    I thought it was a wheel barrow collecting a human. Not sure what that's got to do with a button though.

    That was another option that was available, along with missile launchers and smoke screens. I don't need the latter obviously as that's already built in as standard.

    TBH If you've achieved all that inside 2 months, then I think we should shun you and not answer for showing us all up. However, on the assumption that you are not telling the truth, you've not achieved anywhere near that level of success, and...

    Normally one of them is in the house but it somehow ended up here. :vb-confused2: Today after washing it I jumped in and felt a drip from the interior light! Turns out the roof new aerial I installed a few months back is leaking. I guess the...

    Replaced glow plugs. Waiting for tomorrow morning to see if it starts without smoke now. also replaced intake manifold for one i cleaned out earlier. Learned valuable lesson: if you use a pressure washer to clean the manifold out, don't stand...

    The NZ crew will need at least 6 weeks confirmed notice to ship the cars over. Oh, and a spectacularly successful Go Fund Me page!

    The evidence is in plain sight. You need multiple files, because different ones do different jobs, ditto the scissors and other items there. However, unless I'm mistaken, or we have identified your superpower, it is not humanly possible to use...

    I'm pretty good at loosing everything so the first thing I did after building my garage was screw this board to the wall and hang my spanners in full view. I still loose them from time to time but usually not for long.

    TBH, there is always sludge on the drain plug, its a question of how much and whether there are any shards in it.

    When we check van at work, we have to check if it needs an engine service, cambelt or transmission service/fluid change. On the new VW Crafters, the transmission service is every 260,000 kms. That seems a stupid length of time. At that...

    I think only the V6 was sold in the US and they were only automatic. As you say clutch, that means its not a V6 so was never sold in USA. The V6 diff will be identical, and the V6 IRD can likely be used, although they were different part...

    There are lots of "2002" L Series F1's over here, and K Series of the same model year. Don't think I've ever seen a 2001, so they were obviously a batch sitting "somewhere" on the planet and ended up being sold for the first time here in 2002.
