These are the worde of a true gentleman and a scholar
RE: Why are you putting so much effort into this Savannah?
I can't see the people on the other end of the keyboard. Can't shake hands and feel those hard callouses. Can't see the wing tips and power tie. Can't smell the sweat from unloading six pallets of bolts. Can't hear the twang of a Texas accent. Can't see if he still has all his fingers. Can't tell if he has more tattoos than a kick boxing biker. Can't see if his clothes look like a wrinkle bomb hit them, or if there is paint on them, grease on them, etc. Can't see the diplomas on the wall (or the wall full of diplomas), Can't read the business card to see the job title or if there are extra letters after the name.
What I do know about him is that:
A. Family man, mid 20's, construction work that could be seasonal. (Sounds like average Joe - overtime comes and goes)
B. She-who-must-be-obeyed is watching the budget. He may have exhausted the fruit jar with the indy shop work on the transfer case. (and our better halves have never said we spend too much $ or time on "that truck"?)
C. He has a running (somewhat) Rover of unknown type that he paid $50 for. (Who among us would not have taken that deal?)
D. He is a Rover owner, forum member, has reasonable questions. Deserves support. And will get it.

Not all learning comes from those hallowed halls, and it is great to be able to relate to anyone. That wisdom only comes with age. Feel lots more comfortable sitting around a campfire enjoying the surroundings than in any Board Room anywhere. Enjoy the kakhi and camo lots more than the pinstripes and white collars.
Another true gentleman and scholar and provider of excellent electrical cables for your Discovery is Tom Rowe. I always value what these fellows have to say and always learn from them.
Of course it could have been a prank as well.
Any of you guys that have a decent flowchart software package feel free to generate a good set of flowcharts. I wish someone would add wrench sizes to the info in the RAVE. That is one major area for improvement.

While I accept the idea that a flow chart would be helpful, and would be a candidate for sticky entry; I would point out that it should also have pictures (worth a thousand words, and makes newbies understand what they are looking at). Also, inquiring minds want to know why they should check belt tightness or belt route, etc. An advantage is that everything is covered, and the author does not have to remember everything every post. Also warnings can be inserted, we can't "assume" that an owner will realize the gravity of an overheating situation, etc.
