[/highlight]
Never mind babysitting, that is parents responsibility, more importantly, has he got a big bbq
-
I'll be bringing my large bbq :y
If anyone fancies a challenge I'm needing the exhaust manifold gasket doing on the td.
The following weekend its got another 1k mile trip to france, and it'd be nice to drive it without it sounding like a..... erm..... tractor ;D
I'll supply the brews/cakes to helpers :y
Oh and if anyone wants a real challenge, I've still got one of those ^^^ tents in my caravan that needs folding ;D

Exhaust manifold gaskets (there are 5 on a tractor) ain't too bad. Needs to be done on hard ground, not grass. Get some penetrating oil on the 12 manifold studs now, and on the exhaust to turbo bolts. Omegatoy and I did his in around 1.5hrs a year or 2 back, but that included the usual clowning around and tea drinking.
One think I cant remember is if you need a new turbo to manifold gasket.
As well as sockets, rachet spanners are VERY useful, esp for the turbo to exhaust nuts (14mm from memory, but its been a while!).
I'm summoned to go in to York with Mrs TheBoy during the day, so not sure if I can do much, but can certainly show you how to do it.
But, start getting that penetracting oil on NOW! And repeat every couple of days.

I shall start the oiling very shortly! I'll get the gaskets anyway as it needs doing at some point. Any advice would be appreciated :y
