For the 750 this = gives 7.50" * 0.82 =3D 6,15" 16 is the size of the rim. Other tyres are messured in mm, eg. 235R70-16 means 235 mm wide tread, = R=3Dradia, 70means hight is NOT 82% but 70% ( 235 * 0.7=3D 164,5 ) and = 16" rim. Interested in more info?

From: Trefor Delve <delve1t@nectech.co.uk> Subject: SII/SIII Clutch Slave cylinders Date: Wed, 10 Apr 96 12:23:00 GMT A question for those of you who know their onions (or clutch slave cylinders to be precise). Does anyone know what, if any, are the differences between a SII/IIa clutch slave cylinder and that of a SIII. I am really interested in knowing if the distance between the mounting flange and the slave piston (when fully retracted) is different. A strange question I know but in my SIII I have a SII/IIa gearbox along with a V6 engine. When the PO first converted the machine it had a SIII 'box and associated hydraulics. Due to problems with that 'box, the SII 'box was installed. Clearly, the clutch operation is now via the SII linkages however, I believe that the slave is still the SIII unit. The reason for the question relates to the operating shaft. When I needed to adjust the clutch a while ago I saw that the adjustable shaft I expected had been replaced by another shaft that had been welded to the operating fork. This new shaft is probably two inches or so longer than expected. So really the question is: Is the SIII clutch slave cylinder deeper than that of the SII ?

From: i.mitchell@ic.ac.uk Date: Wed, 10 Apr 96 14:57:07 BST Subject: ex-military SIII Hi all I have just bought an ex-military SIII LWB diesel which I am planning to use on my Africa expedition this summer. My first (undoubtedly of many) question is what are the 'standard' differences between civilian and ex-military vehicles (this one is 12V)? It came already equipped with two fuel tanks which is useful and a capstan winch on the front. It was quite amusing when I went to fill her up for the first time and couldn't find the filler cap!! Fortunately it didn't take too long for me to catch on! Cheers Ian P.S. What is the correct address of the UK list these days.

Has anyone got any >real numbers for the K&N for a Discovery? Anyone know if K&N has any >plans to make a Discovery air filter? I have talked to K&N reps who have told me that they know of no plans to introduce a Disco filter. I've stated here before that I looked at the Porsche Turbo filter and was not at all confident in the fit, especially with the top of the Disco airbox. Your statement about mileage confirms what I am seeing with my 5 speed 96 Disco, that you get better economy around 70 on the highway vs. 55 mph.
