madmike Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) Sitting in front of the heater at the moment :D Bloody brass monkey weather! Car goes in for a head gasket replacement this week. :lol: Johno Edited June 5, 2006 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Car goes in for a head gasket replacement this week. :D Johno Oh bummer - when I started up my diesel Hilux this morning it idled for a while then gave this funny kick, then I got what sounded like a lot of tappet noise which gradually faded as it warmed up - me thinks I might be up for repairs too soon.

madmike Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) Yes, ouch was a censored version of what I said when I found out... But at least it will be fixed. Most places wanted to have the car for a week. This mechanic (recommended by a co-worker who is a mechanic himself) has all the parts at hand and can drop a reconned head immediately onto the block without sending the original away to be reconned. I get the car back in two days :D MikeJ Edited June 6, 2006 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
