Apology to the community....

Postby elvengate on Sat Feb 14, 2015 7:10 pm

In my frustration at not being able to fix my 98 Sport that was a labour of love for me, I ended up being an a** on here.

Please accept my apology.

Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

No worries, frustration can get to us all. Hopefully the truck is now fixed?
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Well.... with a sad heart I have arranged for the Scrappers to come and pick-up my 98' sport.

I spent 2 years rebuilding almost every mechanical item on it.

I am gutted that a simple Immobiliser glitch has been the death nail in it.

Be warned all. If your Alarm/Immobiliser goes to crap. You are going to be in a rough spot.

Not much help out there to get it fixed.

When I can afford to..... we are going to Land Rover Defender's
