hell i hope that they get on top of it soon for you PR. Im recovering from an op at the moment so can sympathise with you on the pain mate, had my bits poked and prodded back into place a week ago and the hole bogged up in my grion (my a$$ tried to exit out of my nuts apparently!) not good and very very painfull .... today was the first day i could even get into my truck .. tried to run the clutch ...reversed it out of the garage and that was enough ... left it in the iddle of the drive for the Mrs to put away later ... looks like it will be at least a week before I can drive again ...

a small water leak was discoverd in the in/out let area of the engine, just above the water pump (TD27) After I finished work at 1pm I got some gasket paper and RTV to repair this leak for tomorrows safari adventure.
Now it's 4.20pm and I have just managed to put it all back together. Bloody gasket paper was too thick so re-used the metal gasket and rtv smeard the rubber seal on the bottom section.
what a sod it was to remove as there was 2 hidden bolts uderneath it with a small water hose in between them.
These Japs must be crunning clunts to get things like that in place, its sooooooo tight. Thought of removing the radiator to get at it all, but the tranny cooler is in there too!
Well just a wee while longer to wait and I can proceed to over tighten all the bolts , all 8 of them, and water leak test it.
Missus aint too happy as we are sposed to be going out for a BBQ tea! Maybee i'll send her on ahead.

PR dam boy you told me that you can't get your hands drity.

hope you get well soon
