Damn, I am at work at the moment and my son who was about to load the car rang me and said one of the front brake bleeding nipples is weeping FFS.

Ah well, toys will have problems and this is only a small one

But I reckon you blokes put the mos on us - LOL

[Silly Rabbit]

Is anyone close by who can go administer a handful of drugs and help Ian fix his clutch master cylinder?. He needs to be at the 6Hr!!!!!

[Roscos]

at this stage it looks like i wont make it
i am as sick as six dogs,with the flu
then i went to put the blue shitter on the trailer and the clutch m/cylinder decided to shit itself
the way i feel at the moment its just to hard ,

What you need is a good bottle of red and a lay down with the wife......bysides that be carefull on the Hume Highway, all speed camera's are working, caught them on the way home from Sydney.

i took some heavy duty flu bombs, it seemed to have helped a bit , it made me a bit thirsty
so i pried open the beer frudge ( it was made in NZ ) . and had a couple of beers
that made me feel a heap better, now all i have to do is figure out how to get down off the roof ,

[pac]

pm sent F\Book.

Have a pit stop on the way and we can put it up on the hoist

[timbosaurus]

Jeez guys, I feel so helpless from here. I can't even help relieve the burden of Ians frudge!

Adam, I had an intermitant vibration/knock from the rear end that came and went, gradually getting worse. I left it too long until it got unbearable on the highway, but thought I might be able to limp it home at 40kph until big BANG! and no-drive.

Turns out it was the 4 x tailshaft -> diff bolts had came loose, so when it was centred it was fine, but when it cam off-centre it turned bad. eventually the force snapped the bolts and left me stranded.

So do me a favour and check them while it's up on the trailer!

Ian, get well, you crazy bastard.

Timbo, what are you doing up so late? Go to bed - LOL

Ours is sorted, no biggie.

Bring it on!!!

last minute motors Cliff came home after shakrdown last night with a blown exhaust manifold gasket
drive way repairs worked I hope
my front yard is full of cars trailers and tow vehicles

[SilverRA23]

Thanks Timbo... my vibration was rear end and was fixed by putting good tyres on it rather than the cheap chinese second hand job I had on there holding it up off the ground...

I have another drama... whacked new battery in two nights ago... noticed acid leaking from it when I went and visited Matty... cleaned it up thinking it might be just overfilled... got to work this morning and its still doing it.

Drag mulitmeter out to test my theory of overcharging... sure enough.. at idle its 14 volts... with a few revs on board its at 18 volts. Guess regulator/alternator is fubared.

Fortunately the auto elec near work didn't have anything booked in today.. hoping they can fix it today!!

[Silly Rabbit]

...geez man...of all the reliable cars in the team ....hope he gets it sorted pronto.

I just finished packing the car and she is good to go.......i'll be meeting up with Ian and Van at Kalkallo at 12.........praying for no rain but it looks ok so far

[SilverRA23]

I reckon I will be up later than planned tonight.. to get the alternator off the driveshaft has to come out... its a sealed nippon denso alternator... blah blah blah... i am going to get bent over when i return to collect it later.

[ian]

i am running late so dont bust anything getting there by 12
it will be closer to 1pm when i get there

[timbosaurus]

Ah, Adam, the penny just dropped. You're racing the tomato, not the celica. Ignore my previous rant lol.
