My friend, you are making a lot of assumptions. Firstly I live on the side of a hill with my garage on the roof of my house with very limited street access. Secondly the ol garage creaks n groans something shocking every time I put my Suzuki SV650 in it let alone the wheel barrow. Now imagine what would happen if I tried to put the landy in it . I start work at aout 8 ish so the sun has been up about 60 minutes or less in this part of the world and somtimes I finish about 6 ish on a good day and the sun is already gone by then. So as I said I'll get the Landy expert to have a squizz at it and do another couple of jobs (timing belt & the nasty paper gasket at the back of the water pump) all at once. This will give me a base line to work from and I'll maintain it from there on myself. I wish I had a big double garage with a beautiful concrete floor, but I dont, I have a Million dollar view of one of the pretiest harbours in Oz in stead

Thanks for the advise, I'll certainly supply my own oil. It will hopfully cure the "i can't get it out of reverse" issue I have at the moment.

As for enjoying my Landy, I love it. I have a Red VP Commodore Ute out on the street that I want sold ASAP. I absolutly hate it, the seats don't fit, the carpets don't fit, the instruments don't work etc etc etc. Gimme me new toy any day, I can get 300k out of the same amount of fuel in the Landy as I'd get for 120 round town in the ute . I get the freshly re sprayed tray back tomorrow and then I'll put the canopy back on sometime shortly. In the meantime I have 10 days on the goldcoast defrosting .
