And so to a mates house to assist in re fixing ridge tiles hmmmm..........
I believe you can see A&E from up there
Good morning err so far
Exactly! Let's kick it in the bollock. Good luck with that, Stevie. You're fighting the devil's work.
Andy, feck 'n' shite. Glad it wasn't too horrific, but must have been very upsetting. Best to all.
It's an age thing, mate. Happens to us all, in the end, I'm told. I don't look forward to the day when a simple plumbing issue stops my turbo from kicking in.
Morning, all. A day of work. Yaaawwwwnn! Started the day dropping my car with F1 Wax for a machine polish and ceramic coating, including the wheels. I look forward to easier cleaning. I've also decided to invest in a Raceglaze water filter for even easier cleaning. Should save a lot of time and will defintely help avoid scratches.
Still got to paint the thing. If I make a grand ill be amazed and recon Ive put 200hrs into it so thats me on £5 an hour then!
Minimum wage is £7.83...you need to sell it for more.
Which gets me thinking, I was watching Wheeler Dealers the other day.. the amount of time they put into some cars surely they should factor in time spent on some cars. Not to mention, tools required...£10 for the SAAB 96 window rust is a p-take...he used a £1000 pounds of tools!
Morning, well Adam, it was a plumbing issue...where the numpty (me) who refitted it, forgot to connect one end of the EGR cooler. Basically, the manifold pressure to spin the turbo was being lost. There was also an oil leak to the turbo, new copper washer fitted and thats that sorted. One issue still remains now I have full pressure back, I get a screeching noise as the turbo builds....another leak but hoping that will be the last one.
So, the test drive...no overheating which was my main concern, not build up of gassed in the coolant system so my head work has held. Pulled like a train and drove lovely.
Starts first time hot or cold, just needs a second go when its warmed down a little but we are finally making some head way.
So whats she had?
