    tell me about it. For the beloved Marjorie's little French box of sh*t I had
    to buy two special tools - to open the oil drain plugs on engine and
    gearbox...
     come on, TWO??? They are double ended as well..
    Anyone staying with me here? I have to buy two double ended drain plug
    'undoers' and each one has an end I don't need. Thanks Citroen.
    as for the rest of it, thank goodness I already had a set of metric spanners
    and sockets.
     and I'm with you on Torx, buy a mid range set and guess what, you still
    have to go out buying odd singles. Buy an expensive set, and they ARE
    expensive over here, and you use two of the sods...
    and, using the Frog manual I still couldn't get the dashboard open... so I
    made her take it to the specialist down the road. He did it in a few
    minutes. Charged just a few quid but had to charge her for replacing 9
    bulbs... NINE?

    erm, yes, I guess you could say I agree with you Al!

    Long live old Land Rovers

    Best Cheers
