IF YOUR OIL LIGHT IS FLICKERING, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL FIRST, DIPSTICK.
Do not drive straight home, fire up the computer and ask us here at Pirate Bulletin Board Land Rover Tech Talk what is wrong. Do some hands on analyzing of your own before you present your questions here. Or you will soon be labeled as a newbie idiot and dealt with in Pirate fashion.
If you truly are a newbie idiot you can still gain more respect then the average poster here. Read your OWNERS MANUAL / WORKSHOP MANUAL about your problem. SEARCH the forum for similar types of problems. Get your hands dirty investigating the problem. Find some old cardboard and use it to take a nap under your vehicle. Then post your INFORMED question here with the background and your research. Even a complete non-mechanical 10 thumbed gnome will get some help from the hard core enthusiasts living here at PBB LR TECH.
Of course there may be some good natured harassing and such along with the helpful discussion. So toughten up and keep your skin thick. Reserve yourself from making personal attack against people until necessary, or just for fun. Pictures, links, favorite sites and famous quotes can increase you status among the Pirates. Which ultimately will reward your time spent here.
