    I was trying not to read ahead... but I saw the ***asterixes*** that looked to be a tirade of swearing and cussing, but alas, it was only a expression of discontent towards the weather.

    Bear will live on. Have faith. I broke some stuff on the way back from Melrose, but it's all just part of the fun!

    When they said yes to the new engine I was hopeful.
    When I saw Michael under Bear at Melrose I was worried.
    When I asked Mitch {because I wasn't game to ask anyone else} What's that bloke doing under there?
    When Mitch told me what he was doing, I knew all would be well.

    I doubt we'll ever see a service manager the like of Micheal again. His is the example they should all follow.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Congrats Digger. I'm glad the trip went well.

    Big The reason LandRover isnt building in this market for Solitaires. I bet LRA didn't pay them for it.

    I followed Digger for a fair part of the post Melrose trip.... on the way to Maralinga I was hoping I wasn't going to have to help tow him out of Googs.

    By the time we got there, I knew it would be alright and we had the most fantastic trip. Bear behaved like a real Defender the whole way..... even with no 5 doing aerobatics over the dunes...

    I do hope Solitaire understand the difference Michael's help made - not just to Digger - but to the entire groups impression of their business. Brilliant Service !

    I've just re-read the 25 pages of this thread, for peace of mind, and understanding.

    I got neither.

    Good story Digger. Like others, I was waiting for the '... the turbo pooped itself again' or something, but all good.

    Have you informed the higher powers at Solitaire of Michael's exceptional effort? They probably need to know how much effort he put in. A 3AM start is way beyond!
