If your 1988 Range Rover had the V8 engine, you're wrong. The

3.5L V8 (aren't they all V8?).

1988 saw the introduction of the diesel version.

Well the metric bits fitted it, I guess
they must have been close enough. And being a Range Rover, I had
virtually every bolt off that thing keeping it running.

Close enough probably is good enough for you. In which case some of
the AF sockets in your new set will be 'close enough' too.

But then anyone who can't identify a Unified or Metric bolt head by
looking at it would be best to stick to Lego.

If it's rusty (Ranger Rover remember?) then there won't be a marking
left on it. Also due to rust, they always change size a little too.

Prick.

So, Mr all knowing, how do you tell the difference?
