Recommended Posts

Once upon a time a spider lived in a fuel gauge....

Now we all know spiders like to live in land rovers. They do a good job catching flies, However flies dont often venture into fuel gauges so im not sure why it had ventured into said fuel gauge.

Im also not sure what type of spider it was? It was small with 8 legs.

Anyway a part of living involves dying and so the spider died....

The gauge then had the front cover un crimped and glass removed so the spider could be removed

You can tell it has been tampered with but you dont see the back when it is in the binnacle

may have to plagiarise this post for the relevant section in the alternative landrover Manual. As an aside, yes spiders have 8 legs, but like most arthropods, they are capable of re-growing lost limbs, a function which I am very jealous of....

sometimes 8 arms/hands would be very useful & not just for LR work.

Yes a place in the alternative land rover manual would be good : )

if you do manage to get it out... can I have it,,, paypal ok. oh and the postage. my fuel gauge looks a little bare at the moment, :D

I placed in carefully in the bin inside a matchbox lined with cotton wool..... however if this happens again I will keep this in mind.
