OK - starting to see the funny side!!
After much prompting by the wife I will relent and make my incident public..
I recently fitted a Snorkel to my D4 which required the removal of the Front Right Wheel and Arch cover and Air Filter assembly. Carefully keeping all the parts and screws in a plastic tub. Got stumped on refitting the hoses to the Air Filter and put a question up on the forum which was quickly answered - stupid question and felt like a real tit when the answer was so obvious.
... fast forward a few hours and I find this in my tub of goodies
What the ... I don’t remember taking that off and I am not going to ask a dumb question again. Out with the torch to find where it connects ?? Two hours later no luck - find manual on internet, search internet with part number no luck - back torching, manual, forum, again - fail - again and again.
I WILL NOT ASK A DUMB QUESTION !!
More torch, manual, internet... f*ck!!! - hours hours hours
Then the wife comes home from work and finds me climbing the walls !!!
Calmly she said “Oh no - I found that in my car and threw it in your box”
Aaauurrghhhh!!!!
It’s a used part off her VW which was recently Services... some charcoal thing.
Note to Wife - don’t put anything in my box...!
Still not funny but she keeps laughing.Land Rovers never get bogged! - merely delayed
Land Rovers never break down! - merely fail to proceed.
Land Rovers never leak oil - it’s a built in anti-rust feature

And the moral is, always ask SWMBO first. Saves a load of hassle.

Disagree, I asked her a question 30 years ago and look where that got me.
Still paying for it to this day

Totally the sort of thing that could happen to me! King of the typo.

Now departed: '85 RR Vogue, '94 D1, '95 D1, '70 SIIA, '97 D1, '04 D2a. All V8, except for the SIIA - but that drank as much petrol anyway!

I have had exactly the same thing happen to me when I stripped a Honda Goldwing, spent hours trying to figure out where the bolts had come from. Only to find my son who was 4 years old at the time had decided to add to the parts for me.
