    Stranded and broken 94 TDI anybody in newcastle area?

    Help I need some Ideas. Iwas heading south from Brisbane on holidays with the Misus when we had just finished the first leg of the trip Camping at Brooms Head headed to Newcastle then Canberra when we got about 60ks from newcastle there was smoke and all sorts happening looks like my lady wasnt watching the temp gauge! so now the disco is sitting at my uncles place with what is belived to be a cracked head. when you turn the engine over she spews all the water out of the resivour.

    Anybody know a mechanic in newcastle or is it a dead donky? car cost 4000 not wanting to blow big money as it has been costing me a bit latley.

    anybody know a wreaker who would be interested?

    so im back in brisbane got a car full of camping gear in newcastle and every way i look at it its going to cost me a packet.

    Hi mate, doesn't sound too good, bugger.

    Give all fourx4 a call they are in newcastle (kotara) and have a lot of parts/knowledge about landys. If you do want to get rid of it, they might probably take it off your hands as well.

    Spares:

    If you're in RACQ with Ultra Care they will tow your vehicle home, ie back to Brisbane.

    A 200TDi head won't be an easy find if it is cracked.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
