Sorry folks but there was very little interest from the members this year and the event has been cancelled.

2024 ALRE LAND ROVER PARTS CAR BOOT SALE

Greetings all,

We had our first 'Boot sale' last year and for a first kick at the cat it went pretty well. So we are going to host another Boot sale on:

SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2024    FROM 10:00am to 3:00pm
(Weather permitting)

Sellers: If you haven't been to a Boot Sale before and don't know....A boot sale is an opportunity to load up your landy with all the used/new surplus spare parts, tools, land rover paraphernalia and kit you have and Sell/Trade/Give them.

Buyers:  For those who are looking for deals on parts, tools, land rover paraphernalia and kit this is a great opportunity to find good bargains and little treasures.

It's a great opportunity to pass on or collect surplus parts, camping gear, LR apparel, posters, etc 


THERE IS NO CHARGE TO PARTICIPANTS BUT...WE NEED A MINIUMUM OF 10 PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS EVENT PLEASE

WHEN:
Saturday April 13th, 2024    10am to 3:00pm

WHERE:
SPORTS CAR CENTRE
12116 - 121A street
Edmonton  T5L 0A4

There will be a BBQ going, with refreshments. So even if you don't have anything to sell come on by with your favourite landy to say "hello" and have a look see.     

PLEASE....Bring Your own chair!

CATCH:   
All we ask is that you pre-register (there are NO FEES) so we have an idea of how much food to get.    If we don't have enough interest by Noon on April 10th we'll have to cancel.

To register please send an email to sales@sportscarcentre.ca .  We will contact you with any further details as we get closer to the day.

We look forward to seeing you there  ;D

Last post by jeffrey - March 01, 2024, 09:47 AM

I am converting my series 2A Land Rover from LHD to RHD (to ship to Australia) and need another bracket for the accelerator linkage, either L or U shaped is fine.

I have just come back from Toronto and went to the motor show at Exhibition place, where I saw a Grenadier or display, it looked pretty fancy, compared to our old Defenders!

Wanted / 2.25 Engine, or Swap Candidate

Last post by Madpiper - February 28, 2024, 06:27 PM

I found out my 2.25 petrol block is cracked, so I'm looking for a replacement for my '68 2a 109.   I'm also entertaining the option of a swap-if you have possible engines (200TDI,OM 617a, or others?) or even the adapters, please get in touch. Thanks.

Technical Discussions / Re: Diagnosing master cylinder...

Last post by binch - February 28, 2024, 11:52 AM

Now I'm not saying I have a clue what I'm talking about but....

I'm not sure about the double brake cylinder stuff but I've found from personal experience that the mushy brake is one of two items.   If the brake pedal is soft to start with then you might have air in the lines.   But if you are stopped at a light holding the brake pedal down, and it slowly wants to go to the floor still then you have a leak.  If you don't see brake fluid loss from the reservoir the seal(s) in the master are gone and allowing the fluid to pass the piston within the master.

Greetings all,

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Irish Social & Sports club has had a water main break with subsequent flooding back in January.  They have just had their damage assessment completed and are now organizing a restoration contractor.  So...as you can imagine they are still closed for the foreseeable future.    We will return there once we receive notice that they are open again.

In the meantime we are going to hold the March 6th Edmonton area ALRE GATHERING at:

Superior Fish & Chips
6 Superior St,
Devon, AB
T9G 1E8

6pm until 8pm
https://www.facebook.com/superiorfishandchips/

Chris's Jan 13 trip to the Ghost falls had a bit of a glitch in that mother nature decided to give us a cold snap that weekend.   But undeterred, the trip was rescheduled for the following weekend, and by the sounds of it they had a brilliant day out!!!   There was a D90, LR3, two new Defenders and if I'm not mistaken a jeep tagged along with the group.   
Chris is organizing another trip Late March to Ruby falls.  It's a has a couple of options to it so you have to go to the events section of our forum for more details www.http://alre.club/Forum/ .   I also see that Damian is proposing a trip to Kakwa Falls (Grand Prairie area) this summer, and he's looking for interest.   Again...for details check the events section in the forum  www.http://alre.club/Forum/.

So....I'm looking forward to catching up with people and learning more of what interesting options for club /events & trips people are organizing for this year.   I'd love to chat with you about them, and get your feedback.   Hope to see you at Superior Fish and chips.     

Cheers, Bill
ALRE's chief grunt & bottle washer
