I'm a scardy cat as well as havin no balls then!

See with my luck I would have nicked that piece of exhaust and either burst a tyre or it would have cut my fuel line or some other disaster!

Something very similar went through my head as I went over it, I was waiting for a big clunk or something more disastrous !

Ooops, sorry Jay. :laugh: There was nothing sinister involved as I was just wondering if I'd have better luck with my gear changes on the other side. :laugh:

This is an illustration of my luck.
Went back to car in garage after a short shopping trip and pool of water!
Bad coolant leak.
Turns out said leak is in a plastic section of pipe right under the inlet manifold, which necessatates removing the complete manifold to get off!
Couldnt be in a hose that easy to get off, oh no!
With dodgy hex head bolts that needed "work" to get them off, it took two and a half hours!

Your alright fella I know, I wanted to go down ther otherside thinking it flew off my lane and on yours LOL! :evil:
Well I was down on power in third and now I know why The ISV was blocked so lost boost release and bad mixture. There was also a pipe lose on the induction side losing boost. She flies now! :smiley:
