As a relatively new member to the forum, but definitely not new to Range Rovers or British cars in general, I have to say that I love this forum. I'm on here at least 20+ times a day keeping up to date on problems that I expect to come my way in the near future. I've searched the forum from what seems like one end to the other to try and solve current and past problems. I will say that I think some new people don't use the search function whether it be by sure laziness, in which they just want the specific answers catered to them, or they simply do not know the terminology or part names to successfully use the search as it relates to their problem. I wish I was better able to offer my assistance and whenever possible, I do. Most of the issues that I have run into are the basic EAS, heater O-rings, pollen filter leaks, etc. Simple things like that have a million posts explaining more than I ever could, but if I can chime in with some quick advice, I certainly will. I definitely have no advice to give as far as rebuilding engines, transmissions, tracing electrical problems, etc. I think there is a large variety of people here from different fields like finance (myself) to Land Rover certified mechanics. I can help you with your taxes, but get your intake manifold gasket replacement advice elsewhere!!
I think people like RRToadHall, Scotty, Dennis, Wreckrunner, Leftlanetruckin, Getlost4x4 all deserve many thanks for their current and past posts and their strong contributions to the site and their devotion to the brand. Obviously everyone deserves thanks, but these are just a few consistent contributors I've noticed.
On a sour note, I am discouraged to find that a couple of my previous questions have gone by without replies. After searching and searching, I came to accept the fact that I couldn't find any similar problems to the ones I was having so decided to start a new thread. I'm not saying they're not out there, I just couldn't find them. 100+ views and not a single reply had me thinking either I've annoyed everyone, my questions are too elementary, or my posts are so **** long that nobody wants to finish reading them! (I try to be pretty specific). Meanwhile, posts on whether to add "angel eyes" or not get everyone's attention.
All in all, thanks again to everyone. As I become more mechanically inclined, I look forward to offering some useful advice to the newcomers.
