Hmm, let me guess which mob did it, hmmm I wont say it here.
Did you go back to them? They at the very least owe you a set of wheel nuts and an apology. |

i now know why this phrase is used so much ( Fixed Or Repaired Daily!!!)
GOD DAMN CAR. I am now about to walk up to my car, which is parked on the side of the road, to replace a heater hose that split. Just hoping that the car hasn't fryed. Will post the result up when i can get the car home.

update .
david from zippys got my el tickford head and rocker gear recod and he operated on her new good gaskets ,all bolts,thermostat,sparkplugs again,leads again,oil/filter again copious amounts of wasted coolant,hoses,coolant sensor,rad cap,fuel filter 900 odd $$ took 4 days to get head back. but engine is running awesome absolutley no misssing or carrying on the rear suspensions in aswell but there is a knock in the rhr shocky maybey stuffed but its not even 8,000km old .im going to pull it out and check if the knocks and go from there. it handles excellent apart from that . the power handling and brakes are pretty well matched can fly through corners 40-50% smoother faster  the front r/h brake pads ticking on slow breaking. i removed the caliper and found a metal spot on the bosch pad . ive bought fire power pads from isp for $25 full set semi metallic slotted and chamfferd which the bosch wernt iirc im putting them in tonight, YAY IMAGINATION CHRISTMAS

update
found a split thermostat hose which was caused by a cheap hose clamp. also top radiator hose was leaking under pressure due to it being silicone and with out wide clamps i added a extra skinny clamp and it seems that my minor cooling issues have subsided .I hope! any way it was 36 degrees ambient and the temp didnt go above the A even in traffic  head decks been in for a few days without issue . i have chucked in all the the wiring ,subs and amp. i made a pretty major mistake by wiring the 2 dvc 1000w 2 0hm subs in paralel instead of in series the amp is 2ohm thank jebus for thermal protection. i was gonna skitz till i showed dad what i did on the white board and realised  the 36amps of fuses would have been so close to cooking my maths reckons. |
