Re: What did you do to your rig today?
A four and a half hr return trip from Crystal Brook with a very noisy timing chain in the Prius, we had to drive with the engine not revving too much and that is rather hard with an engine throttle controlled by the computer rather than the accelerator, has forced me to look seriously into either replacing the timing chain and guides or the whole engine with one from the wreckers. With the radiator still out of the Hino and still at the radiator mob we are starting to run short of vehicles, only the Kombi and Mazda still registered and driveable, so it looks like a return to being a mechanic again is in order .... so looking forward to that

mmm, sounds like both T1 & myself have to invest in some time to do both timing chains>>??
I see a new Holden has been mooted so might see what tradein they give me for one of their famous lemons? (Crap-tiva?)

If you aren't doing the timing chain in your current ride then you'll have heaps of spare time to do mine for me

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Well I have been quietly getting ready for a quick four day trip to Kurramine Beach starting tomorrow, cancelled it today after 150mm home here in the last 24 hrs. Highway now cut at Tully. Herbert, Murray and Tully Rivers in major flood. Good thing it’s nice at home here
