Cooling and brakes were tested prior to departure...in a cane paddock...
I had replaced all cooling rubber bits and belts 6 years or so ago... She'll be fine lol he says 1800 km in . 4 year old diesel is not the best. Lacked some power. Now it doesn't run on when you turn it off.

I do need to make a shield for the clutch slave ... its gone walkabout, the pedal gets worse as the day went on then get better the next morning...
since removing all the weight I doubled the gap between the tyre and the wheel arch ...
ended up doing a fuel filter beside the road, but surprisingly the tyres held up..
I do think the old girl could benefit from some new shocks I've put over 100k km on these Monroes

I got some headers bout 2.5 inch at the slave, when the pedal went I just shifted without the clutch until I got to town. although not much changing down the highway sitting on 90km/hr.
sadly its not the first time I have changed gears in cars without clutches ...
