Employee Profile – Rob Smith<br />
When you call <strong>Rover</strong>s North for parts or service assistance, you’ll likely<br />
speak with Rob Smith. If your question involves service, repairs, or<br />
offroading in a Series Land <strong>Rover</strong> or Defender, he’ll be advising you<br />
from experience.<br />
He’s a native Vermonter who seemed destined to wind up at<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s North. Born in Burlington, Rob grew up in the town next door,<br />
Essex Junction, and still lives there. And Westford is but one town<br />
northeast of Essex Junction.<br />
Rob grew up back when Land <strong>Rover</strong> only sent the <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><br />
to the US market. By the time he finished his business studies at<br />
Champlain College and a community college, Land <strong>Rover</strong> was still<br />
considering what to do with the Defender for the US market.<br />
runs great for me and I really enjoy being in it.”<br />
He remains a huge enthusiast of the Defender. “If I were<br />
president of Land <strong>Rover</strong>, I’d want them to bring back the Defender to<br />
the US market, relatively unchanged from the early ‘90’s model. The<br />
‘94-‘95 Defenders are just one step up from a Series vehicle. They<br />
have the OBD diagnostic box that can be checked inexpensively and<br />
easily to help identify fault codes.”<br />
If you wanted to buy a Defender, Rob advises looking at the<br />
chassis and firewall first for corrosion. Originality is now an issue,<br />
too. After that, check out the engine and drivetrain. Fourth on his list<br />
would be electrical. Some interior bits are becoming harder<br />
to source, but operational and repair items remain in stock from<br />
He became interested in <strong>Rover</strong>s North because “I loved cars. I<br />
knew nothing about Land <strong>Rover</strong>s when I took the job; I knew Jeeps,<br />
that was it. Soon after I started here, I went offroading with other staff<br />
members and saw first hand what a Land <strong>Rover</strong> could accomplish.”<br />
Soon after, he bought his first Land <strong>Rover</strong>, a ’69 Series II-A<br />
Bugeye. Rob remembers that “a customer walked into <strong>Rover</strong>s North<br />
with an offer to sell his car for $500. I bought it on the spot. It needed<br />
a lot work, but with guidance from more experienced staff members,<br />
I repaired it. Les Parker really helped me with the electrics. You<br />
can’t see the electricity – that’s why it’s so mysterious to me!”<br />
Rob sold his ’69 Series II-A for a ’70 Series II-A ex-MOD 109”,<br />
and then purchased his current Land <strong>Rover</strong>, a ’94 Defender 90, in<br />
2000. He has installed <strong>Rover</strong>s North sill protectors and a <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
North soft top, Old Man Emu heavy duty suspension and a fuel tank<br />
guard. He runs BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on his <strong>Rover</strong>. The <strong>Rover</strong><br />
came with 52,000 and now has 94,000 miles on the odometer. “It<br />
4<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong> through <strong>Rover</strong>s North.<br />
You may well have met Rob at east coast events such as the Mid<br />
Atlantic Rally in Virginia, the Southern New Hampshire Rally, and the<br />
British Invasion and <strong>Rover</strong>Fest events in Vermont. He loves attending<br />
and participating but admits that “the 16 hour one way drivers to the<br />
MAR in a heavy duty suspension Defender 90 does wear me out!<br />
Otherwise, I’d love to attend more events.”<br />
“What’s the fun of the job I’ve worked at <strong>Rover</strong>s North in<br />
shipping, purchasing and sales. I’ve been instructing for the 4x4<br />
Centre off road school during the summers. I get to work with Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s every day.”<br />
“I use my Defender for hunting and offroading. When you drive<br />
around in your Land <strong>Rover</strong>, nothing compares with it. Unlike the<br />
Hummer, it really can do what it looks like it can do.”<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
Mike Koch related his ordeal resulting from a<br />
dead slave cylinder. As he’s now undoubtedly<br />
aware (since he works at <strong>Rover</strong>s North and<br />
gets input from his co-workers), driving without<br />
a clutch is distressing, but entirely possible.<br />
One starts the vehicle in first or second<br />
gear and then shifts by synchronizing the<br />
engine rpm with the propshaft rpm at a given<br />
speed. It becomes easy to shift up or down in<br />
this fashion. When stopping the vehicle, one<br />
places the transmission in neutral, shuts<br />
down the engine, and restarts in first or second<br />
gear. I have done this with innumerable<br />
standard shift vehicles over the past 50 years,<br />
for short and long trips.<br />
Using radial tires, different shocks, and<br />
parabolic springs will dramatically alter the<br />
handling of his MOD 109”, as it did mine,<br />
prior to its destruction by a huge oak tree<br />
during a storm. Perhaps one day I’ll own<br />
another. I’ve had three Series Land <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
and loved every one of them.<br />
Lawrence Lippert, M.D<br />

[Sounds like just what the doctor ordered<br />
for a bum clutch. My experience with dodgy<br />
clutches in my Land <strong>Rover</strong>s is that the low<br />
gearing and low torque curve conspire to<br />
make speed shifting a difficult challenge in<br />
a Series <strong>Rover</strong>; it’s proven to be a lot easier<br />
in several British sports cars. Radial tires<br />
and parabolics can soften the impact of an<br />
MOD 109” in daily running – Mike, are you<br />
paying attention –ed]<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
“What To Do in the Snow” by Jeffrey Aronson<br />
was a great article, but it ignores the elephant<br />
in the room. That is, why are <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
(mine is a <strong>Classic</strong>) only average (maybe<br />
worse) in the snow It’s not just a matter of<br />
tires; it seems to be a function of the transfer<br />
case not locking up, or not staying locked. My<br />
comparison vehicles are a couple of<br />
International Harvester Scouts and a GMC<br />
pickup. All had conventional 4WD with locking<br />
hubs and no positraction. All were better<br />
in the snow than the <strong>Classic</strong>. My solution has<br />
been to put a click or two on the parking<br />
brake to convince the transfer case that there<br />
is unequal traction between front and rear,<br />
but this only sort of works.<br />
I hope you’ll give me an honest reply and<br />
not tell me there is something wrong with the<br />
vehicle; it has been checked out every way<br />
possible. Plus, I’m not the only one to observe<br />
this. Other owners with experience in other<br />
vehicles share my opinion.<br />
Lee J. Dahle<br />
[Via email]<br />
[It’s hard to believe that the additional V-8<br />
torque and coil spring suspension travel, so<br />
much better on a <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> than on a<br />
Scout or GMC pickup [or Series Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>] of similar vintage, does not produce<br />
the off-road results you want in snow.<br />
Given the number of <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong>s<br />
that perform mightily at off-road events,<br />
I’m not certain I can agree fully with your<br />
conclusion. To my chagrin, <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
have pulled my Series II-A out of mudholes<br />
or over ice floes all to o effectively. The<br />
most recent Maine Winter Romp witnessed<br />
many <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s and Discovery Series I’s<br />
[same drivetrain] proving themselves very<br />
effective in snowy conditions.<br />
When <strong>Rover</strong>s North organized the only<br />
winter climb up the Mount Washington<br />
Auto Road, Their <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s performed<br />
superbly on the arduous and historic trek.<br />
The team found that at times, use of the<br />
high range gears was more effective than<br />
L1 or L2 in certain snow situations. Tire<br />
selection and air pressure do make a difference<br />
on the handling of all Land <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
in snow situations; I’ve watched a <strong>Range</strong><br />
<strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> bog terribly in snow all<br />
because the owner refused to air down his<br />
tires. I know that was the reason because<br />
<strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s who followed the trail leaders’<br />
instructions went around him to help<br />
tow him up the trail.<br />
After 1990, <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s incorporated<br />
a viscous coupling to lock the driveshafts.<br />
In 1993, <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s used the ABS system<br />
as a form of traction control to further<br />
improve off-road ability. It’s still honest to<br />
query whether when you’ve had your <strong>Rover</strong><br />
checked over, have these systems been<br />
checked, too<br />
What do readers think of Lee’s observations<br />
Are you also disappointed with your<br />
<strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong>’s abilities in the snow<br />
–ed]<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
I just wanted to thank you for the service Steve<br />
[Haskell] provided me today. I am the kind of<br />
person who pretty much likes to deal with just<br />
one person. Steve is the kind of guy who<br />
always remembers my name and who I am.<br />
No small task for him, I am sure. So when I<br />
had a chance to visit your shop, I just had to<br />
have lunch with him. It’s that personal touch<br />
for me that makes the difference between you<br />
folks and just price shopping the internet.<br />
Gustaf Kupetz<br />
Lead Driver, East Coast FJ Trail Teams<br />
[Steve bought you lunch when you visited<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s North He’s never bought me lunch
when I show up at <strong>Rover</strong>s North! There’s a<br />
very dedicated group of technical support<br />
staff in Westford and we agree they make a<br />
huge difference for <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts<br />
everywhere –ed].<br />
Hello,<br />
I was hunting for some Land <strong>Rover</strong> information<br />
and came across wonderful advertisements<br />
for Land <strong>Rover</strong>s from the 1950’s. They<br />
were a delight to read. Enjoy and keep up<br />
your good work. You got me even more<br />
addicted to Land <strong>Rover</strong>s and I get even more<br />
crap from my wife! I wish I could have one of<br />
those 1950’s Land <strong>Rover</strong>s brand new but I am<br />
still happy to have my ’93 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong><br />
LWB that I got back in 2005, with only 54,800<br />
miles, for $5,000. She has about 62,500<br />
miles to date.<br />

[Through Land <strong>Rover</strong> parts support and the<br />
additional resources of <strong>Rover</strong>s North, you<br />
can basically rebuild a classic Series <strong>Rover</strong><br />
so that it’s as “new” as when it left the factory.<br />
It’s a bit harder with Series I Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s, given the number of unique and<br />
NLA parts on them. Land <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong><br />

Dear Mark,<br />
Willie Nelson is a legend here in Texas. Some<br />
will immediately conclude that Texas must<br />
have a very small pool of legends from which<br />
to pick. Be that as it may, there is a line from<br />
one of Willie’s songs that says, “I know more<br />
ole drunks that I do ole doctors – so let’s<br />
have another round.” I got to thinking about<br />
that line in Willie’s song after reading the<br />
recent “Behind the Steering Wheel” article<br />
about Mr. Brian Carvey and his ole <strong>Rover</strong>. I<br />
think we could say “I know more old <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
than I do ole Cruisers so let’s go out down the<br />
road.”<br />
Thanks, Mark, for all you and your crew, do.<br />
Leighton Ogg<br />

[Except for certain decisions out of the<br />
Texas Legislature, we never question Texas<br />
legends – we figure they’re true. Reading<br />

round, too –ed].<br />
Dear <strong>Rover</strong>s North,<br />
Perhaps it’s time to run another article on<br />
safe practices with a Hi-Lift (type) jack. On<br />
page 25 of the Spring 2007 <strong>Rover</strong>s North<br />
News - the photo on the right hand side of the<br />
page. Certainly, there is a better example of<br />
jacking in the vast RN photo library. If not,<br />
let’s do a photo shoot. I hate to be one of<br />
“those types,” but you know exactly why I’m<br />
on about this. Best regards,<br />
Jeff Berg<br />
Malden, MA<br />
[Yes, Jeff, we share mutual friends who<br />
have suffered injury from unintentionally<br />
incorrect use of the farm jack. Our photo<br />
shows a Hi-Lift at work on a snowy field<br />
elevating a Defender while the crew has the<br />
front tire off the car. The jack handle is<br />
pointing out at 90 degrees, never a good<br />
move. I’m often getting stuck in off road<br />
situations, so maybe we can collaborate on<br />
that photo shoot –ed.]<br />

FROST IN FLORIDA!<br />
An Inconvenient Truth:<br />
Story by: Sonja Palomino Photos by: Janet Poelsma<br />
It’s the Day After Tomorrow in Davenport, Florida. Today is February<br />
16 at the Wallaby Ranch, the new site for the Florida Winter Roundup.<br />
It’s a freezing Friday night. Now I know what you’re thinking…<br />
freezing… in Florida… yeah, right. Really, it was freezing! As the sun<br />
dropped, so did the temperature. By 11:00pm, frost had covered the<br />
tents of the assembled enthusiasts. Some gathered around the blazing<br />
group campfire to join in warm conversation about the day’s events.<br />
Several of us remained by the fire for several hours, mostly out of fear<br />
of walking away from the heat just to go into a cold tent and praying<br />
that your sleeping bag will be thick enough to keep in the body heat.<br />
Remember, we are Florida folk. At about 3:00am we stoked the fire<br />
by adding several large logs hoping that in the morning we would be<br />
able to get it going with little effort. That night, the mercury kept<br />
dropping and didn’t stop until it was at 23 degrees. So much for our<br />
warm and fun in the sun Florida off-roading event!<br />
Earlier that morning, when it was much warmer, we brought our<br />
’04 Discovery II and our ’67 Series II-A Land <strong>Rover</strong>, and joined over<br />
300 Land <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts and 70 Land <strong>Rover</strong>s at the 6 th annual<br />
Florida <strong>Rover</strong> Roundup. After five years of riding the trails in the<br />
Ocala National Forest, we decided a change of scenery would be nice.<br />
Wallaby Ranch is a world famous hang gliding school located in<br />
central Florida near Walt Disney World. It sits on over 500 beautiful<br />
acres. Over the past several years, Malcom Jones, the proprietor of<br />
the ranch, has hosted dozens of Land <strong>Rover</strong> customer appreciation<br />
days for dealerships throughout Florida. This year, his spectacular<br />
locale proved the perfect spot for our event.<br />
One of the benefits of this property is the seemingly unlimited<br />
amount of land The existing trails had names such as Proving<br />
Ground, Trek Trail, Safari Trail, and Emu. These trails consistently<br />
challenged the stock Land <strong>Rover</strong>s and the novice drivers,<br />
particularly after a good rain; however, this year we have been in a<br />
drought and all the trails that are usually under water were bone dry.<br />
Knowing that the chance of enough rain to soak the trails was<br />
unlikely, we altered some of the existing trails to make them more<br />
challenging, and even built a new one. We focused on improving the<br />
Trek Trail to use for our trials competition. Many obstacles were<br />
added and the trail was extended. This trail was designed to push the<br />
limits of the vehicles without incurring any damage.<br />

We named our new trail “Jungle Trek.” This trail we built in a<br />
low lying area of the property that is usually under water. With the dry<br />
conditions, we were able to get in and remove all the trees that had<br />
fallen from the hurricanes over recent years. The entrance to the trail<br />
was a large mud hole. Friday night, everyone was able to get through<br />
by either powering through or hugging the edge. By noon on Saturday<br />
this was not the case. After a lot of spinning Mud-Terrains the mud<br />
hole became impassible. Only those with a winch dared to take this<br />
path; the rest chose to take the bypass. The bypass, although drier,<br />
was narrower and proved to be a technical challenge to many.<br />
Besides the enhanced trails and unlimited camping area, moving<br />
the Roundup to Wallaby Ranch proved to have other benefits as well.<br />
The biggest one being that we were able to set up competitions that<br />
all the participants could enjoy. That just was not possible the years<br />
before on public property.<br />
Saturday morning brought hope of a warm day. The sun<br />
was shining; people started coming out of their tents and RV’s to see<br />
just how much frost had accumulated on everything. Some joked<br />
wondering if anyone had an ice scraper. Ice scrapers in Florida are<br />
about as common as snow chains.<br />
As the frost melted away and the temperature climbed, the blood<br />
in the veins of the competitors started to flow. After the morning<br />
drivers meeting, they hurried to sign up for the events they wanted to<br />
compete in.<br />
The first event was the Boomerang GPS Challenge. It was limited<br />
to ten vehicles. The teams would have two hours to locate all the<br />
way-points and return to camp. The winning team took about<br />
45 minutes while others took the entire two hours. Dave Zymowski<br />
of Orlando and his team took the gold in this event. Dave had plenty<br />
of time for a victory lap around the campsite in his ’98 Discovery<br />
Series II in full G-4 regalia, well before any of his competition arrived.<br />
After lunch, we had the Little Jackeroo children fun time. It<br />
started with a three legged race. The children picked their partners<br />
and off they went trying to be the first to cross the finish line, which<br />
happened to be a snatch strap. We even had several mamma and papa<br />
Jackaroos trying their luck in an effort to bring home the gold.<br />
Then off to learn some recovery techniques. With assistance<br />
from there parents, the smallest jackaroos learned how to hook up a<br />
recovery strap. The older children thought this would be easy until we<br />
introduced a blindfold. This may be useful someday when your recovery<br />
points are buried in soupy mud, heck, somebody has to hook up.<br />
Our favorite part of the children’s activity is when Jeff Wait had<br />
all the children pose for a picture on his ‘93 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>. Although<br />
modified and used for off-roading, I believe this is the most abuse it<br />
gets. There are kids everywhere! On the roof rack, hanging out<br />
windows, standing on the bumpers all trying to catch the attention of<br />
the cameras. This has become a tradition of our event and next year<br />
we just may have to add another <strong>Rover</strong> to accommodate the growing<br />
number of children that attend the <strong>Rover</strong> Roundup.<br />
While we were still setting up the course for the Aussie Trials<br />
Competition, Land <strong>Rover</strong>s of all types started to line up. Everything<br />
from a stock Series II-A driven by it original owner, Gerry Atchrich, to<br />
heavily modified Defender 90s, tackled the challenge. As the drivers<br />
watched, you could tell that they were driving the course mentally<br />
before it was their turn. All waited for their chance at a sweet victory,<br />
the ones with the modified trucks knowing that they had the upper<br />
hand on the unmodified ones. In the end, it came down to one thing,<br />
driver skill. William Aguillon, Port St. Lucie, proved to be the master<br />
of patience. He took first place in the Trials competition, winning with<br />
precise driving in his stock 2004 Discovery.<br />
Only the most competitive enthusiasts signed up for our final<br />
competition. The only modification required was a winch. The teams<br />
consisted of a driver and his navigator (aka. grunt). Adrenaline started<br />
flowing as the teams sat waiting for their chance at fame. At the<br />
word “Go” they all jumped out, pulling free-wheeling winch lines to<br />
an anchor vehicle. Between the winding of the winches, careering<br />
timbers, removing a tire, a combination of carrying and rolling the<br />
tire a great distance over a hill and back to see who would be the first<br />
to end the competition. With lots of sheer physical exertion, all<br />
competitors made it across the finish line. All in all, the task took just<br />
over 20 minutes to complete and the competion was won by Dimitri<br />
and Ricardo Mundarain. Dimitri lives in Boynton Beach and arrived<br />
in a 2004 Discovery II, also in G-4 Tangerine Orange.<br />
I guess this type of thing just runs in the Mundarain’s blood. We<br />
have already heard rumors that they will be back next year to defend<br />
this prestigious title. Pre-event training will be a must for next year’s<br />
event. We guarantee it!<br />
After all the excitement, it was time to slow down and enjoy some<br />
wonderful Southern BBQ prepared by Salty Hog. This went great with<br />
the live entertainment provided by Clint and Chad. Following dinner,<br />
we set up for our annual charity auction. Thanks to <strong>Rover</strong>s North and<br />
many other vendors that donated items, we were able to raise over<br />
$2,100 for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 100% of the<br />
auction proceeds are donated to charity each year.<br />
Trail rides continued late into the evening. One group remained<br />
out later then they planned when the differential on a <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><br />
went bust. After a couple hours of towing and winching through the<br />
tight and technical part of Jungle Trek, they made it back safely.<br />
It had rained early Sunday morning before sunrise. Luckily it was<br />
nowhere near as cold as the night before. Although, it would have<br />
made it interesting to wake up with snow on the Land <strong>Rover</strong>s. Then<br />
we would have had to change the name to The Florida Winter Romp.<br />
See you next year. It will be warmer – we promise!<br />

First Impressions - “The Stoner”<br />
Story & Photo by Ray Scholl<br />
[Ray Scholl lives in Mason, NH, with Jenny, his wife, and their<br />
children Lindsay and Foster. He’s an IT professional who, with his<br />
family, built their house, maintain a “gentleman’s farm,” raise<br />
animals and refurbish automobiles. Their Land <strong>Rover</strong> project<br />
would have been impossible without their chief assistant and<br />
great friend, Ananth Kaitharam –ed.]<br />
Our Land <strong>Rover</strong> started life back in 1970 on a farm in England.<br />
A sheep farmer had used it as a workhorse for 25 years (hauling,<br />
shearing, etc.) before deciding to retire it from service. I never had<br />
the chance to meet him or to see the farm; I just remember what was<br />
relayed to me back in 1996 or so, when we decided to see what all<br />
the hype was about.<br />
A colleague of mine was visiting family in Leicester when he and<br />
a friend decided to put a few vehicles in a container and send them<br />
back to the US. It arrived here in March and he put it right on the<br />
road. He left it with me for safe keeping (knowing full well I would<br />
end up buying this beast) and I used it as a daily driver; mostly to the<br />
train station and for running errands. About a month later, it was<br />
registered to me and we were a <strong>Rover</strong> family!<br />
Well, it was not restored and certainly in need of a few repairs,<br />
but the next year went smooth enough. Inspection time was a<br />
surprise – swivel ball time! Once I got the parts, it was about two<br />
weekends of careful effort to replace the pieces and I think I did the<br />
front springs and a ball joint in the steering as well.<br />
Another year goes by, we drove and dragged it to Pennsylvania<br />
and drove some old strip mines, power lines, etc. and what a blast<br />
(until I got home and replaced the rear springs). Time continued to<br />
tick by; Mother Nature loves those crevices where dirt and moisture<br />
sit. You may have guessed – replace the gas tank. We have actually<br />
gone through two of them already.<br />
We moved to New Hampshire quite a few years ago and it seemed<br />
the extended ride to the train over the bumps in the <strong>Rover</strong> produced<br />
(or shook loose) a few kidney stones, thus, the nickname, “The<br />
Stoner.” The first spring was great – most vehicles would stop and<br />
stare at the mud at the end of the driveway, but my wife used it<br />
several trips a day to schools with the kids (since I only went out/in<br />
once a day I used the less capable vehicles). We did upgrade the<br />
driveway later, but if you haven’t played in axle deep mud I suggest<br />
you give it a try.<br />
Well, an old vehicle, plenty of miles, and exposure to the<br />
elements eventually take their toll. I did patch the rusty frame a few<br />
times, and then horror. I got the call – “it’s running fine, but should<br />
it sound like a diesel” Time to bring it home and either rebuild the<br />
engine or get a replacement. I found a rebuilt (military specification<br />
- had to give up my generator and positive ground) and in another fun<br />
filled pair of weekends my truck was back on the road in daily use.<br />
Over more time, the long daily treks over the dirt roads took a<br />
new toll. The extra power from the rebuilt engine felt great to me but<br />
the transmission disagreed. So, I replaced the gear box/transfer case<br />
with a rebuilt (I have all kinds of spares and cores). Now we were<br />
back to full strength and just in time. The grandparents wanted to<br />
spend time with the grandkids, so we left them back in Pennsylvania<br />
for a week. I took a few of the hottest days off and we traveled about<br />
800 miles up through VT, across NH, and back home. With the top<br />
off and a cooler in the back, it was pure enjoyment.<br />
During this time an old friend decided he just had to pick up a<br />
109”. I sent him to <strong>Rover</strong>s North and Mark Letorney outfitted him<br />
accordingly. While at a show further south, he came across an<br />
overdrive for sale and grabbed it for me. I still have yet to rebuild<br />
that, but someday, it will be bolted onto the transfer case.<br />
Well, ultimately the most crucial piece has been putting up with<br />
all the abuse. I planned a chassis swap for years but postponed the<br />
inevitable monetary and physical expense. The <strong>Rover</strong> had become<br />
less a daily driver and more an entertaining alternative, but still solid<br />
enough for errands and local trips. We were on the way back from<br />
soccer, a friend was taunting us, and we certainly would not let a<br />
Suburban get the best of us. We emerged victorious and basked in the<br />
glory until we got home and noticed the doors seem to “overlap”<br />
rather than close. No further postponement was possible. So in<br />
October, 2005 I had to take the <strong>Rover</strong> out of service.<br />
Finally, in April, 2006, my daughter, a friend, and I make the<br />
journey with my newly built trailer and load up a galvanized chassis.<br />
It sits in the grass for two months while we make preparations.<br />
Finally, during the late summer, we began the successful refurbishment<br />
of our Land <strong>Rover</strong>. When you do a frame-over, it’s smart to also<br />
replace the springs, shocks and check straps. It’s a good time, too for<br />
new brake lines, brake system components, swivel ball gaiters, and<br />
electrical wiring. We also refurbished the bulkhead, too.<br />
Thanks to <strong>Rover</strong>s North, I can keep this unique vehicle running<br />
and in original condition. While they are not for everyone, they<br />
certainly are fun if you don’t mind a rustic form of transportation.<br />
“The Stoner” started life on a farm in England and continues life on<br />
a farm in New Hampshire. It’s a great life for everyone!<br />

AMERICA CALLING -<br />
SEND US THE ‘07<br />
DEFENDER<br />
Story by: Jeffrey Aronson<br />
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived in Virgina for the 400th<br />
anniversary of the Jamestown colony and the 133rd running of the<br />
Kentucky Derby. Before they left Great Britain I requested that they<br />
include a 2007 Defender in the royal baggage.<br />
Their last trip was in 1991; within two years, we had the Defender 110<br />
NAS. Just in case history should repeat itself, put your order in now.<br />

Consider grant theft auto. Think about illegal importation. Find<br />
a good lawyer now. Whatever it takes, this car is worth the risk. My<br />
shameless display of illegal behavior was matched only by the<br />
mewling and whining I undertook in a failed effort to get <strong>Rover</strong>s<br />
North to send me to England to test drive the latest Defender.<br />
Neither groveling nor begging moved the cold hearts of Westford.<br />
That’s forced me to drool over my laptop’s keyboard as I’ve<br />
gathered information on this latest incarnation of the iconic vehicle.<br />
Sixty years ago the Wilks brothers led the team that set down<br />
the basic elements of the Land <strong>Rover</strong>, a “stopgap” vehicle meant<br />
to bring in some cash while <strong>Rover</strong> geared up for postwar car<br />
production. <strong>Rover</strong> created an impressively strong frame<br />
underneath, lightweight aluminum alloy panels above, long-travel<br />
and rugged suspension, mated to a high torque engine and strong<br />
transmission with a two-range transfer case. It would go anywhere<br />
and accomplish most anything that you needed a machine to do.<br />
Over the decades, leaf springs gave way to coil springs, disc brakes<br />
replaced drum brakes, Panhard rods and radius arms secure the<br />
live axles. The wheelbase has grown all of 12 inches for the<br />
smaller model, and up to 23 inches for the longest wheelbase<br />
models. As a mobile tool, no other vehicle proved as rugged and<br />
long-lived. The Defender has long ceased to be treated as a car,<br />
regardless of what legislators think, but as a vehicle unique to itself.<br />
England’s Channel 4 commented that “‘Heritage’ is a<br />
much-abused term in the motor industry, but the Defender is one of<br />
the few cars that can lay claim to it. It’s also strangely classless:<br />
though generally associated with the huntin’ and shootin’ set, the<br />
Defender’s also a true working-class tool, especially in pick-up<br />
form. Green wellies, tweed caps, corduroy trousers and black<br />
Labradors are optional, but it does look out of place in the city.”<br />
The 2007 Defender remains true to its marque values but<br />
continuous improvement make it even more delectable than before.<br />
Changes have been modest since the model took over for the Series<br />
III in 1983. For 2007, the stylist’s eye will note a taller bonnet line<br />
and the absence of the name “Defender” on the front. The newest<br />
one says proudly “Land <strong>Rover</strong>.” Under the new aluminum bonnet is<br />
a new 2.4 liter diesel, a Ford-based commercial unit adapted for the<br />
extreme off road use common to Defenders. It’s the only engine<br />
available on any Defender. It’s a common-rail, 4-cylinder<br />
turbocharged engine that puts out similar horsepower (122 hp) to<br />
the Td5, but virtually all of the torque comes on between 1,500 –<br />
2,700 rpm. Farmer’s Guardian did the calculations; they claim that<br />
90% of the “grunt” is available through 60% of the rpm range.<br />
There’s 266 lbs/ft available at only 2000 rpm!<br />

The new engine enjoys a new Getrag 6-speed manual transmission,<br />
so you can take advantage of this wider torque curve. The new<br />
transmission also permits a lower first gear and a higher 6 th gear for<br />
highway driving. First gear is now 5.44:1, fifth gear is now 1:1, and<br />
6 th gear is a true overdrive at 0.74. The final drive ratio is an ideal<br />
3.54. Engine electronics limit the engine to 85 mph, but you’ll get<br />
there faster and quieter than ever. When it comes time to stop, your<br />
pedal foot will operate 4 disc brakes, vented up front, for more<br />
secure on-road operation.<br />
A jaundiced eye might also be cast at the scuttle on the top of the<br />
bulkhead; the much-beloved vents are gone. This is made possible by<br />
the vast improvements in the interior fitments. First off, the facia and<br />
dash comprise one piece of injection-molded plastic. The squeaks<br />
that always had you searching for mice, and the rattles that convinced<br />
you that loose tools rolled around your feet, are also gone. The heat<br />
really works now and there’s even an optional, truly functional air<br />
conditioner. You may not need it because the Defender finally has<br />
eyeball fresh-air vents, just like cars from the 1960’s. Instead of<br />
putting instruments in the center of the facia, Land <strong>Rover</strong> has placed<br />
large, easily identifiable switches and buttons where you would<br />
expect to find them. Optional packages include a center console,<br />
cupholders [!], an upgraded audio system, even MP3/iPod<br />

When it comes to brand identity;<br />

<strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, LR3, and LR2 as<br />
being worthy of the green oval.<br />

compatibility. Given the improved interior insulation, you can truly<br />
hear the music.<br />
It’s still a narrow vehicle so your seats, which adjust a bit more<br />
than before, still rely on the door and electric window to help<br />
position you in cockpit. Autocar.UK noted that “the driving position<br />
remains appalling…elbow room is notable for its absence and leg<br />
room is right on the limit of comfortable.” In the Defender 90’s rear,<br />
EU regulations have forced the twin rear jump seats to face forward,<br />
not sideways. The seats will tip forward and fold sideways so as to<br />
leave plenty of room for work tools or play stuff. Again, EU regulations<br />
mean that you can’t have more than 7 seats; gone are the<br />
10-seat and 12-seat possibilities of yesteryear.<br />
The 2007 Defender offers 14 different body styles in wheelbases<br />
of 90 [actually 92.5”], 110, and 130 inches. You can enjoy a hard<br />
top [with or without side windows], the venerable station wagon, a<br />
double cab [crew cab], and pickup model. Land <strong>Rover</strong> Special<br />
Vehicles will still create or authorize ambulances, lifeboat haulers,<br />
tippers [dump bodies], or most anything else you’d want.<br />
On or off-road, the Defender will haul up to 3,500 kg while<br />
climbing steep or slippery hills. There’s no automatic transmission<br />
option nor does the Defender come with airbags, anywhere in the car.<br />
You can’t loll about in cruise control or watch a DVD player.<br />
Reflecting the popularity of Defenders amongst auto thieves, an<br />
alarm, an immobilizer and central locking is standard. The optional<br />
sunroof is manually operated. The exterior mirrors move only when<br />
you grab them with your hands and yank them in the right direction.<br />
The rear windows on the 90 still slide open and shut, just as they do<br />
on my ’66 Series II-A. For the UK market, you can still order rubber<br />
mats and take a hose to the interior. The clutch is reportedly as heavy<br />
as ever and the turning circle still rivals that of a Kenworth attached<br />
to a semi. Interior noise at 70 mph is 73 decibels, about that of a<br />
diesel locomotive, but you can hear the standard audio system.<br />
Autoinsider.com summarized the off road capabilities well.<br />
They wrote “The test course covered some of the toughest terrain –<br />
so steep, deep and undulating that you’d think twice about covering<br />
it on foot. Yet the Defender lapped it up, rocking from side to side<br />
over tree roots but plodding on unmoved. When it eventually came<br />
unstuck it was down to a lack of driver technique – it scaled the<br />
19
muddy slope on the forth attempt, despite each previous go making it more and more slippery. If you reach the limit of the Defender’s<br />
abilities, you’re either mad or very lost indeed.”<br />
Autocar.uk observed that “off-road, the domain it has ruled for nearly 60 years, the Defender is now more mind-meltingly able than<br />
ever. This is a car that will tackle a 45-degree slope going forwards or backwards. It will wade through water half a metre deep without<br />
modification and traverse a 35-degree hill. Its approach and departure angles are both an astounding 47 degrees. A Jeep Wrangler,<br />
perhaps its closest conceptual rival, offers just 38 and 32 degrees respectively. These extraordinary stats combine with its huge ground<br />
clearance and compact wheelbase to give rock-hopping qualities most alleged off-roaders simply couldn’t imagine. Low range,<br />
unswitchable traction control (optional with ABS) and differential locks complete the picture.”<br />
The 2007 Defender is “a vehicle for farms, outbacks, jungles and deserts that, for all its flaws, has a very real role in the world today.<br />
It is better than ever at those things it needs to be good at, and as useless as it has always been at everything else.” Oh, yes, it still has a<br />
rear external power take-off.<br />
Hello, Ford – this is America calling. Send us the Defender!<br />
_______ ________<br />
It really does not matter if Ford sells a lot of Defenders in our market,<br />
because the draw they will create for retailers will only increase the awareness,<br />
intrest, and sales of other Land <strong>Rover</strong> models.<br />

Recently, the New York Times quoted Nicole<br />
Farhi, a French designer working in London.<br />
She owns a 1956 Mercedes 190 cabriolet and<br />
claims “no one else is allowed to drive it. Old<br />
cars only recognize one driver. You have to<br />
know how to coax it. I drive my Mercedes<br />
every day to my office off or Carnaby St., and<br />
always get a lot of thumbs-up.”<br />
Series Land <strong>Rover</strong> owners will recognize<br />
the validity of her statements. Even <strong>Range</strong><br />
<strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> and Discovery owners can find<br />
themselves having to give more detailed<br />
instructions than “make certain you put gas<br />
in it” when they loan out their <strong>Rover</strong>s. I have<br />
let others drive my two Series II-As, but never<br />
with enthusiasm or confidence. An offer to<br />
“take my car” is accompanied by a long list<br />
of starting, accelerating and stopping<br />
instructions that usually lead the recipient to<br />
say, “Never mind, I’ll walk.” Even in rain,<br />
snow and sleet! If they do summon up the<br />
courage to drive it, they watch me cringe with<br />
a discomforting combination of anguish and<br />
fright.<br />
When you do loan out the <strong>Rover</strong>, it will<br />
never drive as you predict. When you insist<br />
the clutch action is smooth, it will lurch. If<br />
you state it shifts easily, it will grind in every<br />
gear. <strong>Rover</strong>s recognize only one driver; any<br />
alternate driver will feel as though they’re still<br />
working on their Learners Permit. You really<br />
do need to know “how to coax it.”<br />

BEHIND THESTEERING WHEEL<br />
By Jeffrey B. Aronson<br />
What is undeniable is that if you drive<br />
your Land <strong>Rover</strong> every day, you will get<br />
thumbs-up from a huge range of people, on<br />
Carnaby St. or Main St.<br />
_______ ________<br />
In the 1960’s, tweed flat cap sorts argued<br />
endlessly about “what is a sports car” Most<br />
agreed that agility, handling, great road feel,<br />
simplicity and functionality, were critical<br />
qualities. Physics would dictate that light<br />
weight would be important. That in turn<br />
meant a small engine of simple yet durable<br />
construction – you needed to be able to tune<br />
it easily when you took it to the track or to a<br />
rally on the weekends. The car would be<br />
small so it could remain light and nimble.<br />
Light weight also mitigated against much<br />
weather protection, thus the “hankie in the<br />
wind” tops common to MG’s, Triumphs and<br />
Austin-Healys.<br />
Driver involvement was also a crucial<br />
factor. No need to isolate the driver from the<br />
road underneath the car; he would want to<br />
feel every bump or dip. A short-throw manual<br />
transmission, correctly placed pedals,<br />
informative instrumentation, and hip-hugging<br />
seats would increase your involvement.<br />
Passenger comfort or convenience played<br />
only the smallest role- the Porche 912 of the<br />
‘70’s didn’t even offer an adjustment on the<br />
passenger’s seat.<br />
This debate arose after sports car manufacturers<br />
found their markets being devoured<br />
by cars that met consumer demands for comfort,<br />
speed, reliability, size and styling without<br />
the discomfort, noise and barebones feel of<br />
the classic sports car. Putting a 4-speed manual<br />
transmission or bucket seats in a Pontiac<br />
Tempest or a Ford Mustang did not make<br />
them sports cars, but it did jack up volume<br />
sales of those models. Most of the body panels,<br />
frames, engines and other components<br />
were shared with the family sedan counterparts<br />
of the same manufacturer. That kept<br />
costs low, making British cars- with a high<br />
pound/dollar exchange rate even more<br />
expensive in comparison.<br />
Welcome to the 21rst century when Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> finds that the highly adaptable, utilitarian,<br />
elemental Defender shares its platform<br />
with no other Land <strong>Rover</strong> product. It requires<br />
more labor time, paid for in those expensive<br />
British pounds, than its other Land <strong>Rover</strong><br />
cousins. Volume might be the answer except<br />
for the cost of manufacture and the inability<br />
for the current model to meet US legislative<br />
and regulatory standards.<br />
What’s providing volume sales for Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> are the <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Sport, <strong>Range</strong><br />
<strong>Rover</strong>, LR3 and LR2. These vehicles are profitable<br />
for Land <strong>Rover</strong> [and Ford] but they<br />
create their own dilemmas for Land <strong>Rover</strong>.<br />
Some might become Land <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts,<br />
but honestly, a vehicle requiring a computer<br />
system to diagnose running problems is not<br />
going to be the first choice for remote fieldwork.<br />
They’re purchased by owners whose<br />
needs are for family transport, daily commuting,<br />
vacation trips and high speed highway<br />
driving. They are fascinating vehicles in terms<br />
of engineering and off-road orientation. The<br />
care and feeding of this new Land <strong>Rover</strong><br />
owner – who expect annual updates and<br />
enhancements – might just soak up Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>’s resources that otherwise might go to<br />
making the Defender available for the US<br />
market.<br />
How badly do Land <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts<br />
want a Defender back in the US The price<br />
asked for 1993 Defender 110’s and the ’93-<br />
’98 Defender 90’s tells us that both models’<br />
popularity remain enormous. Visually, the<br />
Defender never strayed far from the purposeful<br />
look of the Series I – III Land <strong>Rover</strong>s. In<br />
terms of engineering, the Defender stretched<br />
the extraordinary capabilities of the Series<br />
models even further. Our relatively low fuel<br />
prices meant that we received the exceptional<br />
3.5/3.9 liter <strong>Rover</strong> V-8, which gave the<br />
Defender the acceleration and highway speed<br />
necessary for living large in the USA. In the<br />
‘90’s, we bought every Defender brought in –<br />
the problem for Land <strong>Rover</strong> was that the<br />
annual total rarely exceeded 1,500. That’s not<br />
really enough volume to assure updates to<br />
meet regulatory changes.<br />
Ah, those darned regulations – like<br />
airbags, side curtains, and more. For example<br />
in April, 2007, the federal government<br />
announced that all new passenger vehicles
sold in the US will be required to have antirollover<br />
technology by the 2012 model year.<br />
We haven’t even begun to review the emissions<br />
standards that keep Land <strong>Rover</strong>’s outstanding<br />
diesels out of the US market.<br />
When General Motors threatened to buy<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong> in the 1960’s, British enthusiasts<br />
rebelled and led Land <strong>Rover</strong> convoys to<br />
protest the possible takeover. If Americans<br />
want the Defender back in the US, maybe we<br />
need a convoy to Irvine, CA, to let Land <strong>Rover</strong><br />
know of our deepest desires.<br />
_______ ________<br />
Frank Twarog, Hinesburg, VT has the<br />
desire. He’s a lot younger but we’re both<br />
graduates of the University of Vermont. When<br />
Frank became a student, I taught courses in<br />
the History Department. He owned a Series<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong> and hung around <strong>Rover</strong>s North<br />
when he should have been in the library.<br />
Frank was one of the first people to share my<br />
joy when a <strong>Rover</strong>s North 2.25 rebuild was<br />
dropped into the QE I. During the ‘90s, he’s<br />
writing articles for the <strong>Rover</strong>s North News and<br />
soon after, landed a sales position with the<br />
company. A Defender 90 followed, as did a<br />
family and a new profession as a lawyer in<br />
Burlington, VT.<br />
Recently, Frank sent photocopies of a<br />
1966 and 1973 Vermont business directory<br />
featuring Burlington’s Land <strong>Rover</strong> dealer. In<br />
1966, Lakeview Buick, Inc., sold Buick, Opel<br />
[Buick’s captive import] and Land <strong>Rover</strong>.<br />
Their multistory building was on Burlington’s<br />
hilly Main Street, and you drove up a ramp to<br />
get to the service department on the second<br />
floor. As a college student during that time, I<br />
remember ogling at the one Land <strong>Rover</strong> in the<br />
showroom window. As my Morris Minor had<br />
cost me $400, a new Land <strong>Rover</strong> seemed like<br />
an impossible stretch to me.<br />
By 1973, Lakeview Buick had followed<br />
its competitors to the suburbs and opened a<br />
spacious new dealership about 3 miles away.<br />
Without the view of Lake Champlain, they had<br />
morphed into Lake Buick. By that time, UVM<br />
was employing me at a salary scale that continued<br />
to assure me that I would remain<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>-less. Still, I would drive my Simca out<br />
to Lake Buick to stare at the Land <strong>Rover</strong>s.<br />
Frank sent a note accompanying the<br />
photocopies. “Drove by Lake Buick<br />
today…they’re tearing it down.” It was a<br />
quaint time when <strong>Rover</strong> of North America,<br />
and later, British Leyland, threw their products<br />
into the mix with other marques. Long<br />
before the Sales Guides wore wrinkled khaki<br />
shirts and expedition boots, they wore slick<br />
polyester shirts and white boots. “Did you<br />
want a vinyl roof with that Electra 2.25, sir”<br />
_______ ________<br />
In April I conversed with correspondent<br />
Randy Dickson of White River Junction, VT.<br />
When I asked him “what’s your job” he<br />
responded with a short answer. “I’m an<br />
industrial arts teacher,” he said. Then he<br />
asked me the same question. Oh, boy, this is<br />
going to take a while.<br />
Like many people in Maine and throughout<br />
northern New England, I have multiple<br />
jobs, depending on the seasons. Painting<br />
houses, caretaking<br />
summer properties,<br />
wood cutting and<br />
clearing are best<br />
accomplished in<br />
drier, warmer<br />
weather. In northern<br />
New England, that<br />
means late spring,<br />
summer or early<br />
fall. Fortunately for<br />
me, I have other<br />
jobs - editing this<br />
magazine, assisting at our local school, building<br />
web sites, public humanities programs<br />
and bartending. Reading, talking, surfing the<br />
web and drinking occur year round.<br />
Summer people have commented to me<br />
that my two ’66 Series II-A’s are perfect vehicles<br />
for the island. Unknowingly they treat the<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong>s as if they were delicate antiques,<br />
unable to withstand the rigors of daily use.<br />
Wrong! The Station Wagon and the Hardtop<br />
are perfect vehicles for island use, but<br />
because of different qualities.<br />
This cool spring has meant that fetching<br />
wood for the stove has been a steady need.<br />
Fold up the rear seats in the station wagon,<br />
remove the ammo box [my version of the<br />
fabled “Continental Touring Kit”] and the<br />
crate full of “Car in A Can” fluids, and you<br />
have a lot of room in which to stuff firewood.<br />
In April, a new summer family came into<br />
the bar for food and drink. They’re<br />
Connecticut residents building a summer<br />
home on newly-cleared waterfront. My ears<br />
perked up – what are you doing with the<br />
logged trees In fact, they had some local<br />
brothers clear the land and cut the trees into<br />
log length already. If they didn’t want the<br />
wood, I was free to drive down and take it. A<br />
phone call the next day cleared the way for<br />
me to add to my depleted woodpile.<br />
When I arrived at the lane to their lot, I<br />
got out of the <strong>Rover</strong> to walk the land. It sloped<br />
down steadily towards the rocky shore. The<br />
ground was quite soft with runoff, but I<br />
noticed some ledge and rocks in the ground<br />
that should provide solid footing. I got back<br />
in the <strong>Rover</strong> and drove down in first gear low<br />
range to the wood stacked near the shore. I<br />
loaded up the <strong>Rover</strong> with wood stacked nearly<br />
to the roof. Then I headed back up the hill.<br />
English magazines will tell often about<br />
the challenges of off roading in slippery<br />
grassy fields. They’re right. My route required<br />
that I turn left and then head up a steep rise<br />
with no room to gain momentum. The <strong>Rover</strong>’s<br />
wheel started to spin in first low range.<br />
Shifting into second lessened the wheelspin<br />
but I couldn’t get enough speed to make it up<br />
the hill. I considered shifting into high range<br />
4-wheel drive but I knew that first gear would<br />
be too low for the entire run up the hill; shifting<br />
a non-synchro II-A on the fly just looses<br />
momentum.<br />
After a few tries I could see ruts forming<br />
in the field, so I got out of the car to plan a<br />
different route. I had no desire to empty the<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> of wood – it had taken too much energy<br />
to stuff it in. Taking a longer way round<br />
would give me more room for momentum,<br />
but take me across potentially softer ground.<br />
Just in case, I knew I had my Hi-Lift for assistance,<br />
so I gave the new route a try.<br />
Fortunately, it worked!<br />

TECH LINE<br />
[<strong>Rover</strong>s North staff receive phone calls daily asking for technical<br />
advice, parts and accessory recommendations, off roading questions,<br />
maintenance tips and repair diagnoses. Between calls, we<br />
asked the <strong>Rover</strong>s North staff to share some recent technical questions<br />
with us –ed.]<br />
Steve Haskell (’93 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong>)<br />
Maintenance of the braking systems on <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s, Defenders and<br />
Discoverys often involves installing new disc pads and turning rotors.<br />
All too often, you put it all back together only to find that you’re listening<br />
to squealing every time you apply the brakes. How can you<br />
avoid this problem<br />
As a Porche and Audi mechanic, I found myself frustrated by customers<br />
who disliked the noise emanating from their newly installed<br />
brakes. So I contacted Raybestos experts for advice.<br />
First, recognize that when brake rotors are turned [to level off<br />
their surfaces], they often become magnetic. Most enthusiasts and/or<br />
mechanics will rinse the rotors off quickly with distilled water or<br />
brake cleaner. The problem is that the surface never gets clean this<br />
way because the magnetism keeps metal shavings from the machining<br />
firmly attached to the surface.<br />
Step 1 - their recommendation to me was to use dishwashing<br />
liquid to create soapy water. Wash the rotors in the water and you’ll<br />
feel the rotor filings in the mix. Clean them this way first, and then<br />
spray a light coat of conventional brake cleaner.<br />
Step 2 – Use synthetic caliper grease sold at parts stores [e.g,<br />
Permatex or similar brands] rather than the normal grease, on the<br />
back of the brake pads. Brakes surfaces reach 400 – 500 degrees F;<br />
if you’re using antiseize compounds or conventional grease on the<br />
back of the pads, they will likely melt and drip off.<br />
Mike Koch (ex- MOD Series III 109”)<br />
Electrical problems can bedevil enthusiasts, particularly when the<br />
Previous Owner left no schematics in the car when it was sold.<br />
Recently, a customer called about his newly-purchased 2000 <strong>Range</strong><br />
<strong>Rover</strong>. It had Hella lights installed on the brush bar. The Hellas were<br />
wired to go on only when the high beams were engaged; however, the<br />
lights would only stay on when the owner actually held his finger on<br />
the switch. If he released the switch, the Hellas shut off.<br />
Step 1 - The starting point must be to trace the wiring from the<br />
brush bar though the grill.<br />
Step 2 - Look to see if a relay was installed; ideally, that will be<br />
the case.<br />
Step 3 - Test the relay to see if it works correctly.<br />
Step 4 - Test the switch for the Hella lights to determine if it is<br />
working properly<br />
My key point is that if you don’t take the time to trace the wiring,<br />
or have it done for you, you will not be able to diagnose the problem<br />
effectively. Replacing a part right off the bat is generally ineffective in<br />
electrical problems.<br />
A customer called with concerns that their gearbox had become<br />
stiff and difficult to engage smoothly. What steps should they take<br />
Step 1- It sounds so basic, but often this problem results from<br />
low hypoid oil levels in the gearbox. Check the level by removing the<br />
fill plug on the left side of the transmission case. More often than not,<br />
it’s quite low. If you can find any to examine, you want to see a glossy<br />
brown color. If you run the oil between your fingers, you should not<br />
feel grit or metal filings. If your fluid is quite dark consider draining<br />
it out and replacing it with new gear oil. If it’s milky, then it’s contaminated<br />
with moisture.<br />
Step 2 – Check the transfer case, too. That fill plug is on the back<br />
side of the transfer case, behind the transmission. If it is low, then fill<br />
it to level. Hint -if it gushes out at you and you have found the transmission<br />
down in level, then you have a bad seal between the transmission<br />
and the transfer case. Know that you will have to fill the transmission<br />
and release some from the transfer case until you remove both<br />
from the car and replace the seal.<br />
Step 4 – Make certain that your clutch fluid level is up to the fill<br />
line in the clutch reservoir. Look at the fluid color –if it’s gray or dark,<br />
you might have disintegration of the rubber seals inside the clutch<br />
master cylinder. Your fluid level will be normal but the clutch action<br />
will feel ineffective rather than spongy. Fluid is likely leaking past ineffective<br />
seals.<br />
Step 5 - If the fluid color is light brown and you have a firm<br />
pedal, then crawl underneath the right side of the car beneath the<br />
slave cylinder. If you have a Series I, II or II-A, you want to make certain<br />
that the adjustment nuts at the slave cylinder rod are at the correct<br />
length. The distance between the top of the slave cylinder to the<br />
adjustment nut [the top one of the two on the pushrod] will be 2 7/8<br />
inches. Use a set of calipers or even an elementary school compass to<br />
effect the measurement.<br />
Step 5 – If the fluid level in your reservoir is down, and you don’t<br />
have a firm pedal, then you might have a leak at the slave cylinder.<br />
Check for fluid leaks around the slave cylinder, or at the point where<br />
the rubber clutch line screws into the slave cylinder. Slave cylinders<br />
can be rebuilt, but you’ll need to make certain that the inner surfaces<br />
are very smooth and clean. If you have much pitting inside the cylinder,<br />
a rebuild kit probably won’t work.<br />
A customer replaced a Zenith carburetor with a Weber 34 ICH<br />
on a ’72 Series II-A. Why will it run only when the choke cable is<br />
pulled out<br />
Step 1 - Make certain that you have adjusted the mixture screw<br />
to the factory setting. Turn the mixture screw [the long screw at the<br />
bulkhead side of the carburetor] in all the way, and then back it off 2<br />
½ turns.<br />
Step 2 – Make certain that the carb is tightly installed on the<br />
intake manifold. Make certain that the top carb cover screws [there<br />
are 4] are tight, also.<br />
38
Step 3 – Check the intake manifold for leaks between the manifold<br />
and the block. There are several bolts and nuts that hold the<br />
manifold to the block. Engine vibration can loosen them. Remember<br />
that there are 3 nuts underneath the manifold that cannot be seen.<br />
Find them with your fingers and use a ½ inch socket to tighten them.<br />
If the car will run, spray WD 40 or PB Blaster along the gasket<br />
between the manifold and block. If the rpm changes slightly, you have<br />
an intake leak that will require you to replace the gasket.<br />
Step 4 – Check your ignition timing. First, make certain the<br />
points are gapped correctly at .14 - .16 thousandths. Secondly, use a<br />
timing light to set the timing. If the timing is too retarded, the engine<br />
will feel sluggish and you’ll be tempted to enrichen the mixture. If the<br />
timing is too advanced, the engine will often run too hot and will run<br />
on or “diesel” when it’s shut off.<br />
Les Parker (Series III Lightweight, ’97 Discovery 4.0<br />
5-speed manual, ’92 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Hunter Edition,<br />
’88 <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> [for off roading], Defender 90 awaiting<br />
a 300 Tdi)<br />
After major work on engines, it’s often necessary to set the<br />
engine timing up anew. To accomplish this on a car with a distributor,<br />
it’s best to use a technique called static timing. Here’s how you<br />
accomplish this.<br />
Step 1 – Remove the ignition wire from the coil to prevent an<br />
accidental start. Put the gearbox in neutral and engage the handbrake.<br />
Step 2 – Remove the valve cover so you can see the pushrods.<br />
When the pushrod for cylinder #1 [the one closest to the radiator] is<br />
relaxed, you’re at top dead center. Then, make certain that the rotor<br />
arm on the distributor is pointing towards the #1 cylinder.<br />
Step 3- You should now be able to replace the ignition wire to<br />
the coil and start the motor. It should be easier to time it now.<br />
Many enthusiasts love their 24v military vehicles until they<br />
require ignition parts. Then they discover that 24v parts can be difficult<br />
to find and/or more expensive that they wish to spend. One solution<br />
is to convert the ignition portion of the electrical system from 24<br />
to 12 volts. Here’s a checklist:<br />
Step 1 – Order a <strong>Rover</strong>s North Proline PLE143 distributor, which<br />
comes complete with cap, rotor, points, and condenser. Also, you’ll<br />
want to order a distributor base plate and gasket to replace the different-sized<br />
one used on 24 volt systems.<br />
Step 2 – Determine whether you have a 7:1 compression ratio<br />
head or an 8:1 head. Most of the ex-military vehicles were 7:1 heads;<br />
if the head has been rebuilt, it has probably been machined into an<br />
8:1 ratio. 7:1 heads use an RNE 619 sparkplug; 8:1 heads use an RNE<br />
630 sparkplug.<br />
Step 3 – Order a Genuine Land <strong>Rover</strong> spark plug wire set [RNC<br />
524]. When you replace the wires, remember that Land <strong>Rover</strong> distributors<br />
rotate counterclockwise. The firing order of 1-3-4-2 goes<br />
around towards the left, not the right.<br />
Step 4 – Replace the coil with an RNE 522. The ignition wire to<br />
the coil will come from a box attached to the valve cover; you’re looking<br />
for a white wire.<br />
With these changes, your ignition system becomes 12 volts but<br />
the remainder of your electrical system (lights, wiper motors, etc.)<br />
will still be 24 volts.<br />

Discovery-<br />
The Next Series <strong>Rover</strong><br />
Story by: Randy Dickson<br />
[Randy Dickson, White River Junction, VT, once taught auto<br />
mechanics to vocational high school students. Once electronic<br />
ignitions took over, he chose to become an Industrial Arts teacher<br />
of woodworking in middle schools. Along with his Sheltie, Molly,<br />
he’s an avid local history buff who raises a significant issue with<br />
us –ed.]<br />
My family purchased a 1969 Series II-A 88” SW, the short-term “bug<br />
eye” model. My father selected it to replace a Willys Station Wagon<br />
with the flathead 6-cylinder. The Willys performed well but had lost a<br />
battle to the rapid rust of Cape Cod sand and salt. It probably didn’t<br />
help that we drove through salt water to our home when there was a<br />
full moon tide! Dad liked the idea of the <strong>Rover</strong>’s aluminum alloy body,<br />
and the 4-speed gearbox [Willys and early AMC Jeeps had only 3-<br />
speed gearboxes -ed]. It was Land <strong>Rover</strong> green, had the rear seats for<br />
four (child-size), and a bonnet-mounted spare.<br />
I learned to drive in that truck well before I turned 16. Dad gave<br />
me permission to take the keys from the dish on the desk, and off I<br />
would go on the back roads of South Orleans. It was amazing to drive<br />
a new 88”! Everything felt in-sych, even the gearbox! Our Land <strong>Rover</strong><br />
performed many family duties: it served as a commuter vehicle,<br />
moved the boats, made dump runs, completed yard chores, and of<br />
course, took us on family outings down Nauset Beach and back.<br />
The Land <strong>Rover</strong> was a common sight in the Orleans area of Cape<br />
Cod, MA, as we had a local dealer, Orleans Motors, on the town cove.<br />
Certainly our <strong>Rover</strong> benefited from their care. When Land <strong>Rover</strong> left<br />
the North American market in 1974, Orleans Motors became an<br />
International Scout dealer. Sadly, the last I saw of the Orleans Motors<br />
building, it was a retail clothing shop.<br />
Running a Series Land <strong>Rover</strong> today as a daily driver is a challenge.<br />
Many of us who lived with a Series Land <strong>Rover</strong> upgraded it to<br />
some modern standards. After all, we need our cup holders, fog lights<br />
and roof racks. When we approach the safety side of things, we enter<br />
into more challenging territory. We desire contemporary seat belts,<br />
power assist and/or disc brake conversions, better lighting, and<br />
engine performance that matches today’s highway driving. These<br />
upgrades can become costly. I’ve been recently considering purchasing<br />
a Series pickup but then I know I’ll want to change it (a lot!) once<br />
it’s in the driveway.<br />
What can be as versatile, as effective and as fun as a Series but<br />
already incorporate modern engineering Perhaps the answer lies<br />
with the next <strong>Rover</strong> to hold the Series nomenclature, the Discovery.<br />
Since I have a good Discovery I, named “Tigger,” perhaps it<br />
should become my next Series <strong>Rover</strong>. Tigger arrived in 1994, the first<br />
year in North America for the Discovery. The ‘94 was a one-model<br />
year for the US market. There were limited options – color schemes,<br />
rear jump seats or not, automatic or 5-speed standard [the only US<br />
model with a manual transmission]. It came equipped with many<br />
of the features and mechanicals we sometimes want to add to our<br />
Series vehicles (don’t lie now - admit it!)<br />
There’s no shortage of the first model Discoverys, now called<br />
Discovery Series I’s. They were both produced in high numbers for<br />
their day (65,444 Discovery I’s were sold in the US from 1994 to<br />
1999). There are many to choose from on the used car market; parts<br />
and upgrades are plentiful.<br />
Here are 10 good reasons to consider a Discovery in lieu of your<br />
next classic Series vehicle. First, they cruise at 65 MPH with a lot less<br />
drivetrain noise. Secondly, I’m a fan of cruise control for interstate<br />
driving. It’s also hard not to love the <strong>Rover</strong> V-8’s overall power and<br />
smoothness.<br />
48
I have to admit that I’ve become a fan of the Land <strong>Rover</strong> automatic<br />
for both on-road and off-road driving. The electronic ignition system<br />
has never let me down. The power assisted disc brakes come<br />
with an antilock feature for safety in ice and snow. The coil spring<br />
suspension with the anti-sway bars assures additional safety in all<br />
weather conditions. My Discovery has great road manners, helped by<br />
the wider 58.8” track. It’s been great right out of the box in off-road<br />
situations, too, and there are plenty of off-road options if I want to<br />
upgrade the vehicle.<br />
Finally, the Discovery has all of the creature comforts that have<br />
become necessities for a modern daily driver - multi-speed wipers<br />
and windshield washers, truly effective heater and defroster systems,<br />
rear window wipers, door locks that lock, doors that shut tight, quiet<br />
and calm interiors, inertia reel seat belts and air bags.<br />
No - I’m not busting on our beloved Series I, II, IIA, or Series III.<br />
They all do their truck chores with ease, are mechanically simple<br />
(except those damn drum brakes - simple yes, just not easy for me!),<br />
and are supported by every upgrade you can think of. Well - not the<br />
aerodynamics package of course!<br />
But as we upgrade our Series to a Disco I (or to <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>)<br />
specs., why not get a Disco Why not They are plentiful, relatively<br />
cheep, lack the modern computer problems (well - most of the problems...),<br />
and are driver friendly on long trips and around town.<br />
This was my thought process when confronted with this difficult<br />
choice. Mind you, I loved my beautiful 1967 Series-IIA 109” 5-door<br />
SW. With a new galvanized frame, it had a sweet-running 4-cylinder<br />
with overdrive and a capstan winch to boot. But the 109” was not fully<br />
up to the task I had in mind for it. Sure, it would hold many paying<br />
customers, their canoes and gear piled onto a trailer, but not really at<br />
highway speeds and certainly not up to contemporary safety expectations.<br />
So, the more I thought of all the changes required to upgrade<br />
this beautiful old ‘67 Series II-A, the more I realized it was loosing its<br />
unique character. The reality that there would not be much left of the<br />
original truck by the time it met my expectations. So the seven seat<br />
Disco appeared to be the solution with its ability to carry seven, travel<br />
at 65 mph, go off-road, and leave the 109” original.<br />
The Discovery, like the 109”, had to perform dual roles of onroad<br />
transport and off-road trail tours - which it did with ease, in<br />
stock form. The only place the Disco fell short was inevitable. It just<br />
did not look the part of pure “Safari” as the 109” did. But then again,<br />
what vehicle does look African Safari more than a 109” station<br />
wagon<br />
The Discovery, when purchased, was locked out of low range as<br />
many of them are - as it was a “grocery getter” in its previous life, low<br />
range had never been engaged. One sun roof would not move from<br />
the “shut’ position, but it’s fixed now. Otherwise, it’s been a great<br />
investment. I’ve left it fairly stock except for a home made bumper<br />
bar to hold the “High-Lift” jack, pull line, etc., a ladder and 2/3 roof<br />
rack, and a tad bit of black paint - Camel Trophy style! It 3may be in<br />
for some tweaks by the end of this summer, as its last trip had the<br />
front spoiler being used as a “dirt scoop” on the trails.<br />
In these days of nearly $4.00 premium fuel, gas mileage can<br />
become depressing. My Discovery’s EPA rating is 16 mpg highway, 13<br />
city. That’s about the same as my Series II-A 109” used to get, too. The<br />
average 2007 small four cylinder pickup with DOHC engine and<br />
numerous other efficiency enhancing features is only rated at 18/21<br />
mpg city/highway. So our older 3.9 liter push-rod engine does not<br />
look that bad after all – and the pickup will not seat as many people.<br />
As the consummate people-hauler, as an excellent tow vehicle, as<br />
a superbly competent off roader, and a brilliant daily driver for contemporary<br />
use, consider the Discovery as the logical successor to the<br />
classic Series <strong>Rover</strong>. If you have the choice, you might keep your classic<br />
Series <strong>Rover</strong> closer to original (with a few tweaks of course!) and<br />
accept its limitations on the back roads, and have a Discovery for<br />
everything else.<br />

My <strong>Rover</strong> and Me<br />
Story & Photos by Amy Langevin<br />
[Amy Langevin, Cumberland, ME, lives with her husband John and<br />
children Collin, Conor, Christian and Aynsley. Asked often by her<br />
children, “Why can’t you be more normal like other Moms,” she<br />
refuses to conform to what society expects from a 40-something<br />
Director of Health and Wellness at the University of New England.<br />
Here’s her story –ed.]<br />
It wasn’t until recently that I became hooked on Land <strong>Rover</strong>s. As a<br />
young child, I spent my summers in the shade of a ’47 Willy’s Jeep<br />
during our visits to Little Pleasant Bay, in East Orleans, on Cape Cod<br />
(I consider those my formative 4x4 years). As I walked along Nauset<br />
Beach, I always loved looking at all the “beach buggies,” especially<br />
the Volkswagen-based buggies that seemed to have no problem with<br />
the sand without four wheel drive! In later years, I would see various<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s navigating the deep sands of the outer beach, but never really<br />
gave them a second glance.<br />
My love affair with <strong>Rover</strong>s began with the acquisition of a ’97<br />
Discovery XD Camel Trophy edition (screaming yellow!). When I met<br />
John, I was driving a trusty but dowdy domestic minivan sporting<br />
210,000 miles. I was in deep denial of the actual state of that vehicle,<br />
but with great prodding and convincing from my husband, I<br />
reluctantly donated it to charity and assumed the wheel of the aforementioned<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>. I immediately dubbed it my “boyfriend car”. With<br />
its bright exterior and extensive off-road packaging, I likened my<br />
driving it to a high school girl wearing the football star’s letter jacket…it’s<br />
a bit big and obviously made for someone else. I have never<br />
officially been off-road in this <strong>Rover</strong>. Not unless you count the night<br />
we came home from a party and I decided to take a few tours around<br />
the yard, just to see what it was like. I do hope to someday test the<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>’s mettle off-road.<br />
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the other <strong>Rover</strong> my husband<br />
owned at the time. It was a cherry red soft-top D-90, also a ’97. It<br />
was his pride and joy. As with all vehicles we fall in love with, he too<br />
was in denial about its functionality. Listed on the title as “Totaled,”<br />
the previous owner had taken it for a swim without the benefit of a<br />
snorkel. My husband bought the Defender (and the XD) from Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> Scarborough. The story of the D-90 is longer and more<br />
involved, but essentially the original owner (name unknown) totaled<br />
it, then another gentleman from Cumberland bought it from an insurance<br />
company and restored it (mostly).<br />
50
In 2000, John happened to be at Land <strong>Rover</strong> Scarborough at the<br />
same time as the Defender’s owner. My husband promptly offered to<br />
buy it. He owned the D-90 for about three years, and sadly had a lot<br />
of trouble with it (replaced the transmission, brakes, had numerous<br />
electrical problems, etc.). Despite all the problems, he LOVED that<br />
vehicle. He wouldn’t even let me drive it! It just took more time and<br />
energy (and free-flowing cash) than he had at the time. When he<br />
went to get it inspected at the dealer for the last time, the estimate<br />
rose to $5,000.<br />
While John struggled emotionally and financially with the<br />
Defender, I soon discovered the benefits of driving a Discovery: great<br />
visibility, outstanding sound system, ability to go anywhere and over<br />
any terrain, and that bright yellow color - school buses are painted<br />
the same color because it’s the safest color on the road - plus the fact<br />
that it’s impossible to lose in a parking lot.<br />
I’m also impressed with the V-8 engine. I quickly learned that<br />
boxy 4x4s are fully capable of passing other cars with alarmingly high<br />
bursts of speed. The first time I went to pass someone on a two-lane<br />
country road, I forgot that I was not in my underpowered six-cylinder<br />
minivan, and simply put the pedal to the metal. I soon remembered<br />
where I was when the <strong>Rover</strong> ROARED to life and literally shot out<br />
from under me! It felt like I was left sitting in the back seat, holding<br />
the steering wheel while trying to control this latent beast I just<br />
unleashed. Quite an eye-opener!<br />
It wasn’t long before my teenage sons caught <strong>Rover</strong> fever.<br />
Whether they appreciated the superior craftsmanship and the whole<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> legend I’m not sure, but I do know for certain they liked the<br />
attention this over-the-top vehicle brought them. It’s a head-turner<br />
with the high school crowd, and they soon requested to be picked up<br />
at school in it. When it came time for Driver’s Ed, I decided that my<br />
15 year old Conor should have a taste of the <strong>Rover</strong> experience, and<br />
took him for a test-drive in the local graveyard (who could he hurt).<br />
As <strong>Rover</strong> drivers know, handling one is a completely different experience.<br />
And as I now know, letting your inexperienced teenage son<br />
drive one in a graveyard is not the best idea. We didn’t realize how<br />
close they put those gravestones to the road, especially on the turns!<br />
(Note: no gravestones were harmed, but I imagine the groundskeeper<br />
was busy the next day filling in the ruts).<br />
The appeal of the XD Camel Trophy Edition spread to other areas<br />
of my life. I teach at a University, where I here such comments as,<br />
“Oh, I’ve always wondered who drove that pimped-out <strong>Rover</strong>!” from<br />
my students. Occasionally, I’ll hear other comments about how much<br />
someone likes the vehicle, but in general the XD seems to draw the<br />
high-testosterone crowd. Speaking of my husband, he remains a<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> fanatic through and through. Even though the D-90 is long<br />
gone, we still take photos of other <strong>Rover</strong>s when on vacation. For<br />
instance, a high percentage of our Caribbean photos are of island<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong>s, and they’re as much of a draw to him as the turquoise<br />
waters and balmy breezes.<br />
But despite all the bells, whistles and muscular exterior, this<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong> the best car I’ve ever owned. The yellow XD paint shade<br />
color still clashes with my salon-blonde hair, and I’m not sure I would<br />
have picked this car out for myself initially; but I still wouldn’t give it<br />
up for anything - although those Caribbean-based Defender 110s do<br />
appeal to my feminine side. In the end, though, perhaps one day the<br />
XD will be passed down through the children, along with grandmother’s<br />
fine china.<br />

DOWN on the FARM<br />
Story & Photos by Jason Gottlilieb<br />
[Jason Gottlieb, Boston, MA, has “an affinity for clunky-looking<br />
metal contraptions.” This would explain the 30-year old’s<br />
fascination with his Series Land <strong>Rover</strong>s. He uses them on his<br />
family’s farm when he tires of his financial service webcasting<br />
position and urban cycling. Here’s how he keeps them down on<br />
the farm –ed.]<br />
Christmas morning – a time that, for me, is always much more about<br />
bringing together the people I care about and eating good food<br />
Back Bay in Boston, right downtown, so it’s great to be able to get<br />
away like this.<br />
It was the perfect day for it, and a nice way for me to spend my<br />
Christmas morning; I’d lost my grandfather this past year and, as we<br />
all know, Christmas brings these sorts of things to the forefront of our<br />
thoughts. Driving around the farm in a ’67 Land <strong>Rover</strong> was just what<br />
I needed to clear my head and put a smile back on my face.<br />
Returning to the house, I spotted something different, under a<br />
blue tarp, something roughly the size of a small car. My mind was a<br />
combined with lots of laughter. The days of looking forward to gifts<br />
have long passed for me. I feel I really have everything I could<br />
ever need and have moved in a direction of becoming much less<br />
“material” in the last several years.<br />
This Christmas, however, was different. I arrived at the “family<br />
farm” in Gilmanton, New Hampshire to spend a Christmas day<br />
roaming around in the ’67 Series II-A on the property. The 330-acre<br />
farm is a wonderful place to visit, as you can really get away from<br />
everything and there are plenty of difficult trails to explore. I live in<br />
bit preoccupied, so I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it.<br />
Walking back into the house, I received a set of very old-looking keys.<br />
I was guided out to the field where the mysterious car under the tarp<br />
was waiting. Pulling back the tarp, a beautiful (in my eyes) 1965<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> II-A 88” HT appeared. I was told it was a parts truck for me,<br />
that every single panel was pristine and would mate up exceptionally<br />
well with my ’67. The frame was completely rotten; in fact so much<br />
so that when the <strong>Rover</strong> was transported back to the farm, the<br />
“pull-downs” on the flatbed started actually pulling the frame in two.<br />
52
I studied the gray <strong>Rover</strong>, noting the original paint inside and the<br />
condition of the truck. Yes, this truck had sat for a very long time. Its<br />
inspection sticker read 1981, and I’m pretty sure that’s the last time<br />
it was run. The tires looked possibly original, the pedals had<br />
virtually no wear on the rubber, and the body was dent-free. Could it<br />
be that the 41K miles on the odometer were original<br />
I spent the next several weeks trying to decide if I really wanted<br />
to salvage this truck. After all, what a project it would be! And did I<br />
need another <strong>Rover</strong> Living in the heart of Boston, not even needing<br />
a car at all, does it make any sense that I already own a new FJ Cruiser<br />
replicar and a 1967 <strong>Rover</strong> II-A Now I’m thinking about restoring<br />
another <strong>Rover</strong> I blame it on car addiction. That’s really the only way<br />
I can justify all of this.<br />
With the help and prodding of various <strong>Rover</strong>s North forum board<br />
members, I soon realized that this truck was too good to part out. It<br />
was basically a “barn-find” that unfortunately did not have a barn to<br />
For now, the gray <strong>Rover</strong> (original mid-grey, I’m told) sits quietly<br />
in a cold field in New Hampshire. This spring will begin a thorough<br />
cleaning. I have already hooked up a battery and determined all<br />
electronics, with the exception of wiper, function well. The starter<br />
kicks, but the engine seems stuck. That was last week. This<br />
weekend, after a week of sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil in the<br />
cylinders, I’ll give a good tug on the engine and see if I can turn<br />
it over.<br />
Enthusiasts like to think that <strong>Rover</strong>s are an “obsession,” but we<br />
know they’re an “addiction.” How else to explain my 14 hour drive<br />
to Michigan to pick up a tropical top for my current ’65 II-A Family<br />
responsibilities and my own preference for on-road safety keep me in<br />
a new, air bag equipped FJ (old truck appeal with contemporary<br />
engineering), but nothing can take away to feeling of driving a<br />
50-year old mechanical beast that you can work on yourself. Series<br />
<strong>Rover</strong>s are slow and they are unsafe in these modern times of<br />
protect it from rust. Even the original ashtray was there. The body<br />
had no dents. The tailgate was complete with all the bits. Even<br />
elephant hide - colored sheaths still encased the tailgate chains! All<br />
the elephant hide seats cushions and squabs sat proudly and a<br />
complete Kodiak heater stood ready to burn my passenger’s feet. The<br />
truck seemed to be begging to be brought back to life. No, I<br />
couldn’t part this truck out! It will become my summer project! She<br />
will ride again!<br />
go-go-go. They beat you up after even a fairly short drive. Yet, at the<br />
age of 30, I can’t get enough of them. I have a feeling this is only the<br />
beginning of a larger <strong>Rover</strong> collection (obsession/addiction). I’ll be<br />
writing more about the revival of my latest Land <strong>Rover</strong>. For now,<br />
though, send good <strong>Rover</strong> karma my way – I’m probably going to need<br />
it this summer!<br />

SIGHTINGS<br />
It’s spring in northern New England, which<br />
means that mud, crocuses, and the New York<br />
Yankees trying to buy yet another World Series<br />
can’t be far behind. When you want the get the<br />
attention of a winter-weary public, media giants<br />
and savvy marketers know you need a Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> somewhere in the scene. Once again there<br />
are superb entries that warrant emptying more of<br />
the crockery cupboards at <strong>Rover</strong>s North. As<br />
always, it’s helpful for rookies to review the rules<br />
for Sightings - it can be just as useful for the<br />
grizzled Sighting veterans as well.<br />
Rule # 1 - All Sightings receive recognition<br />
and our appreciation, but not necessarily a mug.<br />
We reward only those Sightings that capture the<br />
unique qualities of Land <strong>Rover</strong>s and their<br />
owners, and display them in an distinctive way.<br />
Rule #2 - If your Sighting does not really<br />
surprise you, it won’t surprise us, either, and thus<br />
we can=t award you a mug. We’re delighted, but<br />
not surprised, that Land <strong>Rover</strong>s appear in British<br />
television programmes, British publications,<br />
films with British themes, and shows about<br />
African safaris. You shouldn’t be surprised,<br />
either, and should consider looking for other<br />
ways to get a coffee mug.<br />
Rule #3 - At an ever-changing date before<br />
publication, we close off the Sightings. If we’ve<br />
mentioned the Sighting in an earlier issue, we<br />
won’t mention it again. If you’re new to the<br />
family of Land <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiasts, you may not<br />
have seen your Sighting in an earlier issue.<br />
Rule #4 - We’re not outfitting your kitchen.<br />
If you qualify, one mug per Sighting per issue.<br />
Rule #5- Sightings that are Land <strong>Rover</strong><br />
references in books go to our Literary Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> editor for mention, but only when space<br />
permits.<br />
Rule #6 - Psst... if we can’t read you name<br />
and address because of atrocious penmanship,<br />
we can’t recognize your Sighting nor send you a<br />
mug. Psst...E-mail submissions - remember we<br />
can’t send a mug by e-mail. Send us your real<br />
name and shipping address, too.<br />
Rule #7 - Grudgingly, very grudgingly, the<br />
Editor admits he might make an error. Let me<br />
know if you think you’ve been jobbed, but all<br />
decisions of the Editor are final.<br />
Catalogue marketers know that if you want<br />
to entice readers to pay attention, insert a Land<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> onto your cover and sprinkle extra photos<br />
throughout the publication. That’s what Sahalie<br />
did and a bevy of Sighters received this catalogue.<br />
Congratulations to Jeff Fisher, Wilmington, NC,<br />
Steve Ayers, Evansville, IL, Kelly<br />
Dunkelberger, Berthoud. CO, Ben<br />
Geissinger, Watertown, MN, Glenn Shriver,<br />
Chicago, IL, Charles Dooley, Dalton, PA,<br />
Ethan Drain, Killingsworth, CT, Keith<br />
Richardson, Woods Hole, MA, Jared<br />
McNabb, Boston, MA, Jim Young and Wendy<br />
McFarlane, Cornwall Bridge, CT, and Karen<br />
Peterson, Alloway, NJ.<br />
Julianne Milsom, Duvall, WA, noted the<br />
presence of Series <strong>Rover</strong> in the Boston Proper<br />
catalogue. The lithe women were wearing<br />
dresses and shoes that would hamper entry into<br />
II-A used in the photo shoot. Laura Espejo,<br />
Omaha, NE, found Land <strong>Rover</strong>s on the Life Is<br />
Good catalogue website. Greg Akin, Abilene,<br />
TX, noted that Land <strong>Rover</strong> San Antonio supplied<br />
a new <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> for the H.S. Trask leather<br />
goods catalogue. We’ve mentioned that EMS uses<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong>s in its catalogues; Alan Doloboff,<br />
Roslyn, NY and Eric Sousa [see Rule #6] found<br />
that those pages are reproduced on the EMS<br />
website, too. Jim Young and Wendy<br />
McFarlane, Cornwall Bridge, CT, noted that the<br />
British luxury goods manufacturer put a Series<br />
<strong>Rover</strong> on safari in their ad for Dunhill Pursuit<br />
cologne.<br />
Ameriprize sells financial products for<br />
people who understand what that means. Chuck<br />
Carrig, El Paso, TX, Peter Hope, Colorado<br />
Springs, CO, Brett Snyder, Satellite Beach, FL,<br />
Fred Behrens, Powaton, VA, Jim Gabor and<br />
Matt Weldon [see Rule<br />
#6] all spotted the TV ad.<br />
David Kessler,<br />
Worthington, OH, claims<br />
to have seen a Defender in<br />
an American Family<br />
Insurance ad.<br />
Kohl’s stores have<br />
moved east over the past<br />
few years. Their most<br />
recent newspaper flyers<br />
featured a Defender 90;<br />
implausibly, the male<br />
model wears white pants!<br />
Still, good job to Frank<br />
Twarog, Hinesburg, VT,<br />
Robert Wollschalger,<br />
Mystic, CT, Gail<br />
Ferguson, Pottstown, PA,<br />
and Patricia Jansen<br />
[see Rule #6].<br />
Atmosphere Sports in<br />
Montreal prominently<br />
featured a Series III<br />
County-striped Hardtop in<br />
their flyer, reports Victor<br />
Gould, Montreal,<br />
Quebec. Milton Milner,<br />
Hendersonville, NC,<br />
spotted a Napapijri ad with<br />
a <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> in<br />
the March Men’s Journal.<br />
Sika is a windshield<br />
adhesive caulk; when it<br />
ran a recent ad on extreme conditions, it chose a<br />
front shot of a new <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, notes Kim<br />
Conn, Snohomish, WA.<br />
Women’s Health magazine attracted male<br />
readers by using a lovely set of female legs,<br />
stretched out from underneath a Series II-A in<br />
Africa. It’s not a surprise but it was a delight to<br />
see. Matt Parro, Whitby, Ontario, Canada, and<br />
James Pitts, Dallas, GA, also spotted the page,<br />
entitled “The Average Woman – Road Warrior.”<br />
GQ Magazine ran an article on the “Go Anywhere<br />
Jacket” and put a Series <strong>Rover</strong> into the photo<br />
shoot. Dendy Jarrett, Nashville, TN, spotted the<br />
article and has promised this mug to his wife.<br />
Self Magazine ran an article on khaki<br />
clothing and decided that it needed a Series III to<br />
go along with the halter-topped female and the<br />
stubbled male model. What’s with shag rug<br />
steering wheel cover Joe Kordaiski,<br />
Westwood, KS, read the article while “desperate<br />
for reading material in the bathroom.” The<br />
Atlantic Monthly spruced up its appearance with<br />
a photo of a Series 109” 5-door crossing the<br />
Sahara. Bernard McMahon, Washington, DC,<br />
spotted the <strong>Rover</strong>s in this issue. He also noted the<br />
Argentine shooting preserve advertisement<br />
62
mentioned in an earlier issue.<br />
A tragic photo of an LR3, on its side in a<br />
creek, appeared in a Kansas City Star news story.<br />
David Allen, Kansas City, MO, recognized the<br />
silhouette of the new model in an accompanying<br />
photo. I tore myself away from the bare-breasted<br />
photos in Playboy to pay attention to the opposite<br />
side of the page, sent in by Jeff Foland,<br />
Clarksville, OH. That photo was of the Discovery<br />
II used by expeditioner Nick Baggerly in Australia.<br />
We note that Taco Bell is still running the ad<br />
with the talking lions and Series <strong>Rover</strong>, mentioned<br />
in an earlier issue but enjoyed by Vincent<br />
Coratello [see Rule #6]. Tanqueray Gin now<br />
uses a Series 109” SW in its latest TV campaign.<br />
Karl Orscheln, Springfield, MO and Kelly<br />
Horn, St. Joseph, MO, spotted the ad.<br />
Television shows love to spice up their<br />
offerings with Land <strong>Rover</strong>s. Greg<br />
Hollingworth, Colchester, CT, found a<br />
Defender 110 running contestants in an Amazing<br />
Race episode. Chris Whybres, Phoenix, AZ, and<br />
Matt Chelf, Wooster, OH, found a <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><br />
<strong>Classic</strong> on an episode of The Unit. Christopher<br />
Davis, Albuquerque, NM, found a <strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><br />
<strong>Classic</strong> in an episode of 24; Joshua McGuoirk,<br />
Philadelphia, PA, saw a Discovery I on the same<br />
show spinning its tires, “something I’ve been<br />
unable to replicate.”<br />
We’ve mentioned<br />
these shows before,<br />
but they still<br />
delighted our<br />
Spotters.<br />
New to this issue<br />
is the Doggie Day<br />
Care episode with a<br />
quick spot of a<br />
<strong>Range</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, seen<br />
by Jennifer<br />
Drugge, Beaufort<br />
SC. The use of a<br />
Land <strong>Rover</strong> on a<br />
geologic expedition<br />
to a volcano, and<br />
watching a CGI of<br />
volcanic ash bury it,<br />
