What I think he is trying to say Slob is that he doesn't know anybody on here so wants to ask the people who don't know him what the parts he doesn't know and can't properly explain are so he can gain that part for his own benefit and stuff those he doesn't know and has no interest in knowing cos he's got wot he wants. I think that takes the **** myself.
For your information I don't know anyone on this site, I have never met anyone from this site and if I ask a stupid question and get a stupid answer then it is my own fault.
Yes I take this **** out of people but I will always leave myself open for **** taking back. Having a laugh with people you don't know is part of bonding. How do you get to know someone without talking to them. Having a laugh is an essential part of the process. How do you break the ice with someone you don't know? You are asking for help and then telling us to **** off when we try to help.

I can't believe that we've produced three pages of informed discussion about the rain cover.

66,000 miles, no break downs and we'll see what the MoT man has to say today.
The 90 on the other hand ...

The 66,000 trouble free miles is on a TD4. (Only ever been one hitch with it and I don't count anything that was mended with a cable tie as a problem!)
The Camel is on 105,000 miles. It has had a hard life but the only time it's failed us "on the job" was a snapped aux belt. And it happened right outside a LR dealership! I put this servicability down to competant and aggressive maintenance on behalf of the owners it's had.
The preparation it has had means it is well proptected from accidents but it carries a lot of extra weight - huge under body protecton, a-bar, winch, roll cage, rack, etc. I've never got as far as a weigh bridge but I'd be interested to see what it's curb weight is. This extra wheight takes it toll, I'm sure. I reckon with its offroading and extra wheight for every mile it shows, it's done at another "hidden" mile.
Because of the life it's had, most of its transmission components have been swapped at some point - CV joints, for example, are virtually disposable when it's spent time in a sand quarry as an instructional vehicle - but there is nothing that we've had done that isn't directly attributable to the work it's been doing.
When we're off for a day's greenlaning or offroading, it is often difficult to decide which keys to pick up - the 90's or the Camel's...
