I've watched plenty of CSI.

What I think we have here is the beginnings of a 300tdi serial killer.

First occurred in Alice Springs a few months back, and now a seemingly healthy 300tdi succumbs to the mysterious brown sludge.
Surely it can't just be coincidence *key dramatic music*....

Thought occurred to me, don't worry. Wasn't running on oil though by the time I got to yours, just the expensive stuff I drained my diesel tank into yours, but there's a good chance that the rusty bits went with it. Filter was fine - crap didn't get past the tank end of the fuel line.

Seriously though, hope you're doing better - you looked in quite a bit of pain yesterday.

Spent the morning at the physio, then in bed most of the day, physio again Thursday. Thank god I have workers
