Subject: WAKE UP, TIME TO DIE
Nothing to do with BladeRunner! I think it's time I waved goodbye to
my 1958 SII landy with new wheels and tyres, cute side door decals,
free-wheeling hubs, 35,000 on the clock (probably not genuine!), new
springs, shocks, neat paintwork (except for some bear-claw scratches
on the near-side wing), sound half rust-proofed chassis, leather
steering wheel cover, and a good-working engine. I just can't afford
to run it anymore so I'm thinking of taking some time off owning a car
until I can get another landy. I was considering getting a little
mini for the time being. Anyway is anybody interested in owning this
baby for a mere 975 uk pounds?
I have to go now, I think I'm going to cry...
...I can't even bring myself to press the send button yet! Oh, what
the hell, this isn't an official advert okay, just an enquiry 'cos I
still don't know if I can bring myself to part with the old gal.

Subject: Re: Power steering!
More than a week ago I posted something about a steering box recall in
reply to a message from Carl Butler which went along the lines of

Well, it seems my dealer-bashing was a bit hasty. There is a recall, but it
concerns post factory spare parts, not units factory fitted to vehicles,
and the notice went out only to dealers/importers who had been shipped a
batch of faulty units. I'm also not sure whether it was Land Rover or the
manufacturer of the steering boxes who issued the recall. The person who
gave me the information is currently busy wrecking his steering box somewhere
in North Africa, so right now I can't get any more details. Still, hope
this helps to clear up the confusion I created.

Subject: Bouncing mail
I totally agree with Ian about this. As someone who also posts a lot I
do get annoyed by the half dozen mail failure messages which come with
each posting.
Could all the students who are about to go on Easter hols please make
sure that they have enough mailbox space, or unsubscribe for the
holidays. Or have they already gone and I'm too late?
Can majordomo be configured to swallow the bounced messages? I am on
other mailing lists and they never give me bounced message problems and
I doubt that is due to the list subscribers.
Regards, Sgt. A.Nally-Retentive LRO submissions police.

Subject: Re[2]: Land Rover 2 wheel drive model ?
My knowledge is all based upon the LRO articles - I'll look out the
issue tonight. I agree with the earlier comments that they were
intended as airfield runabouts - I think quite a few have survived.
For some reason they tend to bear an 'FUV' numberplate, I recently saw
a nice example parked just around the corner from Vauxhall Station and
the British Interplanetary society complete with its 'FUV' plate, just
the thing for that London traffic I suppose,
cheers,
Mark

Subject: Discovery help
I desperately need more help with my Discovery assignment. I am athird
year student at Covenntry University, and my final project is on the
success of the Discovery. If you have not already filled in a
questionairre please mail me for a copy at hec2@coventry.ac.uk.
Also, if you have any opinions for or against the Discovery and its
competitors please let me know. I have alot of info from the American
side, but not enough on the UK market. If any of you, by some freak
chance, happen to have any copies of any Discovery magazine ads, I would
be grateful if you could let me know. I am a Land Rover driver, so have a
genuine interest in the success of this assignment, and a good grade would
be a bonus!!!
A million thanks...Hel..

Re: Ian Robinson's posting
I had that to happen to a posting. Found that if you set your mail program so
that it DOES NOT request a return receipt the problem goes away.
