Dear sir,

You have my deepest condolenses. I too have been affected by the caplier
bolt thats not having any. Indeed it cost me dearly. Engineering Drill bits,
dew drill, tap and die set... then a larger engineering drill bit, then a
large tap and die... then a helicoil set... then a limping trip to the local
engineers who was my saviour. He inserted a er...thingy..and then fitted a
new bolt. Worst job I've ever had to do and most expensive in tooling
unlikely to be used again. At one point I began slacking off the rear axle
but had a last burst of pocket money for the trip to the engineers.

I hope your agony is shortlived and you can soon get on with the rest of
your brake refurb.

Deepest sympathy

Lee D.

P.S. they are a real odd thread too.. forget what but that was half my
trouble as I was given the wrong bolt as a replacement... or was it the
wrong tap... I forget.

Just make sure Jeans are Oily (Jeep dealers sell stick on oily patches
for their wannabe Landrover customers) and Tshirt promotes Old
Squirrel Furkin Real Ale or similar, then you will fit right in with
LR crowd.

Fantastic!

I'm not familiar with the original but I like your version of the lyrics.

Do you think Rush might record it as an anthem for us?

How to end it though? Ramblers, hatchets, axes and saws... Hmm, that might
be a solution.

My ears are well shredded after two nights of Rush. Took me back to the good
old days of Hammersmith Odeon in the late 70s - Rush being the first band I
saw there.

Suppose I had better own up to this being my 1st post to afl - hello all.

Landrover topic ? - I bought my first Land Rover (Discovery 300TDi) last
weekend. Cheers.

and my club stand is next to the 101 club stand and GLASS, so I could have
had a real good weekend if she hadn't decided we had to go to last night of
the proms.

I have just got back from the show where everyone is busy setting up.

Still she is now definitely won over to the idea of a 101 as a camper having
looked round Grumble and the setup one chap has built in the back of a GS.
Guess what Martyn gave her (keep it clean please!!)

If anyone is after a lightweight, check out the Peterborough 4x4 club stand,
mine is for sale....

See some of you there on Sunday no doubt!

Don't worry, the GLASS and 101 stands had a few drinkies on your
behalf (urgh...)

She is a fine woman and one you should not only be proud of, but treat
as a true Princess. (She's also very pretty and has a superb sense of
humour, such a woman is worth more than an original center-steer)...

I'm amazed nobody snapped it up to be honest Simon. I had a bit of a
neb over it (you should have left the keys with me, for safe keeping
obviously) and I did rather like it. Sorry I didn't get a little more
'assertive' with the little ****ers who were showing a 'keen'
interest. I thought they'd fecked off after I had a word, they
must've come back later :-(

Martyn,

Verily, the transmission (gosh horses were much more reliable) failed on
Piglet, so I had to get him back home to diagnose his problem. And all this
just before the Belgium National (read - crusades <grin>)

He is now in the safe hands of Rogers of Bedford.

The armour also, it is true, was not in evidence, as due to another gearbox
failure, my rain shelter/sun shelter was stuck in Dorset

Sh!t, rotton luck. I recall Daz saying something about EP90 getting
into the gearbox due to a bad seal or summat. Oh well, makes next
year seem even more attractive then

Is that Tim by any chance? Seems he's having a bad year of it too.

Next year WILL be better, believe me, I'm a doctor (of sorts...)

I'm now off to go floating around the canals of Oxford at a massive
3mph for a week, after that I'll be ready for anything!

Cue the Uni students with a big lump of polystyrene mocked up as a
