Well ive just got back, where do i start ........... had agood day at the site quite a few challenges but had to retire at about 1 because my autolocking hubs were playing up :x (sorry didnt say bye geezers but couldnt find you) so started home and got lost then 5 miles from home total loss of power and cut out !

After being towed back to home had a good look over engine did a few tests the headgasket is no more and there is a terrible knocking from the bottom end so i think i need a new engine ! just what i need!

what to do buy another petrol engine straight swop, go for the 2.8 diesel if i can find one also dont know whats envolved or scrap it,

What a terrible end to the day so i think i might go and get bladdered :(
