--- Quote from: landmannnn on February 19, 2009, 21:35:19 ---There is a simple cure.

1   Wait until it is raining (won't have to wait long) and put on your favorite jeans and T shirt
2   Go and lie on your driveway (or someone else's)
3   Stay there for one hour
4   Lightly rap your knuckles with a hammer
5   Spray WD 40 into your left ear
6   Dab some grease on your (favorite) t shirt
7   Rap yourself sharply on your thumb with a heavy spanner
8   Wipe the blood on your jeans.
9   It should be dark now so go and get your toolbox.
10 Empty your toolbox on your front lawn
11 Now collect your tools without a torch
12 Now get your wallet out and rip up a couple of tenners
13 Go indoors, sit on the sofa, receive verbal assault
14 Buy something on ebay you don't need (minimum £30)
15 Now go back out again and tear up any fivers in your wallet
16 Repeat this three times a week for a month

Additional for Jaguar Owners
Although try fitting your hand into places you can't possibly get it (as nothing is design to be worked on)
Spend several hours trying work why someone should design some that needs changing regularly(eg Oil Filter) in such an impossible place to get at.
undo several nuts with fine thread that about 12 inches long using a spanner which you need to turn over each time because lack of room.
and times the money figures by Five for Jags, and that goes for your insurance and fuel bills.

I think his E-Type and Mk2 are easier to work on than more modern stuff...

Has anyone had trouble insuring their Defender "van" as opposed to estate? Most of the insurers only have the Stationwagon listed under Defender 90 / 110.

Mr Boogieman's Defender is pretty close to what I had in mind - although the Q plate could cause problems.

lee celtic:
I remember being asked to redo the roof linning in an E type, the fibre board it's stuck to wouldn't come out we figured out that the board was put in before the roof was welded on  :doh:

ended up having to sprayglue the thing in place inside the car after stripping the inside out  :evil: :evil:

took two days in the end (though putting the lining in only took an hour) :roll:
