It’s very common for a newbie to ask a technical question with long descriptions, but leave out whether it’s petrol or diesel, let alone engine type.
I know. I have been on LZ for nearly 10 years, and posted nearly 39,000 times!
I used to reply to a lot of questions about matters I know about, mainly Series 2 and 3, Ninety and One Tens, and early Defenders.
I rarely do so now, partly because many of the questions are almost impossible to understand, come from people who have never owned the vehicle, and are quite clearly looking for something to do on the internet on a quiet night, or just total fantasists.
Another issue with the older vehicles is that everything has already been said, they have been around for a minimum of 20 years, and a look at a manual or online search would usually reveal the answer that they are looking for.
I do occasionally answer questions that pop up on LZ Live when I am online. If the question is of interest to me.
Like most of the other seniors, though, I mostly prefer to stay in the safety of AG, and chat to my friends!
And I do enjoy trolling the freelanderers on occasion!
