ewenm Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Oh Boonie - I saw a perfect Landy Defender for you down in Cornwall. It was painted metallic pink and had a spoiler on the back and big road alloys 71560 miles and counting... but knackered alternator ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hands packet to Hoopy - hope there are not too many e numbers in them. Cool Ewen - now we have a sprog on the way Mrs B told me that I could try and persuade her that a LandRover would be a good idea for her, baby, dog and all the sundry equipment we normally take.

Meldrew Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Careful Boonie - That line of argument is how my wife persuaded me to buy Sven the Socially Responsible, our Volvo estate. I got my own back. I persuaded her to buy a Seven by sneaking off to Caterham for a test drive on my own and making damn' sure I'd ordered it before I came home. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Pat. Sod getting yer hands dirty. You are an accountant. You crunch numbers. Leave that messy cr4p to the people who do that. Phone your local LSUK branch (was Lucas) and they will quote you including fitting. Job done. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😬 Rrrrrosssssss!!!!!!!

not a Postman Pat Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Thanks Ross That would be quite a good strategy if I could work out a cost-effective way to get my dead car to my nearest LSUK - after first extricating it from my front garden where I parked it right up against a big prickly bush surrounding it on three sides, hence making opening the bonnet a rather scratchy experience 😳 Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Brother Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Call the AA/RAC They're normaly very keen to sell you a battery. In fact I think there was a whole episode of Watchdog dedicated to the RAC battery sales targets 😳 Steve Se7en-Up!

chrisd Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 err...hello everyone. It's my first time down here so go easy ( I took a wrong turn). I just wanted to say how refreshing it is to find that I'm not the only 7 owner who is mechanically dyslexic, so I may come back here soon with more 'numpty tech questions' - I always feel inadequate up top with the big boys .

not a Postman Pat Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hello Chris Mechanically dyslexic and proud - that's me And where else can you get 5 pages (and counting) based purely around changing a battery By the way, it's perfectly acceptable to feel inadequate up top, as long as you're more than adequate down below 😳 Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi Chris and welcome to the madness that is the bikesheds. Petrol you say - everyone knows that cars run on magic. Don't be fooled by scientists - it can't be explained things work by sorcery. Pat - have you done the deed yet....or even changed the battery?

Boonie Hound Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hmmmmm - suspension, that's a bit more tricky. I think that requires a hammer, nails and chewing gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
