My engine bits arrived back from the engineering shop. The heads have been treated to a chemical clean, pressure test, valve guides, a light skim and three-angle valve job. My sump had a huge drain plug fitted which had been over tightened and was showing signs of cracking. I had the hole tig welded shut, machined and re drilled for a new plug. Very pleased with the work, looking forward to putting it all back together and putting it back in the hole! smile

Put the battery on charge after the dreaded click, click, click on start up.
OK Guys, who's cut a hole in the scuttle pannel so you can get to the negative terminal on the battery?
Gotta be a no brainer?

I have a 4.5 so I just use the passenger side forward airbox bracket but in principle I'm right there with you in just finding another earth! smile
