Tried to tell you, but what would I know' Anyhow good luck with the new car and hope you get a few weeks enjoyment out of it before the next thing goes wrong,,, OH and I wouldn't be taking a lot of notice of the trip computer either, that is IF it's still working. All jokes aside, I hope you have lots of fun with it, it does LOOK good. -------------------- Frank

JUMPY if the ranger is a diesel have a water separator fitted as soon as you can, it can cost up to $10,000 for the repairs on the common rail diesels if you pick up as much as a spoon full of water

I welded two steps together mahing them twice as deep, I had water the full length of one side and devided the other side into two and had engine oil in one half and gear/diff oil in other half, so if I ever flodded the engine and diffs ( unlikely ) I would have fresh oil to fill. This was a huge success as the low gravity and extra weight eather side low down made it great off road vehicle, only thing was I had to watch my height as the tanks were 3" lower then standard, but never damaged them, and in those days I used to do some heavy off roading. -------------------- Frank

Know what you mean. Picked up a brand new Mazda one time and was driving it over to show my folks. Saw a woman driving along behind me - sometimes real close other times way back. Stopped at several sets of lights and saw her brake late at most. About the 4th set, bam straight into the back. Car was only a few hours registered. She was uninsured!!!! Has to go around a few weeks later, appropriately dressed and in the appropriate car, to get money out of her for repairs.
