Well at the auction I visited the 29 of februari, the Belgion army sold 2 lot's of 6, 2x4 '88 SIII of 1975 petrol, damaged, rusty, non runners, for 20.000 Bfr.

From: Easton Trevor <Trevor_Easton@dofasco.ca> Subject: Seating tyre beads and TAS press day Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 07:54:00 -0500 Many, many years ago, in the far mists of time the small garage where I worked had a device for seating beads. It was an inflatable tube about 2 inch diameter inside a braided cover. You put the deflated tube around the tyre, circumferentially, tied the ends of the braid together and inlated the tube, this made the braid tighten and the beads of the tyre spread out so that enough of a seal was made to let air put into the tyre blow them into full seating. I've since used the same principle with just a length of rope and a spanish windlass to spread the beads enough to seat them. Always seat the bead then deflate and reinflate especially on tubed tyres where you want to be sure you haven't trapped the tube under a bead. BTW The press day at Toronto Auto Show Media Day was a disappointment for LRC. Due to timing conflicts with several other events a total of 4 members of the press visited to view and ride the Land Rovers. Still we all had fun on the demo track and will enjoy our new Land Rover 50 year shirts.

That's why I like tubes. Just keep patching those patches... (I grew up with "Vulcanizing Shops" scattered all over the countryside, even in the smallest village, one could usually find a shop with an electric iron and some tire levers. The most remote places put pieces of coal in a small iron to heat the tubes for the patch. These shops were identifiable by either a 55gal drum cut in half with water in it to find the leak or half of a rear tractor tyre to do it; no mechanized bead breakers either.

Most tyre shops (and maybe your dealer) do not recommend tubes in tubeless because of problems in using regular tubes. Regular tubes in radial tyres are a no-no. When I went looking for tubes, I was surprised to find that many of the shops didn't know there was a difference between radial and regular tubes. And, the high quality Michelin radial tubes are virtually unobtainable here. (I couldn't even get them from Michelin. Safari Gard is the only place that I found who claimed to have Michelin tubes but they wouldn't sell them to me. I guess they save them for those who buy their tyres.) I have been using no-name radial tubes (from a truck tyre shop) in Radial Rover R/T 215/86R16s for the past year.

What I found odd, on taking off the solenoid, is that the plunger came off the main starter housing very easily, revealing a displaced pin at the very top (between the two holding stubs). Now, being a complete novice to these things, I presume that this little pin is meant to hold on to the starter engagement lever, pulling it to engage the starter pinion. Having slipped out of one of its bearings, it might have come off the lever, and thus been unable to engage the pinion. Does this sound real? Does it make sense? What escapes me is the purpose of the spring operated little cylinder that pushes towards the pin (and engagement lever). Why not just hook the plunger to the lever? What is that cylinder used for? I don't have a parts catalogue yet. Is anybody out there who could supply me with the parts numbers for the plunger and the starter cover band? The latter's rubberish part has pretty much desintegrated. Any more parts I should replace while I'm at it? thanks, Axel ------------------------------[ <- Message 19 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980214 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I know of one local 110 whose owner is treating it like a rare vehicle (which, of course, they are), and he may end up with something that works out as a good investment. On the other hand, a friend of mine recently purchased a used D-110 trade-in from the local Land Rover dealer for about $60K (it sold new for $38K).. It had a little over 30K miles on it from at least two previous owners. It is in excellent condition except the 5-speed manual transmission was going (same problem as the faulty units installed in Discoveries) so the dealer said he would replace it (don't know if that's happened yet).

What cause do most Rover owners agree on? Any >ideas? The Harley Davidson riders in Maine do a huge toy drive... I think >we can help out some people too! I've always felt that adults can either help themselves, or it's too late for them. (Callus, I know, but I've only got so much time and $) so I concentrate on preventing the problem in the first place. That means kids. Toys are good, but perhaps raising money for schools to buy supplies and such... Or orphanages? (My father grew up in a great orphanage -- they really took care of the kids and helped them out.) I spend a fair bit of time and money getting computer stuff into Rachel's classroom, and supporting her and the other teachers at her school. Teachers really work their butts off, too; don't let this "9-to-3-with-summers-off" myth fool you; most teachers (good ones, anyway) are there from 7:30 to 5:30, and they work weekends and summers. Rachel gets to school *before* 7am and almost never leaves before 5, generally 6 or so. Then she goes home and works more. She puts in at least 8 hours on the weekends, and works full-time in the summer. She spends something like $3K or $4K per year on supplies -- because the schools don't provide it. (Every fall, we're at Target at 8am to get the pencil boxes, pencils, crayons, scissors, and so on when they go on sale.) Oops, sorry. </EduRant> Anyway, My first choice is always education. Toys for tots are cool, but stimulate their minds and they'll make their own toys. (We did.) Another, similar option (and not contrary to my first paragraph) is Adult literacy programs. (It's people who are honestly trying to help themselves.) I did that for quite a while too. If you want to hit closer to home, there are lots of environmental orgs that could use the help. My first choice would probably be the Nature Conservancy (in order to prevent land from being developed on, they buy it.) Sierra Club is good, but not always popular with off-highway drivers. Tread Lightly! could be another option. Natural Resources Defence Council(?). I'm sure you could find plenty by searching the web. As for overseas, Rachel's sister-in-law is from the philippines, out in the provinces... Suffice it to say she does not have a very high opinion of those "20-cents-a-day-buys-this-brat-a-hot-dog-and-a-coke" outfits.
