Live in West Midlands?

then stick to ebay or post someting relevant

Sa tad harsh init? The posting could reasonably have had "Series 2 on eBay" in it, but otherwise not really off topic IMO.

Are you a moderator for this n.g?

We all are.

Not me.

At least it is a LANDROVER! Relevant "I" think!

Trouble is, it didn't. Why should I click on an unexplained link? Why should I bother, with all the liars and thieves who post unexplained links to newsgroups?

And news articles might survive in an archive for years. Will a web page on eBay?

You want me to click on a link? Persuade me.

we do allow postings of such items for sale, ISTR.

Mind, "Hirsty's" postings are filtered "mark read" on my news client, they were wasting too much time, and very rarely worth reading.

My pet whinge about eBay items applies, though: make a sodding clickable link. Cut and paste the time URL from the ebay page, trim it so that it contains just the item=nnnnnnnnn bit, like this:

without that, I have to launch the browser, type www.ebay etc in the bar, cut and paste the number and click search, which is a PITA. most email clients make clickables from http... urls, and in that case, I click on it,and let it get on with it.

i think the main problem is people that swan in once and try to flog something off. i dont think anyone has an issue with regular newsgroup users that inform us about an item they are trying to sell. this is a reasonable form of give and take, whereas first time posters shouldnt be advertising their wares.

My two cents worth anyway.

BTW. would a slightly blocked muffler cause an exhaust manifold to glow red hot?? if so, it's the last possibility and looks like i'll have to fork out the $260 for a new one. And another thing, where is the best spot to put an lpg tank in a LWB 2-door series 3? can it fit underneath the tray behind the rear-axle, or does it have to go in the load-bed?

I think there is space for tanks at the sides between the chassis and the bodywork, between the doors and the rear wheels. IIRC the petrol tank is behind the rear axle, though if you wanted LPG tanks there you could fit an underseat tank from an 88.

Mine has a centre petrol tank and a big space at the back. station wagons have rear tanks, AFAIK.

Correct. my tank is under the driver seat (with an aux. tank just behind the transfer case but thats irrelevant), and the station-wagons have the pet. tank out the back somewhere. i have only seen one series landy with a tank on the side between chassis and bodywork, but the bottom of the tank sat a couple of inches below the bottom of the chassis, which is alright for a vehicle that never leaves tarmac but i would be very frightened 4wd'ing with a tank in that position.

gas tank on my 110 was like that, and survived some fairly firm contacts with the ground. You wouldn't want to get it caught on a rock, or something, though. The gas tanks are much stronger than the typical petrol tank.
