AVB Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Saturday morning and I had to do the school run. Did I chose the Mini? - The sensible choice but the children had school and sports bags so no. Did I chose the Discovery? - lots of space and comfortable therefore a better choice. No because ..... I have a Defender - It's just fun. And I get to wave at other Defender owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's jealousy, they really want one but the wife says " No, you can't have one now do as you're told", so they make out they never wanted one really because they're unreliable.

Ten minutes this morning sir? No, impossible small gaps, every nut a different size, most 13mm, why on earth do 13mm spanners and sockets just vanish? Two hours of proper slog.

TONY R Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I bought a Little metric 3 eighths drive cygnett socket set for leaving in the van about 15 years ago now, lost the 13mm within about a month of owning it, replaced the socket with a hilka one i had and then a kamasa one it has a snap on one at bthe moment its doing well ive had that in there about 3 years, all the other sockets including the full set of original deep socket in that box are still there, but short 13mms are a nightmare.
