One last post on this thread from me.
Millertime, you know very well that I have gone to a lot of time and trouble to try and help you. My posts have been by far the longest and this takes effort and shows I really want to help you, I guess I am just shocked that a guy with so little ability to get hands on with an old Land Rover, actually goes ahead and buys one. Most of us on this forum do as much of our own work as we can and come here for help when really stuck. You talk about "people with more money than sense". Well I think a majority of people on this forum buy old land Rovers because they are relatively cheap and they work on them themselves because they don't have a lot of money to throw at garages. You seem to breaking that mould so forgive me for not realising that, and wording my posts as if you were like the type of people I have mentioned.
I have got a lot of help from different people on here and I have also posted a lot to help others who have problems. So the "want it on a plate" expression was just a sign of my exasperation when I, or we, give you examples of the thing to do, and our advice just seems to not be being followed.
Now we know that you are getting someone else to do the work for you, we all understand. So, I have "worked you out" maybe now you have worked me out, not that that matters much.
Best of luck with it all and no hard feelings.
