Beautiful downtown Oshawa? Isn't that where the Hell's Angels hang out? 
Handy the corner of Bond and Simcoe?

Durham RP will chase any kid swilling beer in a '62 Chev convertible on

Some other cars can still be brought in this way. They are on the DOT "good

Hi All.

I've been really busy at work lately, and haven't managed much in the way of 
Rovering...

Thought you all might like this.

Q:  How many list subscribers does it take to change a light bulb?

A:	1,331:

1 to change the light bulb and to post to the mail list that the light bulb
has been changed.

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently.

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light
bulbs.

53 to flame the spell checkers

156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb
discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list.

41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please take
this email exchange to alt.light.bulb

203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and
alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.

111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use lightbulbs
and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list.

306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to
buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this
technique, and what brands are faulty.

27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post corrected URLs.

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this
list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.

33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote them including all headers
and footers, and then add "Me Too."

12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversey.

19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

1 to propose new alt.change.light.bulb newsgroup. 47 to say this is just
what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for, leave it here.

143 votes for alt.lite.bulb.

Subject: Sighting, and blobs hanging off bottoms

Saw a cartoon of a series Rover (IIa, as closely as the cartoon was
drawn) on a program called "AAAAGH! Real Monsters" on Nickelodeon. Was
driven by an Aussie who was helping to hunt down a monster.  Wonder how
this compares to the Johnny Quest cartoon rover sighting?

Ron, are you suggesting that Wales is a Dingleberry? And have you ever
noticed that you never see migrant workers picking dingleberries?

SWMBO sounds like a good name for a Land Rover.    Could be pronounced as
though it contained another vowel.  Has a distinctly Deep South kinda sound to
it though. (read Deep North for OZ readers).

Subject: 2.5 four cyl where a 2.6 six cyl was

Yeah, I know! A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence (or a phrase)
with.
I just finished putting a late 2.5 Rover motor into a 72 series IIa which had
a very tired 2.6.
Here are the highlights.
The bellhousings were different, so I had to swap in one from a series three
trans. The truck already had a series three gearbox in it anyway. The holes
in the bellhousing had to be reamed for the larger 10mm studs on the 2.5, and
the clutch from the six worked fine. The used clutch on the used, but 'ready
to go!" (where have we heard *that* before?) engine was seized by rust to the
pressure plate; what friction material wasn't on the other side of the
flywheel, that is. Twenty-something splined anyway.
The engine sits about four inches (100 mm for y'all in the EU) further back.
By using the brackets that came on the 2.5, I was able to cut the old mount
off the frame on that side, and weld it back on a few inches back. On the
left side, I cut a frame mount out of a well and truly rusted exMOD frame on
the treasure trove o' scrap parts. Cleaned it up and welded it on, by
clamping it to the cleaned frame, in place under the mount, with a torpedo
level on the valve cover to keep everything plumb.
Had to cobb together some strange looking hoses to connect the IIa six
radiator to the new mill. That'll work till the owner gets a proper rad made
or ordered from the old country.
Hooked up the throttle linkage by twisting a piece of the six' bracket 90
degrees, placing it under a cable stop, and used a cut down bicycle brake
cable on the cable actuated throttle. Moved the choke cable so it'd reach.
Used VW heater box cable clamps to hold them on.
Wouldn't want to do it again, but owner didn't want a Chevy mill......go
figure.

allong roads in the Yorkshire Dales and had clocked me at 85 miles per hour

Subject: RE:Rear main seal

I also have the rear main seal leaking and it was also leaking about the same 
ammount 3 years ago.

I check the engine oil and top up if necessary but believe me if the engine is 
good it is not worth it to pull the engine out just for the seal.  

There is also another advantage.  When you periodically top up with oil you 
have 
good oil lubricating the engine every time reducing wear and sludge building up.

Hi Tom,

Yes, they are the same, BUT the 109 and 88 are different (I think).
Certainly the pickup rear bodies are. Make sure the donor is from a 109.
Also, you may find that there are some chassis mountings missing from your
chassis, compare it with the donor chassis if you can. Does your SIII have
the petrol tank under the drivers seat or at the rear. I f it is in the
rear then you will have to blank off the fuel filler hole. Good luck with
the swap. What do you plan for the rear body?

Cheers, Graham.

PS. What city are you in?

Subject: Stainless Steel Gauze under carb ??
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 11:44:43 +0200

Hi

My girlfriend met a hunter in Botswana. He had been driving i.e. fixing old
Landies for years. He told her a way to save petrol on a Landie was to put
a stainless steel gauze under the carb.
Was he having her on ?
Is it possible it might help ?
If it did cut down on fuel consumption what would it do to the performance
of my Landie ?

Thanks in advance

Which is rather odd, 'cos both of my email systems (Notes and AMEOL)
recognise HTML tags and use them accordingly, no problem at all. I don't
really like Notes (but getting used to it), and AMEOL is a system-specific
email system, but works well.

So why can't IE do it proper?

What was the gauze supposed to do? If it acted as a heat deflector/absorber to
prevent perculation in the carb I suppose it would have a beneficial effect.
Other than that I really can't imagine what it's going to accomplish.

However if it works please send me a working drawing :->

It can; it just doesn't by default.  I detest HTML encoded mail.  I am
really thinking about writing procmail filters to kill it before i ever
see it.

The FFR solution is to have a box where the cubby box/central seat is.
There's like a sunken hole, in which two 12v batteries fit. There are then
two "frames" which bolt down on them, to hold them in place.
Over this goes the "box". Mines a nice gloss black! :-)
This has two vents, and lies fairly low (slightly raised above the height
of standard issue Series seat cushions). Makes a handy flat surface for
road atlases, lunch, etc!  :-)

My first battery is under the driver's seat, and it has done just fine
there
for a while, now. I'm wondering about where to put the 2nd one. The engine
compartment is not an option, nor a consideration. Probably it will go
under
the passenger's seat.
