What has made you Angry Today???????

Never been to Mansfield... And for this reason probably never will!

I honestly can't remember a time I didn't go through Mansfield without the Main Street check on a long weekend.

And if he does... Who cares! Hahaha

Yeah, not me! Good luck to him... I'll keep an eye out for the grumpy old bastard.

I'd give Mansfield a wide berth mudski, cut in from Jameson way if your heading up to the hills. Heaps further but should avoid grief and a nice drive. Unfortunately, there's something about Mansfield. . .

Yep. The Eildon-Jamieson Rd I'll be taking.

Its a shame though, as its a nice place.

Fark fark fark............. something's not right at all with the old clunkers cooling system. Been using it to go back and forth to work in this week. So on Monday morning started her up and at first didn't seem to be firing on all cylinders, couple of dabs on the accelerator and was good. On the way temp rose to about 3/4 on the old reliable stock gauge. So before driving home Monday night, checked coolant level and ended up having to top up with a litre of coolant, overflow bottle level was on minimum. So kept the radiator cap off, started her up and again not firing on all cylinders at first, then came good. Lots of bubbles from the radiator filler too for a few minutes but came good, so I thought ok, probably had a bit of air in the system. Temp gauge sat under half way on the drive home, which is where it normally sits.
Tuesday morning start the car, once again seemed like it wasn't firing on all cylinders at first but came good quickly and temps stayed normal to and from work. Same thing this morning and leaving work but only about 1km from home, temp gauge rose and rose very quickly to just past 3/4, so turned the heater on fully hot and nursed home. Still to hot to check how much coolant has been lost but there's not much in the in the overflow............ So I'm fearing the worst and right now it could not have come at a worse time, what with trying to sell the fecking thing and the boys hospital visit next week. To say I'm mightily pissed off right now would be an understatement.

[mudski]

Thats no good mate. I doesn't sound like its going to be something easy to fix too. Maybe a head gasket??? If so try some Silver seal in it, if your getting rid of it. Or until at least you can fix it properly.

Hope it's nothing too bad.

Yeah can't just do a quick fix, would way heavily on my conscience. I need it sold so it needs to be done properly.

Doesn't sound good clunk. Hope there is a way forward that isn't too bad.
