    They were dam lucky. If the LR had of had an old type radio he might have been able to save it.

    Those that have seen the Simpsons episode of "Mr Plow" would know what I am talking about.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Quote - "But it just so happens there’s a Land Rover club that’s come to their aid.“As soon as they saw the news that the land rover had gone in everyone was there,” Mrs Rule said."

    That's a demonstration of the good old world wide Land Rover camaraderie for you - well done to the local LR Club

    I hope the repairs aren't too involved and you're on your way again soon.
