Amazingly the bush just pushed out. Dug the bread out with a small pick, cleaned the hole up with a small piece of emery, no damage at all, perfect. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't done it myself. Very impressive.

Hmm. I always used grease, but I guess the principle is the same.

Yours (guessing per km)
$0.60 x 16 = $9.60

Mine
$0.98 x 10 = $9.80

Doesn't seem to be a problem from my side!!!
Similar cost per 100km, no fiddly gas tank eating GVM.
And I can carry 190L of the stuff in tank....

But he could eat his for lunch after he removed the pin

Not to mention the initial cost of the conversion
But they do get that oh wow feeling of the bent 8 noise when they boot it add`s to the fun factor .
What have we got a rattly diesel with power and economy

A TD5 spooling up through a nice open system is pretty sweet as well...
