The problem is that they need to replace the top air conditioning pipe as it has a bend in it and it is a U.K. supply part only (JUE 110330) So it looks like it will be off the road for a while yet.

Get an aftermarket (upgraded) intercooler whilst your doing it...

Yep. that's what I intended, but alas, the radiator inter-cooler, etc. must be sent away to some bloke who is a specialist and he won't do anythhing but orignal parts on an insurance claim

Geez mate

You were lucky in one way but unlucky in another.

I hit a Western red on morning on the way to Ayers Rock in a coach
The stupid animal hopped out and stood upright in front of me, Hit him at 110 kph. No bar on the coach.. $ 16000 damage. 1 headless roo and a lovely old english lady concerned if the animal would be ok.
