Hi all

Steve asks:

Whooooops. I didn't know there's a lot of "Series x" vehicles out there,
referred to as such. This one's a Land Rover. I'll change the .sig, maybe,
make it clearer :-)

I don't know which year it is, exactly, 'cause these things were shipped in
boxes and assembled locally. So LR UK don't know. But my brother has the
original papers somewhere, only problem is he's in the UK right now. Ah
well. :-)

Yup, that's the point. This LR is a chassis, firewall and axles under the
washing line, an engine and gearbox in the garage, body panel's in my
brother's semi-SO's garage, no wiring to speak of. But the spirit of Lucas
is in there somewhere :-)

Keep us updated on that vibration.
