Hope that's not a rather apt GIF, given the amount of flooding down that way.

Howay Ian, update please, or I'm leaving your fan club. Might join Blu's when he gets a new Scoob.

Morning chaps

Gif is pretty cool...you would have to swap the water for petrol though for the wagon

Small delay due to the blue car needing new n/s driveshaft, starter, lower ball joints and track rod ends, mostly caused by trying to source a starter heat shield...which has left it in the way! Hoping to get that sorted this weekend and the engine in next weekend...finished all the final jobs for the install though so literally have to just sort blue car and I'm there

Hmmmm...good or bad day yesterday, I'm still undecided; everything ready, everything in place about to install the clutch and then I see it...tiny nick in the bearing cover of the spigot bearing. Nowhere open sells them, game over for the weekend.

I guess it's good really as a failure would mean engine out...just bloody frustrating being so close. Will ring Alyn Monday and sort a replacement; next weekend FTW, sorry chaps...what a tease
