I don't think anyone would think that it was out of order to put a link into
a post - blatent commercial advertising week after week might well be
frowned upon but I think it would be entirely appropriate for you to post a
link to save the lazy chaps like me getting distracted whilst being nosy
and wasting time looking at every other LR related item on eBay

Judging from the TV reports of your neck of the wood, I'd have expected to
see a Saab for sale, and a request out for a snorkel and raised breather
kit for a 2.5D 110

That's the one, thanks Austin.

The folks at ebay do frown upon advertising auction items on
newsgroups and such, hence my restraint.

Was a close-run-thing which should go especially with some of the
crazy weather we have had but it comes doen to simple running costs as
I often have to drive a few counties away and the saab is simply far
cheaper over such a distance.

The folks on eBay frown on an awful lot, like daring to contact another
eBayer without using their own email system. Don't worry about it. Also,
you marked your post "FA", so anyone who didn't want to read a link to an
auction could just ignore the post. As others have said, blatant commercial
advertising is frowned upon, but links to on-topic auctions or sales are
fine if they are clearly labelled as such.

Personally, I like to see a brief description and some idea of location;
two or three lines. Web links vanish. Newsgroup postings can linger.

must be a more economical one than we had, or you don't drive it as hard.
We had a basic 900, and it never got over about 28 mpg.

We have a 1990 9000 turbo and on the long runs if you go easy it'll do
40's mpg. but get that turbo spinning and you'll think you have a fuel
leak.
