Subject: Canadian Air Pollution Web Site
I found this web site from a search on "auto emissions" and it is for
Canada's program like AirCare, and the like. Also: vehicle scrappage!

Well, germaine to the OBDII issue: None. Becasue neither 94s nor 95s have
OBDII. They have OBDI, which is why we have that cute little box on teh
right side of the dash that looks like a cigarette box (thanks to Rob L. for
educating me on this point) that has an LED display on it that tells you what
fault code # is present if your yellow check engine light is on. OBDI is a
far less complex system than this next generation, and mainly consists of
circuit continuity checks and HIGH/LOW voltage checks on key components,
like idle control valves. Not too dificult, even Lucas managed that one.
(ooohhhh, I'm sorry about that one, it just slipped out...)
But really, the most serious problem I remember on this list, has been Rob's
relay and no start issue. And that turned out not to be Lucas ECU problem,
but a wet/corroded relay? I believe I remember that correctly. So, it seems
that Lucas might be OK here, other than the rather light-duty nature of
headlight switches and the concern over harness wiring guage size. (I've
read email that D90 headlight switches burn, or fall apart. And everyone
seems concerned about adding an electrical load to the pre existing harness,
seems most use relays.)
In fact, that is what I love about the Defender, it is so relatively simple,
that good automotive sense will keep you running, barring any obvious
component failure. The electronics are pretty minimal and basic. OBDII will
crank this up a notch, to the dismay of some, and the happiness of others.

Subject: LROA Meeting 3/31/96
LROA Members,
This Sunday's meeting, March 31, 1996 at 11 AM will be at Cole European,
the Land Rover dealership at 2103 North Main Street in Walnut Creek. The
plan is to rally there and move on to a coffee shop in the neighborhood
or elsewhere, depending on the number of members that show.
On the agenda is the offer and review of a Business Plan and the LROA
Organizational Outline for the Bylaws. Both of these draft documents are
on a Web page at http://www.crl.com/~cs/lroa.html for your review and
comment. For various reasons, the Bylaws Committee has concluded that
LROA nonprofit incorporation in Nevada is the most practical and expedient
venue for the time being, and hopes that at least this portion of the
Business Plan will be adopted.
We hope to see you there,
Michael Carradine
VP pro tem LROA

:Dumb question time.

:With the proposed wording on an HTML site you can ask for comments from the

Good points!
So far the new officers have essentially been charged with the responsibilty
of maintaining and reorganizing the new LROA. In several meetings the
consensus was to direct the Bylaw Committee to incorporate the LROA and
provide a structure for all members to participate in LROA activities. To
expedite this and get the LROA back into the "LR's are fun" business, we
recommend nonprofit Nevada incorporation at this time.
To codify and improve the organizational structure of the existing LROA, a
draft outline for Bylaws has been prepared based in part on the model of
the California Association of 4-WD Clubs Inc. (CA4WD). CA4WD and LROA are
associations of clubs with regional divisions. In short, the LROA draft
Organizational Outline for Bylaws proposes that members form numerous local
clubs, each having a minumum of 4 members. These clubs are then organized
regionally to to hold rallies and events across the continent. We believe
that members will have their most meaningful enjoyment of Land Rovers and
comraderie at at the club and regional level, that's where all the fun is,
while still being part of a great continental association with its many
benefits.
Taking the reorganization process step by step, the draft documents will
initially be reviewed by the officers and local members, as well those on
the net, and then put forward in the Aluminum Workhorse. Suggestions and
comments will then be integrated into final Bylaws and voted on by the
membership. The evolution and adoption of Bylaws is time consuming, and
can proceed quite independently of incorporation. In the mean time, many
of us are anxious to have our LROA involved in activities again, and for
that we hope to incorporate now. Soon thereafter we hope to have Bylaws
adopted and to test the election process by voting for regional and
continental offices.
Cheers,
Michael Carradine
