    Are we there yet?

    Need a status update Mike - it's gotta be running by now..

    Did you need to cut off the roots that were growing down into Verns shed floor, or has it got enough grunt to tear them out??

    As it happens, spent the last couple of hours getting the Disco going... Old age is finally catching up with it...

    Tomorrow, connecting up the coolant hoses, filling it with fluids, and connecting a set of jump leads to the starter motor to see what happens.

    Motor's fine, what was in the fuel tank wasn't. I got a bad batch of fuel somewhere, or possibly what came out of my tank when I drained it. Either way, 300tdi's don't run on brown sludge apparently
