    Driveway accident.

    Grrrrrr!
    Did a service on the truck this afternoon. Lost one of the bolts for the centrifuge filter Dropped the old filters both the centrifuge and the paper one on the engine ops: ops: . The to cap it all of my was oil container collecting everything from the sump cracked and dumped half its contents all over the dirve
    In an effort to find the bolt and move the container without spilling the rest of the oil I had to roll the truck down the drive so now my tyres are covered in oil ops: ops:
    This is because last time a came in and proudly announced it was the easiest service I had ever done on a vehicle. The car gods are getting me back. The only good thing is oil pressure is up a bit more than before 8)

    They might think I'm practicing for the summer nats. I will be at a birthday party tomorrow where a couple of the guys are waiting to see the beast.
    My brother will be there and with drinking he might try and talk everyone to paint zebra strips on it. He thinks it despratly wants them.

    But does it leave lovely tyre patterns on the drive disconut?
    At least my beast seems happy. Now the wifes car is sulking and done a seal in the power steering pump. At least got a pump of a mate for exchange parts. Now just got to pick it up and fit it.

    No, but it does leave four crescent shapes to remind of where to pull up. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

    Are you going to do the power steering on the drive? You might muck up your tyre pattern mural! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
