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.

Nursed it home after some mild off roading (i.e. a bumpy and twisty dirt road) has caused the gearbox to die. Now I have no initial drive from a stop until a couple of grinding sounds and a thump from the gearbox and then all is good.

Fitted new inlet manifold gaskets, cleaned the EGR valve and IAC valve, checked that the right coil was in no 6. Filled her with High Octane and some injector cleaner. So now have no vacume leak anywhere, but car still idles at 1400rpm. Has lost the misfire though which I think was coming from the EGR valve being stuck open.
Tomorrow morning heading out for a long Italian tune then MOT.......hopefully all goes well

Aye, tad further than Liverpool, thats a given.... Still be good though. But how would you get folks away from the BBQ long enough to actually get anything done? And would you get underneath it? I mean have you seen some of those creepy crawly things they got down there?
