    I agree! Surely out comes down to management?
    Check out this info from Wikipedia;
    Japanese railways are among the most punctual in the world. The average delay on the Tokaido Shinkansen in fiscal 2018 was 0.7 minutes. When trains are delayed for five minutes, the conductor makes an announcement apologizing for the delay and the railway company may provide a "delay certificate"

    0.7 minutes average delay for the whole year!!

    Best way to beat road traffic and travel on their bigger neighbours turf too @320kmph only achieved top end there so far.


    Unfortunately they do suppress disasters that did occur from under engineering in earlier days trying to keep up with Japanese Jones’s.

    Crazy efficient eh? I work all around Vic and Oz contract to contract and spend a lot of time on the travel. Live in Geelong and when I need to go in and out of Melbourne CBD or inner suburbs for a month or so each day I public transport it as the road system from the west is so overloaded I can't guarantee I'll get to where I'm going on time. Then you get a 39 degree day and the train system chucks a wobbly. Ridiculous. At least today's return train left on time but again trundled along at trotting pace. Wasn't so pissed seeing it actually took off on time although late on arrival.

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    I believe the only warning was a big puddle of green coolant underneath the car.

    Water leaking from the tell tale hole is about the only way mate. It's just the seal that go on them. Impeller might wear out on a really old one but unlikely.

    The tell tale hole is in the neck of the pump sorry if behind the pulley. Hard to see when it's all in place.

    Darrens was so bad it was a jet stream coming out and very visible. With mine I originally thought it was just a leaky gasket so pulled it off and could make it the water mark coming from the weep hole so world of only got worse and worse.

    What's yours doing?
