if you're a member of greenpeace protesting outside a landrover dealer, don't stop the person with the mud-club t-shirt on and ask him what his opinion of 4x4s is if you don't have a very good line of defense ...

:lol: would love to be a fly on the wall for that :lol:

an hour or so later they asked him to contact their head office and if he wouldn't mind leaving :-.

apparently the crowd were laughing at the greenpeace lot's inability to answer the questions :)

Always check that the clutch is not stuck on the engine you have just yanked out of the vehicle that's been parked up in the bottom of the field before you put it in yours :roll:

Don't stand on the corner of the box of rivets that started the day neatly sorted into different sizes.

Don't stand on the corner of the box of washers that started the day neatly sorted into different sizes.

When looking underneath your winch equipped Land Rover, remember there is a large hook attached to the bumper. Ouch.

In summer, open the windows 10 mins before your journey.
It'll cool down and the leather/pvc seats won't stick to the backs of your short wearing legs!

No really I mean it!

IF a gullwing door goes 'ping' while its up, get your legs in the car fast.

when recovering a vechicle from mud the front bumper is not an ideal place to attach the tow rope

neither is the bullbar if it is slightly rusty :oops: :oops: :oops: (ask bob696 :lol: )

First found out that a standard bumper with a normal tow ball bolted on isnt a recovery point when I had my old S3 for about a fornight

make sure you re-connect the oil pipes on the turbo before starting the car up and moving it about 15 foot before wondering were that oil slick is coming from :oops:

FOR NISSAN MICRA DRIVERS
Turn your rear washer jet upside down and place a sparkler in it. Light the sparkler just before you go out.

You drive it like a bumper car, you may as well make it look like one.

Dont eat a big nasty hot dog prior to going on a big roller coaster.
