    Shaft seals sorted. The guys were impressed at their condition and we're good for another 6-8 years, plus the shafts are straight and couplings in good nick. Also the mechanic I get to supply me genuine Volvo parts and do the work I don't want to really rely on myself to do (things like heat exchangers where a coolant leak results in total engine loss) was very happy with what he examined. That's nice. See the attention to detail required from owning a Landrover has benefited me in more ways than normal.

    I wonder if your wife, being of Scottish descent, might have a slightly different view of the "attention to detail" in that sentence Brad.

    No question. Still, I'm pretty sure she puts up with me because I can fix stuff. Or I keep telling myself that anyway. I've had 2 mates go through divorce. Owning boats *and* Landrovers is still cheaper by miles.

    Ditto, but I wish my wife would stop breaking stuff to keep testing if I'm still worth it.

    This bloody boat brought a tear of happiness to my eye.
