What's this then??

[hawk]

So I had the back door card off the other day and found this paper inside.



It looks like a build sheet but it has some different specs to my Defender. Some things are the same but the VIN is different. I wonder if the wrong build sheet was put there from the factory.

Any ideas??

So... at work, on occasion, we receive inbound goods, normally palletized, from a warehouse.
Now sometimes, the ladies and gentlemen who pack the pallet of goods, leave presents in aforementioned pallet for my workmates to find. This has included: a empty spool of packing tape, a empty spool of tape plus the tape dispenser it is attached to, a snickers wrapper, empty sticker backing paper, scraps of bubble wrap, scraps of pallet wrap.... even the cardboard pallet wrap tube. Even once scored a box cutter.

TL;DR sometimes it's easier for someone in a production line to hide their rubbish in your stuff, rather than walking to the bin

The best one I had was a dial indicator with a magnetic base arrive on a gearbox.
To top it off, it was on the inside of the gearbox casing!
Thankfully it was completely clear of the gear sets, or as you can probably imagine, munch munch dial indicator for lunch.

I once found a big thick screwdriver left under the bonnet of our D1 after it had been to a certain workshop. Was sitting on top of the radiator.

My favourite super long nose pliers came from under a bonnet, I've never seen another pair like them and they're in use almost daily. Tools are found, tools are lost but some manage to hang around for 40 years. I've still got a couple of the Kmart spanners I got on my 14th birthday.

Under bonnet finds are good. I found a quality 1/4" drive ratchet drive with an extension and 10mm socket on it after I had the snorkel fitted to the D90. I was a good boy though and took it back to the shop when I found it a couple of weeks after the fitting. I wish the young mechanic that borrowed my SK 1/4" extension had returned it after borrowing it in Abu Dhabi a few years ago - made it tempting to hang onto this one, but Karma doesn't work like that.

Sounds like karma was trying to even things up and you rejected it

My son is a motor mechanic , he used to work for a major Land Rover dealers in Melbourne , as a young mechanic , he had just brought a 1/4" drive ratchet , anyway he took a vehicle for a test drive , and someone knocked his new ratchet off his bench . I had never seen him so upset and angry . He paid $40 for It , as he said that was a few hours pay . He learned that lesson the hard way !!.. Jim

Once, a long time ago, I was about to eat the last morsel of my pie when I noticed something. It was a 1 inch (We were still Imperial then) square of fury skin.
Cheers, Billy.

My best pressy yet was in mid 80's working at Darwin Casino, in a pallet of liquor delivery was a used copy of "Morgan's Official Street Directory 41st Edition" (Melbourne and Suburbs; ?c1960).
I still have it; but got annoyed when it gave me wrong directions last year.
