How come the older I get I am more patient with things and she is getting less patient ???

I know what its like, I think half the stress in my life is caused by me worrying about how my wife will react to difficult situations.

My daughter was complaining about the smell today and told Mags about it.... she is now worried about the family being in the car for the High Country trip.

Good hey.. I dont blame her but it does get me down.

Oh well onwards and upwards!!!

Did you find anything when you washed it?

EDIT: Actually, what I think you said earlier (I think) might be the answer......is the smell magnified in the car because if the qtr chop?

I still have some fumes coming in the back of my Old Trol under heavy acceleration, even after using foam tape to seal the doors, so the smoke from an oil leak could very well get sucked up through the open panels. I have just read some of the work required for the oil pump. Radiator, shrouds, belts harmonic balancer etc. Big job if that is where the leak is.

Nice ride

My tensioner for the aircon was making heaps of noise so I managed to get a new one and fitted late today.... it was so loud it was embarrassing.

Also noticed idle was a bit funny so got the multi meter onto the tps and it was sitting on 5v so dropped it back down to 4v and adjusted the idle to suit.

Was in the middle of doing the mod on the viscous fan when the special oil I had disspeared right in front of me and after 30min of going crazy I just gave up and walked away...beer in hand and onto computer

Just a little update... if its not too annoying and that is George fixed the oil pump leak just before our big trip and the car ran like a dream but there is another oil leak that is coming from the gearbox I put in from the donor car as my gearbox was noisy in 5th gear and syncro's were starting to play up a bit.

Many have been commenting about the smell as to have I and it seems the oil is running down the fork on the thrust bearing and landing on the exhaust leaving all who travel inside with burning eyes !!!!

Now I have to work out how I will approach this next issue?? As we were driving down to Dargo Mags was asking me to just sell the car and buy an X-Trail... she is so funny!!!

Your not getting a break are you? What a sh*t about the oil leak. A prick of a job for just a seal...Back to George's workshop?

[Bloodyaussie]

Yeah pretty hard pill to swallow as I am the most broke I have been in years but I cant just lay down and do nothing??

Other problem is my back is really bad? ?

Anyway onwards and upwards. .
