Sa tad harsh init? The posting could reasonably have had "Series 2 on
eBay" in it, but otherwise not really off topic IMO.

Trouble is, it didn't. Why should I click on an unexplained link? Why
should I bother, with all the liars and thieves who post unexplained
links to newsgroups?

And news articles might survive in an archive for years. Will a web
page on eBay?

You want me to click on a link? Persuade me.

we do allow postings of such items for sale, ISTR.

Mind, "Hirsty's" postings are filtered "mark read" on my news client, they
were wasting too much time, and very rarely worth reading.

My pet whinge about eBay items applies, though: make a sodding clickable
link. Cut and paste the time URL from the ebay page, trim it so that it
contains just the item=nnnnnnnnn bit, like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4565815980

and it doesn't even wrap.

without that, I have to launch the browser, type www.ebay etc in the bar,
cut and paste the number and click search, which is a PITA. most email
clients make clickables from http... urls, and in that case, I click on it,
and let it get on with it.

i think the main problem is people that swan in once and try to flog
something off. i dont think anyone has an issue with regular newsgroup users
that inform us about an item they are trying to sell. this is a reasonable
form of give and take, whereas first time posters shouldnt be advertising
their wares.

My two cents worth anyway.

BTW. would a slightly blocked muffler cause an exhaust manifold to glow red
hot?? if so, it's the last possibility and looks like i'll have to fork out
the $260 for a new one. And another thing, where is the best spot to put an
lpg tank in a LWB 2-door series 3? can it fit underneath the tray behind the
rear-axle, or does it have to go in the load-bed?

Mine has a centre petrol tank and a big space at the back. station wagons
have rear tanks, AFAIK.

Correct. my tank is under the driver seat (with an aux. tank just behind the
transfer case but thats irrelevant), and the station-wagons have the pet.
tank out the back somewhere. i have only seen one series landy with a tank
on the side between chassis and bodywork, but the bottom of the tank sat a
couple of inches below the bottom of the chassis, which is alright for a
vehicle that never leaves tarmac but i would be very frightened 4wd'ing with
a tank in that position.

gas tank on my 110 was like that, and survived some fairly firm contacts
with the ground. You wouldn't want to get it caught on a rock, or
something, though. The gas tanks are much stronger than the typical petrol
tank.
