My week so far.
I have just finished slotting a Chev. 6.5liter TD into my 100 series landcruiser.
I got sick of pissin off truckies when I was towing the van. ( 90kph flat out)
Finished the project a couple of weeks ago, all good until yesterday.
Jumped in the ute to head up to the pub (to find Terry's paper) and the bastard wouldn't start.
#$%*!
I imported this motor from the US because it runs a mechanical pump (no common rail, no ECU)
No flash electronics to fcuk up out the back of woop woop.
Put diesel in it, it should go right? Wrong!
It turns out that Mr Toyota's landcruiser's run 9volts + to their glow plugs and the Chev plugs run 6volts.
So over a period of four weeks I've managed to burn out all 8 of my glow plugs.
Now that would piss you off right?
Well I've got more.
I borrowed the lovely Evelyn's flash new G6E to go out to the workshop to grab my multimeter and hit a wallabi on the way back.
When I hit it I cracked the #$%*s bigtime and kept driving.
I did slow down and kept an eye on the temp gauge though.
As I drove into our driveway there was a thump and I ran over something.
Yep, thats right, the boody wallaby was jammed in the grill and as I turned into the driveway the bastard of a thing dropped out.
I ran over it again and there was blood and guts all over the driveway!
The next morning up I get to head up to the pub to pick up Tez's paper.
No ute, no car, ok I'll take the mobility scooter.
My mother, God love her has ahlzimers.
At some stage she decided to give my scooter a wash with the hose.
Yep you guest it, it's fcuked.
I'M PISSED OFF
