These guidelines may help:-
- Look confused when she asks you why you need Mud Sliders - explain this is for safety and not a toy
- When she discovers you on E-bay late at night looking for parts, assure her that at least it is not another woman
- When the the towel gets oil on it, assure her that Persil gets oil out these days.
- Carburettors are very valuable and that's why you must dismantle it on the kitchen table and you need to be near the sink. You are saving lots of money doing it yourself and that keeps her in jeans, handbags and "shoes."
- Land Rovers will continue to grumble roughly once a month - not much difference there
- When you start a job on the Land Rover it will take you longer that what you think, if she asks you to do shopping, wallpapering - then say that you are really sorry but this urgent job on your Landie will take time.
- A welder is needed - tell her to get over it.
You have to realise to understand a Land Rover you can buy a manual, get a friend round, post to this newsgroup - there is no such manual for women.
