likely cause of disaster is a leaking crankshaft seal, and I would have found it most 
usefull to be able to check whether or not the belt was contaminated without 
dismantling the front of the engine. 

The total failure of a pristine-looking belt is another issue, and one which has not 
affected any Td or Tdi owners here. When someone has the problem, the belt they show 
me is largely toothless, and I am talking about a means of checking on this. 

The early 300 also had a problem whereby the injection pump was not mounted at 
exactly 90 degrees to the housing and caused the belt to disintegrate too soon. This 
was a factory notification to dealers that I was fortunate to see.  The resultant 
flying rubber dust would also be evident via a panel.

At around 25 quid for a belt, how would its life over a few years decide when to go 
for a 500 - 700 quid ( parts or parts + fitting) alternative?

A - still considering Zeus but not decided yet -S

  Here's a Christmas joke, hope you like it..

Subject:       You thought your checkrides were tough...

Santa's Checkride

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal
Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when
the FAA examiner arrived.

In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the
reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork
was in order.

The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer
harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly
reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's
enormous payload.

Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in, fastened
his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the
examiner hopped in, carrying to Santa's surprise, a shotgun.

"What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously.

The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this,
but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."
