It's been a bit quiet around here, so I thought I'd chance a non-RR/B-related post.
With all the snow lately my poor Bentley has been stuck in the driveway -- so I've gone out a bought an old Land Rover. It has certainly been an eye-opener:
1) The entire wiring diagram fits on half a page, and has 46 numbered items on it. (And everything is numbered.)
2) Windscreen washers? You must be kidding; if it gets muddy, fold it down.
3) Parts. How about a chassis bushing for £0.74? Or a bump-stop for £2.64? A main bearing set for £4.99? A complete exhaust for £55.
4) Climate control? Well, no, but an option was a heater in the footbox with a hand-tap under the bonnet.
Anyway, a highly-recommended diversion.
