Soz about the gout, mate. I have never had it but know peeps who have and they say it hurts like mad.
According to what I just read your severe op may be partly or even wholly to blame.
Need to see a quack about it, ifn you hain't already.

Now here's a thing for all those talking about Disco 3s and TDV6 engines.
According to nextdoor's guru who will be rebuilding the bust engine, D3s up to 2006 are OK cos the cranks in them are better and were made, not sure where, but I think somewhere in Europe, but from 2006 on they are Chinesium. So mebbe best to get an early one!!

He also recommends an uprated oil pump.

I get gout periodically in my left hand and wrist, hurts but normally can get it under control with paracetamol, codeine and ibuprofen. Lasts about a week. Problem is I’m not allowed ibuprofen while on the chemo drugs so the inflammation will run riot! Seeing the oncologist on Tuesday so have to put up with it until then.

The vultures have started by the looks of it, the wee lady in the next cottage from us went into a home this year.
Hardly seen her family here in 20 years, only her niece would come regular & one other chap now n again.
Now they are here every other day doing the garden & emptying the house getting it ready to sell me thinks.
So sad.

Need to sell it to pay for the home fees.
Or to rent it out, unfurnished.
Or mebbe she's died and they are sorting it out to sell.
