James
 Thanks for your reply .
Looks like a day at t
he parts shop with a set of old hoses ! No one in Canada has heard of Castrol TQF tranny fluid . The choices are either Ford or GM
The Roverclub site covers 4 cylinder oil filters . There is no data for 3500 V8 filters
Cheers

For hoses NAPA will have 2 of the hoses listed. For the others find a helpfull guy at NAPA, take the old hoses in, and match them up 
from the book. It can be done. You will end up with a stack of hoses, all a bit longer than you need, but with bends in them whch 
match the bends in the original. Cut them down to match. If you have no NAPA, another approach that I have used, was they showed my 
out to the back of the store, and told me to match up with what they had in stock. A JD camira heat hose works for the top hose, and 
a hose of an XF Falcon works for the bottom heater hose. Unfortunately these are Australian cars so this wont help you much.

The transmission is a borg wanter 35. Catrol TQF is the correct fluid I believe. It is what I use in my automatic.

Filters, have a look at: http://www.roverclub.se/filtere.html Have a look up inside the filter and make sure that there is a pipe 
there.

Service manuals  come up on ebay quite ofter. Also have a look at amazon. There are a few for sale there right now.  Also if you can 
wait a few weeks, then try the pitstop bookshop in Perth, Australia. www.pitstop.net.au I have bought them from there before, but 
you may have to call them, they do not seem to have them listed on their website.

Brake hoses, try jrwadhams in the UK, or All British Cars, Ruth Burgess in British Columbia.

James.
