She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Thanx Greg. To be honest mate, I was bricking it in case she failed. Clearly I worried over nothing! :dance:

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered

)

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

no, its built into the switch. The switch has 3 terminals on the back, power (constant 12v via a fuse), ground and switched live. the switch just lights up when the switch is in the on position, and as long as you only give it 12v you dont need any resistors because its all built in. simples

yesterday, i found a crack (well more like a split on both sides) in the EGR pipe from the manifold to the EGRs, ok they have been blanked of, but the pipe had been left in place and blanked of at the end, noticed some black soot on the bulk head, now i will have to remove the pipe, and block it of at the manifold,

flying solo, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
