In a past life, someone had done a dodgy repair to the rear heater hose that runs the length of the bus, started getting warm on the long uphill on the desert road, when we started going down the other side it didnt cool down, so we pulled over, couldnt see nothing under the truck, then walked round the back to see the hilux covered in dripping antifreeze.
So camped there for the night.
Fixed it in the morning, had a slow uneventful trip the rest of the way home.

(Apart from hearing all the way home that I should have let the navi drive, and that I need to thrash my truck harder.....)

Your lucky, at least you know that you need to fix every panel on you zuk :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I said before it went to wellwood that if I wrecked both sides that it would be flatdeck time, but what ive done just doesnt quite make it worth the cut yet :(

Lets be honest, it was flat deck time a while ago. There is that much bog in the thing that soon it will weigh as much as a Nissan.
