Afternoon folks :).

Was in the hot tub yesterday, draining and cleaning;). final clean today and it is now filling. Reason is its to ot to actually work out in the sun, but pool is refreshing:).
May have to start getting up a 5am and try start work to finish at 10 cos summer heat is here for sure. That might be a hard thing to do so may have to abandon outside work for a few months.

Need to get more stuff for the hot tub, Last lot we got from the UK and now it seems we are not on their "we post here list" E-mail will be needed me thinks as they do send to the EU. Its great stuff cos its natural enzymes or something so can be mixed ok if you go in out of the pool without affecting either, I have enough to do it this year.

Ms friend is arriving tomorrow morning 3amo_O, So it will be an early night for us and we will do a Metro shop on the way to pick her up.

Another day under me tratter engine bay, turbo removal! Something which should score ten spanners in a Haynes manual. Had to bend the heat shield to get it past the brake servo (easy to do as it is thin sheet metal and will easily bend back upon re-installation). Multiple awkward to get at bolts to remove ancillary parts, some knuckle skin removed in the process. And one extremely difficult and one impossibly difficult nuts to access between the turbo flange and the eggs zorst manifold. But with a stroke of genius I bored two strategically placed 25 dia holes through the inner wing (plastic) arch and by joining a couple of socket extension bars together, got a perfect alignment with both nuts. Good job anorl, it took a 24 inch breaker bar to start the "impossible" one. Left it still attached but loose, just the oil feed (easy access) and drain (*&£%@) to do tomorrow. And final removal of the turbo. After all this, it had better be bust! (I think it is, otherwise I would be doing something else). And unless you know someone more deserving, I am awarding myself the Bodgineer of the Week Award :cool:
Bizarrely sounds more difficult than the one on the Disco TD5, dunno whot you got mind!
Especially as you limit who can view your bitsn bobs!!!
