Subject: Re: Carb emissions
Peter,
I believe the emission tests vary depending on the age of the vehicle - I used to have a 1971, (normally registered i.e. "J" reg) IIa, lwb and this only had to meet visible test levels - i.e. if it wasn't belching out smoke it passed.........So I guess, unless the regulations change, that you will be OK with your 1968 IIa (as longas the emissions are not too smokey....)
Carl
P.S. I haven't given up on LRs - I now own a 1985 110 V8 CSW instead!

Subject: Increasing headlight power
I am not very happy with the power output of my SIIa, especially on
dipped beam during dark winter nights... I would like to upgrade the
bulbs, as opposed to fitting auxillary lights, as IMHO they look "boy
racerish". I have seen some halogen bulbs, but some say "For Off Road
Use Only" - I assume as they are too powerful(!). What kind of power
can the standard wiring loom take - and what kind of bulbs can
(Legally) be fitted. Or should I just swallow my pride and fit some
auxillary lamps, in which case any suggestions?
Cheers
Richard

Can anyone help? A friend of mine living in the Surrey area is after
getting hold of a lightweight as his first vehicle. It has to be
unmodified so as to keep insurance cost down.
If anyone can help, please contact me on

I have fitted Ring quartz halogen headlamps to my SI, they are 55/65
watt, and make all the difference down the dark Welsh lanes. Craddock
& others are currently offering these for around GPD25. Well worth the
dosh!

Yeah, it looks like Trackers are becoming the odds on favourite for
tyre choice - there not a bad price either!
Thanks for your thoughts Phil.

Thanks for the information, very helpful. The tyres you mention
above are these the "Trackers" I see advertised in all the LR mags?

Yep, XCLs are uni-directional.

Sounds promising, I have all of the above :-) (except the 750s)

Yeah, I agree. One of the reasons I want something a bit more
"agressive". Are you on the original Lt/wt rims or LWB wheels? If
your on Lt/wt rims is turning circle much of a problem?

A great help, thanks Tony.

It was me. Yeah apparently this is the case, but it came to me
second hand so I wouldn't swear to it.

I know that there is a few ford V powered landrovers out there,
and I have a faver to ask.
Does any one have a spare carb for a ford 3.0Ltr V6 Essex engine.
If someone does please mail me & I'll sort out the arrangements.
Thanks in advance.

I think that 55W is the max power for main beam on the road. 90/110
sealed beam units should fit the bowls and the plugs in your IIa. I
prefer these to replacable bulb headlamps, because although they aren't
as bright, they don't fill with water. A sealed beam costs about twice
as much as a replacement bulb though (about 10 pounds)

In all cases of any serious upgrades of bulb power, I would put it through a
relay (stops fires & ensures you have 12 volts reaching the bulb).
