No it isn't. See "Rule of Tim"

Steve

Quite right Steve. People should read the NG FAQs before they make such accusations. No, wait, our FAQs don't cover that.

Rule of Tim states that in this NG, for any given problem totally unrelated to Land Rovers, there'll be a couple of people in this NG who will be able to help anyway.

There's an unofficial custom that any post falling into this category has a subject prefaced by "ROT -" (note not "ROT:" as Outlook then strips out the prefix next time round).

There's also an unofficial custom that we don't mix top and bottom posting :)

Try

Nigel

Tim Hobbs, who came up with the Rule of Tim.

So it's been proven, then.

Me!

Thought you'd fallen off the edge of the world (It really is flat, you know...)

I recently rationalised my Agent usage, after finding myself reading it in all sorts of places when I should have been doing other stuff. So I've been googling occasionally, but otherwise cold turkey.

I've been thoroughly pissed off with all things LR for the past few weeks - just grief upon grief. Things took a turn for the better today - went out in the 101 and reminded myself what it's all about.

Must call Warren - haven't seen him for days....

I've noticed that although this group is primarily concerned with a hobby topic, and most of us seem to work full-time, the quietest time for the group is Saturday daytime - weekdays are much busier. This suggests to me that we spend most of the week thinking about Land Rovers instead of work, until Saturday when we're too busy messing around with them to post.

David

Sour dude!

I made the mishtake of allowing VNC access to Agent from my PDA...

Ah yes... I too did some percussive therapy on Grumble and am now ready for show season...

Gerrinda queue matey, he's currently on notice to MOT Ziggy and review the PAS on Grumble. Once those important things are dealt with, he can replace the brakes and suspention bushes on the Disco :-)

darn, rumbled again.

todays messing on mine was to pull ther plugs and gap 'em a bit smaller, in search of the still-elusive poor running. seems to have improved it. Magnecor leads on the way, hopefully.

is it normal for there to be a delay on these, BTW, or has there just been a run on 'em? I was quoted quite a good price, and so i'm not unduly fussed to wait an extra week or so, just wondering if the lot I ordered from are taking the piss.

When I ordered there was a delay from Magnecor, so I gave RPI Engineering a call, and they had them in stock and shipped to me for the next day (Saturday) in the wilds of Devon. Thanks, RPI.

oh well. I'll give this lot a chance, now I've said I want 'em - they did give me an option not to wait, but I figured by the time I faff around trying to find 'em in stock elsewhere, and possibly don't, it wasn't worth the effort. re-gapping the plugs has apparently improved it, but then so did replacing the plugs, and so did a host of other things, but none of them have actually cured it.
