    Souns nicer than my loaner. Had dash lights in it last night for the first time. Took 4 fuses to get the indicators going again once the dash lights started working. There's no stereo, only the passenger lock works, drivers door doesn't seal (It's worse than the defender) doesn't idle most of the time either.
    Parts arrived today but I'm still waiting on the Head and exhaust maifold.

    Got the Head back and it looks like new! Put the injectors back in and now discovered some of the bits are missing. Now means I can't put it all back together this weekend so will have to wait till next week to get the missing bits.

    Become a pessimist instead of an optimist then even a bad week will be good



    Ironically this statement sounds like something an optimist would say

    Hope so It's cost me thousands withme doing most of the labor. Even the Head was $850 with me supplying all parts. Exhaust manifold cost $100 to skim. It's amazing how quickly the cost can change!

    Almost lost it at work on friday. Just got pushed past the point of control. Beat up my desk and went for a long walk, came back and appologised to those I work with and just told them I'm over the edge and shouldn't be here today. First time in my working carrer I have had that feeling on the way to work of stuff it I want a fight. Closer I got the angrier I got. Then when I actually got there everything was already going wrong. At least I left early before I did something stupid.
