Buggerall Landy stuff happening here - I have been working 7 days a week since September - even worked Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Took New Years Day off, though. Took today off, too. You'll see why in a bit.
Thanks for the Christmas card Jas - much appreciated.
The Aussie Bride had a wheel bearing go on her crappy Citroen - God I hate that car. I managed to get the wheel bearing sorted - the cheats way - the bearing is pressed into the rear brake drum - so I bought another drum with the bearing in it and just threw that in.
Coming home last Wednesday night I felt the engine nip up a couple of times on the Disco. Looks like I ran out of water - I found a pinhole in the top radiator hose when I looked on Thursday. It had been rubbing on a power steering pipe. I noticed the replacement hose has a webbed cover around that area - maybe there have been a few of these mishaps...
Let me tell you - that top hose goes all over the place - strangest hose I have seen - and the bottom connector is a real pig to get to. Finally got it done and just put water in it for now. Took it for a ~13km run in the heat of the day and the water level didn't drop any further. No white **** in the oil and the inside of the oil filler cap is not looking like the top of a cappuccino. I'll take it in to work tomorrow and see how that goes. If it's all working without leaks I will drain and flush the cooling system out and put in some new OAT fluid I have here - maybe next weekend.
