Welcome aboard! Sadly I'm not an expert but I do enjoy listening to those who are :)
I used to moderate on a decent sized BMW forum and editing people's posts is just a complete no-no. Any mod who does that should be removed.
Anyway, I was saved from getting too used to the other place before I was told about the Pub so I'm happy!
One reason why rrpub has not been widely publicised is that we would prefer to keep the membership to people that have a modicum of technical knowledge
I'll do my best, pwomise!
As for ToadHall, I'd just ignore him. The more you complain about being banned the more he'll enjoy his power trip. The game really isn't worth the candle. It's an open forum so you can still read it, but if you register a new account I bet they won't catch up with you unless you start posting. It's very hard to hide your posting style from an experienced moderator.

HAha :)
I'll just swap my shiny collets to a new chassis and motor on :P
Ferryman, I'm counting loon as lunatic. I don't think such a trip would be a rational choice - but potentially a very entertaining one!
Who would be first to sacrifice their own Rangey for the good of the pack?
I think we'll need a classic car restorer along for the trip at least :)
Wow, so they're banning people for sending invitations to this site?
That's ridiculous :(
I think we need to arrange an epic road trip to Latvia for all the loons on the forum. If we can take in some offroading on the way, all the better. Maybe we could bend the route past my parents place in central France which is just north of the Massif Central where I'm told there is good offroading to be had. Or something.
That's a great tale of endurance and lateral thinking - nice one Richard :)
I think that alternator deserves a proper funeral, it certianly gave its all.
(I'm taking notes, because I'm sure it'll all happen to me at some point).
If you've got an Android tablet with a data link I think you'd be mad not to use the native Google Maps navigation. It updates itself, you can download offline maps and it gives really good live traffic data.
Your call of course.
I think they only exist for people who are flipping Range Rovers on to unsuspecting punters (like me!).
I'm starting to understand that in adverts that say "Recent X,Y,Z" you should actually be reading "It'll need at least these parts in the next year"
deleted :)
Hmm, flat blades really aren't all that special in use. I had some on a Fiat Coupe and went back to normal for the next set. They do make you look like the sort of person who'd fit blue illuminated wiper nozzles.
Woops :)
Hmm, can they be copied? Mine is apparently the latest (but it still gets confused by all the new junctions on the A1).
Just call Richard, he loves a bit of towing ;)
Wow, that went downhill fast :(
Err, let me check. Sounds like good new though!
Colour me jealous! I had my eye on Sloth's Grom (ooer) but I'd already spent most of a fortune on other bits that month. One day! :)
Enjoy your music
Nice one. I'll bear that in mind for the next time mine decides to pee water all over the place :)
As long as you have tracking numbers and photos of the head you returned you should be fine.
Best of luck!
I know nothing about the state of the market for rover V8 cylinder heads but I document absolutely everything I do on eBay.
Messages, proof of postage, photos of condition, photos of packaging. You basically need to provide a full chain of evidence at every step.
If you do that and use PayPal you've got them over a barrel.
There are some slippery people out there :(
