Subject: RE: Winch mount
The UK is the place to get cheaper accessories. I'm going to get my winch
mount over there when there on biz. Full racks for defenders are minimal cost
over there, problem is you have pay to shipping. Most of the time you save $$$
and $1800 for a rack, would be a ton of savings, even with shipping.
What type of rack are you looking for ?

Gosh, Mark, for that much money, I could *almost* buy one of the new LRNA
Roof Rack options for the Defender - I think they're about $1800 - for a
darned roof rack!! We sure have expensive toys!
Hopefully, more accessories will become available that are not so
expensive .....
Best wishes,
David

Thanks David. Your rainage stories are giving me spirit, hope, and desire to
give it a try. I gotta get one o' them hats, too. Actuallly, Barnett needs
one, his D90 is that "in your face" AA YELLOW. Mine is "gimme a ticket"
Red.
Though we got another cold shot here, it was -0.9 deg F last night, spring
is very very very very very close, I can just tell. I can feel it, I can
hope for it, I can imagine it, I can...
John. ("is spring here yet?")

Fuel Economy? I didn't know Land Rovers had that. But after the synthetic
diff switch I simply noticed a very substantial decrease in rolling
resistance at cold temps. And this was my whole reason really. As far as
the engine, I figured the synthetics would get oil thru the engine more
quickly at the low temps, and again, it worked for that too.
John, d90.

John:
This talk of Spring is *infectious* - yesterday it was sunny and in the
50's here - I seriously thought of taking the top of the D90 (mine is "if
it's not garaged, and it is in Seattle, it must be moss" Green). I left
the top on, and today it is....rainy, but still warm. Soon, soon...
I spent *too* much time today working on the '66 Scout. I had the carb.
rebuilt, because it ran so badly, even after new plugs, spark wires, and
the best tune-up I could manage. I added an in-line filter with an old AC
glass sediment bowl, and rented a "double flare" tool. As seems to be
typical, what I thought would take a couple of hours took all day. But,
the thing runs - at least well enough to get me and my bike to the bike
trail for commuting to work.
Best wishes,
David

John,
Hang tough. I know you've been out of the state a while, but if
you think about it , you'll rember that Wisconsin has a way of
making longing for spring feel like the search for the holy grail.
They key is expectations. Forget March - consider it winter.
Any nice weather that comes along consider freakish. In April it
is O.K. to display guarded optimism, but remain cynical. That
way, when an eight inch snow is followed by temps in the teens and
a two week long gradual warm up, you won;t feel personally
offended. May. Two whole months away. Now that 's spring.
Looking forward to checking out your Defender.

Subject: diesel vs petrol
A little while ago somebody started a diesel vs petrol flame war.
I think it was sparked off by someone saying "I'm thinking of
buying a diesel series III, waadya think."
For a couple of weeks things escalated to a quite heated debate
(to put it mildly!).
The only conclusion was that the engines run on different fuel and
have different benefits & drawbacks.
Notice how careful I am being not to appear on either side of the
fence.
What about bringing LPG gas conversions into the debate this time.
ONLY JOKING!!!!
Cheers, Steve
