    Scheduled Downtime

    Bu**er, now you have me thinking as to actually how 5.5 tape /and or backups actually worked. At least it was not tied into AD at the time, and was sep. database, and exchange has always been "good" that you could always uninstall, install, whatever without a reboot of the bleeding server...

    How do I move?

    ..and for normal road driving try rhs (out of lock) and back (high). If you stick this gear lever in neutral it will do just that, no drive to the wheels, as it is essentailly a second gear box in between the engine; yer "normal" gearbox and eventually the wheels.

    What colour is your landy?

    Sometimes you can have pale roof and wheels though, local bye-laws apply - refer to local planning permissions.

    Cheers for the offer, can't say as yet, might get back to you. I will need to wait and see what the garage says on Monday. Just as long as they do not charge stealer prices. For me I think its more how to source & get delivered parts when away from home. I have enough spanners and socket...
