The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at light, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.

Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment.

A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of Wembly Stadium.

It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

An electric fence powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight-year-old child.

If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

It is not necessary to say hello, goodbye when beginning, or ending phone conversations.

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German you need not speak the language. A German accent will do.

Even when driving down a perfectly straight road it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

You're very likely to survive any battle in any war - unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince in agony when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade- at any time of the year. ]]> Public Discussion Pogmahog http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179616 http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179612&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:28:35 GMT guys need help here my gear box in my 72 landy is starting to crunch like crazey the oil seems fine in it it is filled right up can any one give advise am scared incase shes nackered guys need help here my gear box in my 72 landy is starting to crunch like crazey the oil seems fine in it it is filled right up can any one give advise am scared incase shes nackered ]]> Series Land Rovers caps http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179612 http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179610&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:56:48 GMT Hi All, This is a long shot but here goes, been doing work on the steering since Friday morning and have come to the conclusion that I have failed on a global scale :eek: I have had no joy removing the drop arm off the steering box, I had been told that this would be a proper pig, so I armend... Hi All,

This is a long shot but here goes, been doing work on the steering since Friday morning and have come to the conclusion that I have failed on a global scale :eek:
I have had no joy removing the drop arm off the steering box, I had been told that this would be a proper pig, so I armend myself with 10 ton hydralic puller:D but even this has failed to move the so & so.....
My predicament is simple, I need to get to Birmingham complete with the Landie for Thursday morning, the car is booked in at Liveridge by Earlswood lakes on Thursday for MOT and a new X-Member:)

So my request does anyone having any magic spells to get the drop arm off ?
Failing that does anyone have a trailer that can transport me and the landie up to Earswood? Obviously, all costs will be covered, plus a good drink to cover your inconvience. :)
As stated, long shot but I'm desperate! I should say im in Rustington on the south coast.

My son has just limped his F Reg 90 home and a sump exploded. The vehicle is fitted with a 200 tdi engine.

There is a hole in the sum and all oil has been sprayed over the bottom on the engine.

Has anyone have any idea what could of caused it, and is it repairable?

A trench across one of the sections of road had a temporary back fill put in for the weekend. It has washed away. There are no warning signs up and it is on an unlit section. Fortunately I was in my 90 when I 'found' it. The 4 cars pulled up outside the Ward Arms being attended by recovery trucks weren't so lucky at a guess. ]]> Public Discussion bob696 http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179605 http://forum.landrovernet.com/showthread.php?t=179603&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:48:49 GMT Yesterday I fitted an Eberspacher heater, and it went through it's start up and shut down about 3-4 times without starting the engine. Finished fitting it and the 90 started as normal, drove down the road to get a McD's for lunch and then it wouldn't start, won't turn over at all just clicking relays. Luckily I was facing downhill and bump started it. Went home and left it idling for about an hour, switched off then on and it worked fine so left it overnight.

It started in the morning but was a bit 'lazy', then trying to restart outside Tesco's it was back to clicking relays so I bumped it again after failing to jump start, then went to get a new battery, fitted it and it's still not behaving, but the dash lights are now bright and immobiliser is fine. I've tried whacking the starter, but it didn't help. Before I fork out for a new starter, is there something else I can try? Battery is reading about 12.5V engine off, 14.4V engine on.
