Bundalenes Daughters 130 repair job

Thanks for that info.

At Gapuwiyak they only carry Glycol type coolants in their garage and who knows what gets topped up during a service. Sharon's current TD5 Defender has had a Glycol based coolant in the system for about 7 years now, without any ill effect.

There have been a number of threads about this previously,and I am quite comfortable about using it in the 130. The problem is when the 2 different products mixed , the coolant turns into sludge.

I must admit I run OAT in both our D2 and Defender down here in Sydney.

Erich.

Ahhhh, just spent an hour uploading photos. I wish i had a quicker computer.

The real annoying thing is this is all hidden behind the seat.:(

I have done almost all the wiring for the amps, speakers and subs, i am just awaiting the delivery of the head unit. It should be here monday.

A nice new father gave us some cool extras aswell. They will suit it nicely

What about the dog? :D


Naa, thanks mate, dads putting in some time on this, he was out there at 6 thismorning blocking back the roof. I'm starting to feel guilty for coming up with the plan/proposal. Almost:D.

Cougar is a dog, a little confused as most dogs are about their place in the family (our 3 are for sure), but still a dog.

In that pic of cougar and Sheila, didn't see any degreaser on Cougar's tail so I doubt if she was really helping :D:D

Cheers, Paul.

What a frustrating day. Weather forecast was for fine sunny day with a chance of a late thunderstorm.

Great day for painting AT LAST !!

We readied the panels, prepsoled them, mixed the paint when the weather warmed up a bit - around 9.30am.

Mixed the paint - it looked a bit greyer than I thought, but decided to coat the panels and see if it lightened up in drying.

Well - the paint was the wrong colour so I took the paint back to the supplier and 1 hour later I had what should be OK.

When I got home, just after lunch, the sky clouded over fully but it was still quite warm. I put on another 2 coats with a 20 minute break between each. Then waited for another 20 minutes for the final coat before the clear coat .... then the skies opened up :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Lucky I used a very fast hardener so I think all will still be OK with another coat of colour.

The intention was for 3 coats of 2 pack colour topped with 3 coats of 2 pack clear
