Not so much a dwarfie, but I certainly felt a kinship with Marvin.
Einstein wasn't right. DeBono was a dikhed. Hawkings was wrong. And I was one year closer than Buffett (apparently the slump has hit?). LOL!

G'damn those Kanuks are smart! Please send a few down here! Brilliant diagnosis! (Otherwise those TPS are fairly simple hardware-wise - just a "3 position" 3-wire on-off-on switch' problem is the cable/switch alignment). A recent local fix I saw was the dude who managed to fix his I-Mark e...

Hmmm???. I think the Salvos are further abroad than the Tasman, but otherwise just picture the Red Crescent (or Cross) but as an "Army". And we have a pro-forma reply here when threatened by someone... "Oh yeah! You and whose army?" However a close friend of mine (and getting clo...

Farken careful Wedgie!
Didn't Greensleeves come from over there?
We have enough trouble with budgie flu already!
(Lucky we've got the Salvation Army just in case - not that we need an audience!)

Geez Wedgy & Mike - I think we antipodeans went too far!
I forget that those northerners aren't as insensitive as their southern invaders.
But I don't want to face up to any responsibility, so I'll leave too.

I obtained a nice Toyota flink box that attaches to the +ve battery post. Although it has space for 3 female plastic fuselinks, only 2 are connected to the battery post; the remaining one is floating. There is also a flying lead off the battery post connection where the other leads exit. I fitted it...

Now then. I'm not one to digress, ramble, nor hurl personal or national insults. I'm a cut & dry person, sorry, I meant Aussie. But this thread worries me. Some digressions. Dare I say some jestful insults (yeah, we know it's all in jest - no reality whatsoever!). But surely this has gone far en...

Dammit Graham - I thought I told you already!

Yep - that sounds good, and reasonably priced. The local shop may be able to advise if new valve seals are advisable (they're cheap and can prevent smoke and are easiest replaced with the head off). And advise if valves are "bad". Normally I'd advise caution dealing with shops etc, but I g...

No wucking forries Comrade! (Is that a Spoonerism - swapping of first letters?) In case my former post was a bit vague, the suggestion is that Englishmen tended to copulate with their own sex, hence there are no kangaroo hybrids. And their "public" schools are our "private" schoo...

It's true about the Poms & skippies, but there are no lingering genetic effects - you'd need a female kangaroo for that.
(Must've has a lot of private, er public, schools back then to!)

Don't try head-jobbing me Wedgy! It's too late! I've seen you and those Scots take the lead and exclude us Ozzies - take that recent introductory "Hi" intro from JarrahC for instance. However, in this case, you are right. Again. And correct. (Australia was right but is now more left.) And ...

Nah - don't worry BranMan, You are northern hemisphere, we are southern. It turns out your wrong-right side minimises willy-willies, or wirlie-wirlies (mini-cyclones). Hence we have to have the left as the right-side. It's the Coriolis Effect etc. (Like out water down a a basin (bison or buffalo) go...

Lucky he included "exhaust" else I probably wouldn't have clicked either. Some of those yanks still don't understand they drive on the wrong side (right-side wrong-side, left-side right-side etc.) And yeah - WHENEVER refitting/overhauling engine etc, I always replace the welshies - definit...

If you pull the head off, it will be the head gasket.
Check that it isn't a welsh plug (side of block) or a turbo water-cool pipe (if fitted) first.
