Well at least nothing went wrong with my ute today instead I seized a final drive on the excavator instead and it was in the middle of a big wet sand pit so won't be fixing that till next week when I get another excavator on site to drag it out

We had to do a beach recovery a few months back as the local rescue boat ended up side down on the beach and old mate had to track a few K up the beach in his brand new cat 18 ton excavator so instead of waiting to let the drive cool down he decided to beach her in the sea every 20 minuets.

So my ute was supposed to go into mechanics today for a heater tap lucky I called first the mechanic couldn't get one for under $240 from Japan so I made one phone call to a mate at Toyota and am getting one for $180 delivered to my door it will solve my loosing coolant at least now to fix the turbo oil leak maybe a GTurbo will do that we will see in a few weeks time
