    Well i have been flat out at work so haven't had much time to get on here.. Im sure some of you may have seen the photo's from the craigs Hut trip of me under the bonnet of my troll a couple of times lol..
    Story goes..
    Started off Sat morning when the Engine light started randomly coming on, then the troll started overheating at the first sign of a hill, followed by running the Batteries complety flat an hour away from Camp haha.. Have since found out that i had broken the wiring off the back of the Altenator (now fixed), and the engine light was on because of a "error in communication with Injector pump".. Code and engine light have dissapeared and not come back so god only knows what happened lol..

    Have also stripped the front of the car down to replace thermostat and fresh coolant, while it was apart i took the radiator in to get checked only to be told that the top tank was no good (from a hairline crack), and that the radiator was about 90-95% blocked with Crap.. This would explain the overheating which is good.. Now just gotta put everything back together and im all set for the next trip

    Amazing how everything always Buggers up at the same time LOL

    Another quick update.. Issue with the troll atm, seem to have stuffed the dual mass flywheel. Very rough idle and slip in the driveline. Had it checked and confirmed.. Looks like im up for about 2g for a new solid mass and clutch kit.. Abit annoying but thats the joys of owning a 4wd i guess Lol
