Exhaust Gas Analyst is the key.
I believe they can do this for Red Diesel now, and dont even have to dip the
tank.

I have heard of people having white diesel in a "dummy tank", and the red in
another...
but you cant hide what comes out of the exhaust!...

Quite true...in fact I noticed an advert for the new Sub**u P.4WD estate, in the
paper this weekend.

It has a "New Accident Avoidance System", which sounds suspiciously like all the
'new' knobs and buttons on the New Disco.

Makes you think - if I bought one and drove it as fast as I could towards a 
brick wall, or cliff face, or the like....what would happen. Would I get my 
money back? Bit like buying 'The Never Ending Story' on video - it ended. 

Thats the last time I fall for that one.

Subject: Re: Question on camouflage colors and patterns

Being an ex-squaddie with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment from 1979 to 1987 I
have painted both landrovers and Armoured vehicles.

I was posted in Germany for the majority of this time with two years in
Cyprus.  the colour schemes where highly technical:

For Germany = 1 pot of green paint & 1 pot of black paint and let your
artistic influences in disruptive pattern take over.

Cyprus = one pot of green paint, occasionaly the vehicles where painted
in a sand color, however this was avoided due to the Greek Army having the
a sand colour on their vehicles and we didn't want to upset the Turks,
when doing border patrols! Of course if you were attached to the UN
vehicles would be white!

The same goes for face paint: the Yanks had several colors which they
mixed and matched to cover all skin areas.  But us Brits only had a tube
of black gunk, if you could get it (which attracted every mosquito within
a 100 metres), and we use to put on in streaks (not the whole face), just to
break up the outline!  Failing that, burn't cork, oil and mud or anything we
could get our hands on!

Subject: was LPG now red diesel.

Morning Chaps..

Anybody else see 'Countryfile' yesterday (1130 BBC1). They ran an article about 
farmers using red diesel in their cars for road use. Even though it is only 
suppose to be used in tractors and for other off road purposes. Apparently it's 
a third of the price of white diesel, something to do with the excise

The testing was done by C&E officers at the roadside, sticking a pipe into the 
fuel tank and talking a sample. (of diesel that is!)

This got me thinking.....a'ha! Play them at their own game...Put a couple of 
gallons of white diesel in you 'normal' tank through the 'normal' filler cap. 
Then get a second tank installed, filled via a concealed cap. Change over the 
fuel lines to the second tank. Then enjoy miles of excise free fuel.. The beauty
being that if you are stopped, ploddy and C&E bloke stick their pipe down your 
'normal' filler cap and get a nice white sample back. 

Just as long as they don't have a look underneath!!

Just a another fiddler out on the fiddle.

But that's illegal!!!

If you get an ex-army Landy with twin 10-gallon tanks, one under the
drivers seat and one under the passenger seat with the fillers under the
seats as well, you could convert the drivers side one to a normal filler
type, fitting the fille tube an cutting the body to take the mounting so
the whole thing looked normal but still have the passenger side tank for
the funny colour fuel. Still illegal, but fun!!

It does,but I fancy the 900 ton rating is very much wishful thinking
(to put it politely).In steam days,my route to school took my past
the line upon which the Toton-Brent coal trains ran.900-1000 tons
trailing,level line,and the BR Class9F locos that hauled them were

wouldnt have the adhesion to start the train,and it certainly wouldnt
have the braking equipment to stop it!

Subject: Re: Public Transport and Drugs

Last summer I worked for a division of Translink, the public transport company 
in Northern
Ireland.  I, like all employees,  had a free pass!  Did I use it?  No, most of 
the time I drove.

Although I lived three miles from work, a combined bus and railway station, 
getting the bus
meant leaving the house at 8:30 to walk to bus stop and be guaranteed to catch 
to it, catching
bus at 8:34, getting off the bus at 9:02 and walking from main road through 
shopping centre into
work at bus/rail station at 9:04.  Thankfully I had an understanding boss.
Driving meant walking out of my front door at 8:45, getting in the car and 
driving to work,
parking behind my building at 8:58.
A cock up with the lease on that house meant I ended up living about 8 miles 
from work for the
last month and the joys of commuting by train.  The time gap between car abd 
train got larger,
especially in the evening. Twenty five minutes shopping meant meant I didn't 
get home till 8pm
one night.
Given the amount of money needed to make public transport half decent, does 
anyone think the
government will ever pay out, or make the private owners pay?
To CJ,
No, I don't drink or smoke.  I lost my mother to cancer and I lost a friend to 
a drunk driver.
I don't need to drink to relax or socialise, I worry about anyone who does, and 
a lot of my
friends are greatful for my sobriety as I usually drive. And yes I do support 
the right to do
what we want as long as we don't harm others.   I realise I can do nothing 
about consumption of
cigarrettes and alcohol,  they generate more income than they cost in NHS bills 
(does that
include cost of paying policemen and the cost of the crimes they could be 
solving, and the
vandalism and theft caused by drunk people?).  But is that not a really sad 
state of affairs?
It brings to mind the Ford Pinto, cost of compensation to burns victims versus 
cost of modifying
fuel tank.  The result - the money went to the charcoal people.
Following this line to its logical conclusion, lets legalise, and thus heavily 
tax, cocaine,
hash, ecstasy, heroine, speed etc.  The income generated will pay off the NHS 
bills and leave a
few extra million for the government to waste, it would also ensure consistent 
quality just like
the unmolested spirits you get down the pub, haha.

Cos a 2.25, however good, and mine is good, always sounds like a

I could put a V8 (and coil suspension and full time 4WD) in my big

If its in good condition its probably worth about that, its a lovely 
motor.  The engine is a chevvy (GMC) V8, its a very good engine and 
there is a lot of knowledge about it and parts availibility is good 
and cheap, particularly in the states  Its so understressed, even 
when its slightly tuned that it'll last for ever with basic attention 
.  It'll do about 8 mpg and will almost certainly come into the 
highest VED capacity band!!

Subject: RE: V8 carbs

One of the best ways to kill a diaphragm on a Stromberg is to install it
with a slight twist.
The way I used to do it was to place the diaphragm onto the lower bit of the
carb with a couple of small rods through the screw holes to keep it in
place, and leave it there while I had a cuppa, then carefully put the top
on, with the pair of rods still in place to align it with the holes in the
top, the diaphragm, and the lower body.  Have another cuppa.  Finally
carefully tighten the screws.  I eventually got rid of that engine, and the
next one had a pair of SU's, which don't need the same care in locating
their solid pistons!
Webers are great carbs, but to put them onto your V8 you will need to change
the manifold, air cleaner and linkage as well as the cab - I think RPI
charge about as much for the manifold as the carb!
A pair of SU's, fully serviced and set up will cost less than the Weber on
its own, and give almost as good a result on the road, and be less sensitive
to serious angles off road.

Prices range from about 750 to 1200 ukp, ex VAT, but fitted for a V8.  I've
heard of somewhere doing a 'kit and check service' for about 500, but I
can't find anymore details on that one.

In the last few days I've spoken to two installers, they both prefer to do
EFIs than carbed V8s.  There are several reasons.  There is only 1 gas ring
used on the EFI engine, as opposed to the 2 on a carb, so I guess its easier
to set up.  Also with the EFI change over form petrol to gas on start up is
'instant', as is the change from gas to petrol.  I had a play with a
gas/petrol fuelled 110 with an EFI engine, it was far smoother and quieter
on gas, with very little performance hit around town (like unnoticeable).

One thing to watch is the tanks, I want to keep the range of the current
diesel (450 miles between fills) which is going to require about 130 litres
of AVAILABLE lpg, most set ups only come with a single 60-90 litre available
tank.  I also need the space inside, so I have to hang the tanks underneath,
and is a 'tight fit' to get them into the wheel arch extension boxes, which
means it will cost more :-(

Subject: 200 Tdi problem

Hello everyone,

I have a little problem with my LandRover and thought maybe someone could help. 
I own a 200TDI Discovery with about 100000 km (62000 miles) on the clock. The 
engine ran greatly so far.
But when I left the motorway (Autobahn) yesterday, the red lamp that indicates 
low oil pressure lit up for one or 
two seconds. I checked the oil but it was full enough. I had changed the oil 
about 6000 km (3800 miles) ago 
and do only use high quality oil.
So I wonder what the fault might be. Has anybody experienced something similar? 
The electrical connections 
of the oil pressure indicator are all okay.
Could it be that the oil became too hot since I had covered parts of the 
radiator to avoid overcooling in cold 
temperatures? The water temperature was not too high at least.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Greetings from Aachen (Germany)

	Michael Becker

, some regiments
would sometimes knock up their own colour mix, especially when on active

yes, Bob tells of an RCT Tank Transporter Unit last in the queue when it =
came to painting their LtWt sand on the way to the Gulf... so they mixed =
their own.

Probably your only option now is MVS at Fradley near Lichfield
Staffordshire. They are the official outlet for Mod and have about 3000 
Land Rovers of all shapes and sizes

Subject: Battery/Electrical Power Meters

Dear All

Soon may be the time when I need to fit a battery/electrical power meter to
my motor.  I am undecided whether I need to measure the battery state or
power rate etc.

Can you let me know your opinions, and what you most commonly fit - apart
from both!

Thats it for now.

Cheers

There is a company near me who fits it for 700 ukp, inc vat. Thats for
stuff and fitting.  The kit (yerself) which you latter mention, is 500 ukp.
Mail me direct and  I shall dig up the details.  The late Mr Williams of
Artists Valley, Machynlleth had one of theres.

I will probably opt for the 100L tank as that is better to fit etc.  It all
comes in the price of the kit I mentioned above!

Subject: E Auction

The bad news is I have to sell my 1964 SWB Petrol Truck Cab with
a totally daffy ducked gearbox now! all the other bits are good
except the chassis which has patches on the patches,but the 
Bulkhead is good as it has new footwells and only minor rust
overall.
    The good news is that the sale is by E auction right here!
I live in North London,So if you are local and fancy bidding
for it,I will take the best offer over 100 UKP,otherwise it 
goes for SCRAP.

Regards

Bryan
