time to put my thinking cap on.

a bit like ...................... Oh Steve could you move the Camira I need to get the Torana out so I can get to the Commodore. Steve – I'll have to get the keys to the Cortina ............................

Bengal's are cool, more like a dog which is probably why I like them.

Umm, it just took me to the coffee shop while I psych myself up to work on it.
Public holiday here in Federal Service Central...

Car visited auto elec to have air con compressor replaced and gassed up for Moreton Island trip coming up. Came back to collect discovered crack to radiator overflow pipe. Damn stupid plastic tanks!! He's going to have a go at tapping the tank, inserting a brass fitting with barb end then use something like Dyna grip plastic tank repair to seal it up. I've not tried the dyna grip before - broken off that stupid stub before but never right at the tank and usually just put a new radiator in some time later. I've not got the time luxury here to put in a new tank but not sure if dyna grip product will do the trick. Taking extra cartons of liquid with us jus to in case we need some emergency top ups while in the sand.

Any advice on/experience with Dyna Grip product?

Not quite today but I haven't been in here for a few days.
Started running on 3 or 4 cylinders and down on power.
Cleaned a crapload of oil out of the ecu plug and it ran great for ten mins (bonus was the cruise control started working again!) then back to running like crap.
Thanks to Mario and express post it now has a new injector harness and runs like a dream again...

I bled the coolant then ran the truck for a while and she got hot 110deg C so I shut the engine down.
I went back about 3-4 hours later and undid the cap on the expansion tank, The system was very much pressurised even when cool So I am assuming that the gaskets on the head/heads are rooted

time for an LS1

fitted brake controller. tow pro elite.

Radiator overflow spigot repair

Radiator overflow spigot repair

This is what I've done, OAT was eating all the other sealants I think due to the small surface area if you just tap into the tank?? Maybe the Dynamic Grip will work??

Not mine, but as I drove into Cooma this morning a D2 was sitting forlornly on the back of a tilt tray in a garage....
