Thanks T-Cut.

Greatly appreciated. In my working days, I was responsible for writing owners manuals for the farm machinery that we used to manufacture here in OZ. Our combine harvesters used to use timing belts to drive the two sickle knives of the thirty-four feet width cutting platform. We placed in bold capital letters that the belts must be replaced at four-year intervals.

But then, farmers always considered themselves better mechanics than the machinery manufacturers!

I wish Rover had stuck with the button in the fuel gauge that, when pressed, indicated the oil level in the engine's oil sump. Temperature gauges also gave you faithful information in those days. That dates me!

Thanks again,

Mike A.
