Title: Think I've found my lost ponnies
Post by: Steve_PD on 05 April 2009, 16:18
Was looking around the engine bay today and noticed the airbox hose was off slightly  :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:
Also checked all the intercooler hoses and then took it for a spin.

No flatspots and pulls like fook  :evil: :evil: then my intercooler hose popped off and I was smoking more than Rhyso derv  :lipsrsealed: :wink:
Seems all good now going to run it for the week and see how it goes  :cool:

Nowt to do with me  :lipsrsealed: that would be because of the new opencast mine we have - big huge Caterpillar dump trucks and diggers up there! 

mate of mine works for CAT - said he saw one the other day with a nice hole in the side of the block - £100,000 for a new engine!!  :shocked: :shocked:  only done 3,000 hours too - apparently they're good for 10,000 before needing a rebuild!
