    No, but my cousin had kidney problems and had to go to Townsville for dialysis. That is why I was doing his mail run. If he had lived long enough, his deteriorating kidneys would have forced him to move from Winton, where he had lived all his life, to Townsville. He died from a multiplicity of health problems two years later. Heart, kidneys, diabetes, etc.

    A wise person once said that pessimists are never disappointed:

    If someone fails then they can say "I told you so".

    If someone succeeds then they have the luxury of being silent.

    ...but the optimist will reap the benefit of experience...good and bad and then be able to celebrate and sympathise.

    A little sympathy and empathy might be in order?

    Proving your point is a hollow victory. That same wise person also said "it isn't good enough just to be right".

    notice how he didnt include a link to all the threads on tdi head gaskets, timing belts, or bent rods+ valve gear threads.....

    he also didnt mention
    praise for my TD5

    or

    TDCi Defender Appreciation Thread

    or

    98 TDi, the Disco is dead - blue smoke

    or how on none of the old school engines you can get a huge increase in power and torque by changing one component involving no measurements, calibrations or major spannering... Show me an old school engine that you can boost by say 50% using only a 1/4 drive 8mm socket and ratchet without and I'll be impressed re Proton energy pills
