sorry mate, would love to have you on board but the 20th isn't to long now

i cant wait and i have you stickers for you as mines now done by Audra :wink:

Well, well, well - what a disaster - was on my way up to Frickly 4x4 nr Doncaster for a nice day of Pay & Play in the Mud but unfortunately had to stop half way to call the AA - after a long conversation, several test's & a lot of if's & but's we agreed on the fact that my Head Gasket is slowly but steadily failing :cry:

So to limit the damage to car & engine, I decided to be recovered back home, having now the pleasure of sorting out this rather expensive problem :oh yer:

. I knew that it would be coming at some point but was hoping to do a proper engine overhaul later on in the year - well, now its a good selection of gasket's, a new thermostat, water pump & timing belt kit -might as well get it all done whilst it is stripped down.

Never mind - we do love our Fronties :roll:

don't we

Just a shame that I can't do it myself to safe some money - hope the Garage down the road isn't to expensive - than again, they are specialized in Engine Building & Overhaul

Yup, was running constantly hot despite the fact of having a manual override - also did an exhaust leak test through the radiator/coolant and the tester picked up exhaust gases in the coolant i.e. it's leaking inside rather than out - pump & thermostat seem to work but as I said, might as well get it all done whilst it is stripped.

Let's hope it's not MEGA Bugs - can get the parts cheap enough but the labour will be crashing :roll:

Anyway, let's hope for the best

i was stuck in trafic and when it to RED AND WATER STARTED coming out needs to fit all abut 10 times in 20 mins

sorry to hear about the truck Ilja if thier is out i can do just let me know im only up the road Rob

thanks my friend, much appreciated. Waiting for a quote at the moment - timewise it doesn't seem to be a problem, just hope the costs aren't killing me :roll:

I'll keep you posted

well fingers crossed its not silly money
