Good stuff. Glad you found them.
Thanks. Just driven around a bit and I am pretty sure that has sorted out the problem. Leaked a lot from those connectors and I never even considered they could be responsible! Seems to be running better too although that may be psychological! Every day’s a school day. Now to wait for the next problem….Good stuff. Glad you found them.
Nasty. That looks painful.Went for a drive and saw this on the side of the road - Late model Diesel FL1. Driver prob' went to sleep as it was at the end of a long straight. Left the road, climbed / straddled an earth bank and took out a concrete power pole which then landed on top of it.
Well, didn’t take long to find something else! One of the coolant hoses to the IRD has nearly been split by the gear change mechanism rubbing it as gears are changed. I have managed to move the hoses so it doesn’t chaff anymore. Have to change the hose soon as but didn’t have any handy replacement. Not the easiest thing to reach either but what is? Also have discovered why my FBH doesn’t work. Because I haven’t got one .Thanks. Just driven around a bit and I am pretty sure that has sorted out the problem.

Do you recognise the car HTR?Went for a drive and saw this on the side of the road - Late model Diesel FL1. Driver prob' went to sleep as it was at the end of a long straight. Left the road, climbed / straddled an earth bank and took out a concrete power pole which then landed on top of it.
Ouch. Shows how sturdy the body is though.Went for a drive and saw this on the side of the road - Late model Diesel FL1. Driver prob' went to sleep as it was at the end of a long straight.

A sad sight. Hopefully the occupants were okay. RIP another FLWent for a drive and saw this on the side of the road - Late model Diesel FL1.

It was North of Balclutha a few Kms before the Central Otago turn off. I initially thought it was a V6. I didn't see and signs of injury - airbags had deployed...Do you recognise the car HTR?
Presumably you must get to recognise the local FL1s to you.
Went hunting with my already senior german pointer. We have got quite a lot of snow now in Finland.

I was driving round a sharp corner couple of weeks ago and gave myself a fright on an icy part of the road.
TBH I was messing about and deliberately accelerated harder than necessary but was taken by surprise when the rear stepped out in a big way. I was expecting under steer but got a fist full of over steer instead. How does yours behave if you drive like a hooligan?
