A massive thank you...

[Aitch]

To Tenman for taking on the job of changing my turbo gaskets; to Wacomuk who just turned up to visit a mate and then spent several hours under my car; to Silviagod for letting us use his place (and tools and knowledge and technical know how) and to Mrs Silviagod for the millions of brews she made. :thumbs:

Everything seems to be fine and I really can't thank any of you enough. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

I'll try and post the "I've been to see god" pics tomorrow.

The SXOC = :cool:

[silviagod]

I don't know whether I got poor Aitch's face on the pic during the EGR removal but his 1.00am expression was also a picture:D
Don't forget to pop back Aitch or send us a pic of your car for my visitors page.:thumbs:

why, you surprise me Tenman:D :p

I trust you didn't have the same bother with the oil feed?

You should be a expert now;)

[wacomuk]

Tenman

what did you do with the snapped mani stood ? and the down pipe bolts ?

[AL]

ooh bloody ell, you DID have fun:eek:

[Aitch]

We finished at about 1.30 am, after starting the job shortly after midday. :(

Snapped exhaust stud was not a problem - the other two held it just fine. The snapped manifold stud will be sorted when I get back from Canada.:thumbs: The manifold isn't blowing and I'm not driving any real distance before I go away so it should be fine.

The oil feed pipe was struggled with for a very long time until Silviagod appeared and just popped it straight on in a matter of minutes :notworthy

My face was quite a glum picture for most of the day because things didn't go as smoothly as I (or Tenman) had hoped :(

And my face looked a bit like this--> :eek: when it came to the EGR removal.

Even though I wasn't my usual chatty self and had a mouth that looked like god had put it on upside down for most of the day, I actually really enjoyed myself and learned a hell of a lot and now feel less of a technical pleb than before. Once again thanks to all concerned.
