Nah Im good, I already got a disco that makes me look quite foolish on occasion. The last thing I need is another one that behaves badly.

Its a gem pilsner! In all reality I'm not selling it because it has problems... It was my first forray into the rover world and I knew nothing about them until after I purchased it (would have got a D1 or RRC had I known) so I am thinking I may save up for a Def 90 or RRC and drive a cheap *** car for a while. I will still have my series to play with so I should still be able to get my rover fix. Spike is right, 1 keyhole? Some crazy brit is laughing his nuts off thinking of all the problems that little "upgrade" is causing people.

a lot of the changes were influenced from their new owners. BMW. possible it wasn't a brit at all.

Look around, all new cars have one key hole and some brand new ones have NON!!
This is a huge problem for me, new cars are coming with proximity keys, push button start and no key holes.
It has been reported on the news several times that Sue comes home from work, parks in the garage and hangs her keys on the key rack just inside the door.
The next morning she goes out to her car and it is still running because the key was close enough that the engine did not shut off and she was on the cell phone and didnt hear the car running when she got home and because you dont actually put a key in a ignition she never shut the car off.
Get far enough away from the car and the engine will shut off.
SO what happens when the battery goes dead in this key? What happens when the push button does not work? What happens when you loose the key? What happens when the cars battery goes dead? What happens when there is a computer malfunction?
Technology is great, but there still needs to be interaction between the driver and the car.

I will sell the load warrior and jerry can holder for $7500.00 and I will throw in a free Land Rover so shipping is not needed! Really though I haven't decided if I am going to keep the roof rack or not. If I don't I will sell it for $400.00 plus S&H and I am going to sell the jerry can holder with the truck. Here is the posting for it http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/1713333498.html
