Yep. :mad: :mad: :mad: I didn't feel I could trust it due to strange unexplained coolant abnormalities. Seeing as I had replaced all the hoses, expansion tank and cap and thermostat and flushed the entire cooling system about 10 times I figured new water pump and a HG had better be next on the list. On removing the head it was immediately obvious that the dowels were deformed and there are black marks where the gasket has been shifting. Hopefully it'll be back on the road next weds.
 
Rear axle got replaced by 2 shadey looking characters :rolleyes:
