RE: SER1 awkward parts: dunsfold superb

Diana,
At Step 2, is it a case of the model we need or that we dream about??
I think I'm at Step 11, verging on Step 12 though! ;o)
I definitely have no wish for a cure, only for more information about
S1s!
;o)
Lyndon

I don't know if this list is the correct place to be if you want a cure
for
Lode Lane Fever, it is a bit like going to the pub if you are an
alcoholic.
As yet I haven't heard of an LRA, which stands for Land Rover Anonymous
(not
Land Rover Australia), however I do believe we could develop a 12 step
programme on this list.

Step 1 - We admit that we are powerless over the  Series 1 in our lives
and
the accumulation of bits have become unmanageable.
Step 2 - Came to believe that we must decide what is the power of the
model
we need - a 1595cc or a Higher Power 1997cc.
Step 3 - Made a decision that we must turn our lives over to the pursuit
of
Series 1 what ever we believe that to be.
Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless parts inventory of our Series 1.
Step 5 - Admitted to ourselves and my Series 1 mates the exact nature of
the
problems of our Series 1's restoration.
Step 6 - That we are entirely ready to remove all these defects in the
character of our Series 1.
Step 7 - Humbly asked our mechanics to rectify all the shortcomings of
our
recent maintenance.
Step 8 - Made a list of all the persons we had borrowed things from and
became willing to return them all once the need was past.
Step 9 - Went directly over to such people wherever possible, except
when
the tool or machine was broken so it would injure them or others (so we
would get it fixed first.)
Step 10 - Continued to take parts and task inventory and when we were
wrong
promptly corrected it
Step 11 - Sought through frequent and diligent effort to improve our
Series
1's as we understood Land Rover, researching the manuals only for
knowledge
of Solihull's intention for our Landy and the resources to carry that
out
Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of the
completion
of our restoration, we tried to carry this message to other enthusiasts,
and
to practice these principles in all our Land Rovers


Cheers
Diana :-)))
