Reply-To: [email-masked]

Sorry... I've come in a bit late on this mail thread (just been so busy for the last couple 
of weeks that I haven't had the time to check the list) but, if the odd lister wants to 
send money to private individuals in the uk by credit card then perhaps I can help.

If you want my (our) company can accept the credit card payment and then forward 
on a cheque to the individual. All I would ask is that all our costs are covered e.g. our 
bank charges 2.5% surcharge on credit card transactions plus the excahnge rate as 
charged by our bank is applied (normally this will be a better than the tourist rate). Not 
after making anything on the deal... just trying to be friendly :-)

Subject: [lro] Help on SIII water temperature sensor please?
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hi Guys, 

I need some expert advice. 

I've just done an engine change on my 1975 SIII 88 (24 V, ex military,  2.25 petrol engine). 

The replacement engine was a 12 V civilian engine, but I changed all that was necessary to make 
it fit. 

The engine block water temperature sensor didn't fit (well, a lot of things didn't fit, but this one is 
the last remaining problem). In the old engine there's a retaining ring inside the screw bore; this 
isn't there in the new engine so the sensor just falls inwards. 

I've temporarily glued the sensor to the nut, which now holds it in place, but I had to cut the lead to 
get enough free movement. 

I now have a replacement sensor, but this is an NTC resistor (the old sensor was a bimetal 
thermistor). So, can I connect this to the existing gauge in the instrument panel? or will I have to 
get a new gauge? If I get a new gauge, will my fuel gauge still work? What voltage do I need to 
supply to the sensor and where do I get it from (this would now be a 12 V sensor in a 24 V 
system)?     

Any advice is much appreciated!

For what it's worth. You might consider joining "The Birmabright
Brotherhood". See http://www.hwcn.org/ag278/BBLIst.htm or visit
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/birmabright

    Any input from the masses? Do I need my head examined? Thanks to those
who have already given input. (!) Are there any oasis of spare parts just in
case? I plan on roughing it as much as possible, even though the camping
season is over. Any neat places to stay? Sites to see? Roadside diners to
try? Rover folk to stop and see for a quick coffee and share in my photo
album? Might there be a trials event going on? World's Largest Ball of
String?

Subject: [lro] Re: lro kid seats
Reply-To: [email-masked]

I have installed two forward facing rear seats in my 88.  They have 3
point seat belts (old 110 I think) attached to the hardtop, seat box
(with a spreader plate) and seat frame (so the belt swings out of the
way with the seat).  The seat bolts to the floor using a spreader plate
and captive nuts under the tub and to the seatbox. I think I need to
further brace the seat frame. I'm not sure how safe is this setup (the
main worry is the belt attached to the seat frame which might not be
strong enough).  So far the main use has been off road (for some reason
the family disdains the 88 for other travel...).  The main problem is
actually getting into the seats since I have a tailgate/liftgate on the
hardtop (the favorite way at the moment is via the front seats - but for
adults it's quite a struggle).  I can post pictures if it would help.

The Wrangler rear seat will fit inside the rear tub.  You will need to build
some feet for it if you want someone taller then 2' to sit back there.  You
could just run some angle iron, side to side, accross the top of the tubs if
you dont care if it still folds forward.  Wrangler front seats will also fit
The Suzuki will also fit, but haven't actually done it so not sure whats
involved.

Encountered our first snow last week at "the Thornbury Thrashabout". Cold
enough in the hills to stick and dust the trees nicely. Not enough to affect
traction on the trails though. Except for those who got stuck, eh Bill. Was
that the mud or did you just not want to show Glen up?

Subject: [lro] John Cranfield update - 11/07
Reply-To: [email-masked]

John Cranfield went through surgery very well yesterday, and is feeling
good.  The doctor found that the damage to his eye was far more extensive
then he could have imagined, and will not be able to save the sight.  He
will have a CAT scan tomorrow and they will make decisions about how to fix
the bone damage.  John must now decide if he wants the eye removed and have
a prosthesis or leave things as they are.

I just spoke to John, he would love to talk to people now, and have
visitors.  He said his brain is finally back on track and he's ready for a
little social interaction.  If anyone would like to touch base with him, you
can contact me for the name of the hospital and his room number.

Peter and Julie,

I do not know John personally, but I can say that over the last 18 months of
owning my 1960 Series II, John has been extremely kind and generous on more
than one occasion in helping me climb the Rover learning curve.  Please
convey to him my deepest sympathies and best wishes for a speedy and
positive recovery.

All the best,

Rich Williams

Subject: [lro] John Cranfield chainletter
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hi gang,

I've started circulating a chainletter for John Cranfield. I've sent it to a
few people, these people will pass it on, etc, until we get most everyone's
name signed on, then I'll pass it on to John himself.

I would like to keep this letter off the list because if everyone gets a
copy, it will never accumulate enough names - I think passing it on between
each other will be best, and I am curious to see how many people think of
John as a friend - something tells me I'm in for a large number of names.

If you are relatively isolated - IE don't think someone will send a
circulating copy of the letter, please simply post that you want a copy, and
I, or someone else, will send it to you. Please sign only one copy you get -
you probably will get multiple copies of it. I'll sort through them all
after the letter has circulated for a while, and make one mother list of all
names and entries.

John Cranfield, if you are reading this, please de-read it quickly and
forget about it. It's supposed to be a surprise.

thanks,

J-L
