Was a torn turbo pipe. They changed it under warranty. Last service was done at another service center and they put seals in back tonfront on the tappets so now they have it over night replacing all seals at the other service centers cost.

Yeh i thought i had more oil residue around my engine. But im no mechanic. The head service guy did also say that theirs are installed opposite to usual but its disapointing the other center says they can do the service but really they dont know how. Wonder what else they did wrong? Damn shame

Not today, but this week I Installed a $30, 1080P Dashcam from Fasttech.com - Works a treat, once I worked out how to change the language to English. This one if anyone is interested:

Also ordered and received hi lift/shovel mounts from eBay for my pending hi lift jack Christmas present :D

That's the one. Plenty of room inside and fits perfect with the lift.

New black ducks seat covers on, UHF installed, Rain shields on, aircon filter in,
full blanking plate in, scan gauge up n running, beer in hand that's enough for one day. ;)

Got bogged on Saturday, rookie mistake. :oops: Water had been on over night and thought it wasn't as wet as what it was so left it in 2wd. Got about half way through the second patch of mud and it started to slide, by that stage not even 4wd low and low tyre pressures could save me so slid straight into the ditch. :cry:

So went and got the crawler to give a helping had

Two observations for the incident, 1. Need new tyres, mine are almost slicks and 2. Need a winch ;) :lol:

Today however, led strip lights were added to the tub, under the hard lid. Them along with engine bay light, best thing since sliced bread. Very inexpensive but so practical! Way I'm going soon the car will have led strip lights everywhere!

Always embarrassing when you get stuck in your drive way haha. I made a rookie mistake right after the insurance company fixed my tub after some idiot in traffic decided to mount a medium and give me a nudge. I backed it straight into the telegraph pole right behind my drive way.

Felt like the biggest muppet. Oh well my brother has since connected my tailgate with his JetSki trailer so it's getting a few more dings. I mean character. Soon I'll look like every other triton getting around with a smashed tub

I removed the checker plate and filled the rivet holes in, Hit them with a wire wheel, a fresh coat of paint, left the bend there as it adds character, I just need to come up with a good story as to how I bent them ;)

No plug and play ISO looms in my future
