Just fitted new 2nd radio antenna. Have a nice weekends mates :)
PS: actually I fitted a much smaller 2nd radio antenna for my Android headunit headunit which has dual antenna booster for FM and AM, so it uses signal from both factory antenna and new 2nd antenna to give clearer radio station signal. :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...02319cdc21.jpg
When you do the EGR delete, there is the option of removing the EGR cooler on some models. The hoses from the oil cooler to the EGR cooler comes of the back of the oil cooler. You blank this, and the return to the reservoir, at the reservoir end. You end up removing hose and metal pipe and hos and hose and end up with the oil cooler blanked and the reservoir blanked, both easy to see if they are leaking.Quote:

Glad you found it reasonably easily, that's a clever way of sorting the exhaust shield. I might have gone over kill and as some of the rivet's were ripping away on mine I drilled them all out and replaced them with rivnuts and bolts.Quote:

But bugger me sideways. The rocker cover gasket that was replaced in Dec 2019 has some weeping on the inlet side. All the bolts were tightened with a torque wrench. The gasket was an OEM one, I think.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Use a genuine gasket? etc?
I've replaced some of mine with washers and rivets.Quote:

That connector is notorious for rupturing - so I thought it better to delete the dead circuit.Quote:

My boys took the big girl with yaks on the roof fishing. Love how you can get 2 fat yaks side by side on the roof. The V8 sounded good at 3.45am. They reckon it ran nicely. Cheers
