Heaps of sh*t. Not an easy job. You also need to know where you're going to move them to, so you can calculate hose lengths etc.

I just remember how difficult it was to install my oil cooler, I had to fabricate a bunch of brackets & fitting those high pressure fittings on the hoses was a c*nt of a job. Took the better part of a whole day to get it right with no leaks.

Yep, that's why I said 'another day'.

Id very much like you to keep my car for a few days to try and work out/fix what the idling issue is. Cash money your way would be involved of course if you fancy a challenge.

Sure, but haven't half a dozen mechanics not been able to work that out yet?

They just keep trying to flog me new computers and I don't want to spend $3k doing that. It worked fine before, it should be able to work fine still. It all started when we came back from Wakefield.

Interesting logic :scratch: Especially when used in conjunction with the word 'Wakefield' :lol:

I'll have to check my schedule as we're pretty full up all the way to the wedding.

Sounds like the damn noise in our car.

Add to that several other FTO members and random people. Both for AJ and myself :lol:
