Re: SER1 Fw: [za-lro] Land Rover admits to car owner's claims

A shoulder shrug is pretty much all you get in the U.S. when you're 
trying to get any kind of help from a dealership or even independent 
parts supplier.  If the 16 year old kid behind the counter can't find 
it in his computer he can't help you.  Even the secondary market 
suppliers don't have enough demand for Series 1 parts to keep much if 
any stock.  That is why this Garage is an invaluable resource for 
anyone working on one of these vehicles.  It is not just parts, but the 
fact that someone else actually knows what  you are talking about when 
you ask about a part or the source for a Whitworth socket set or a 
Lucas anything.  Not so the average "foreign parts dealer" - read 
"Toyota" , or even at a LR dealer.
