does that mean a new bit ? :doh

Maybe Rick can link the two engines to make a 5.4 litre straight eight.

 

[briggie]

i guess what im asking is ..... is this a fairly easy/cheap repair ?.. is it a viable repair ?,..... is it a fairly quick repair bearing in mind all the time rick and swifty have spent so far ? ...... i really dont want to be a nuisance but im thinking of the group and rick also .

many kind regards

pete

One little bit of broken metal is not going to keep it off the road, lets wait and see what it looks like when I have it in my grubby little hands, new one from Nissan forget it, they have not got one anyway, we have an excellent gearbox Co not far, they will be my first port of call, if they can't help we have several engineering shops, and aside from that I have a drive plate off of a generator set, brand new if it is big enough, may be able to do something with that, but I will not be recommending the 4 X 4 garage in Elland to anyone,, been looking at the oil cooler they fitted, the fins (air flow) are vertical, not a lot of cooling there, Rick:thumb2:thumb2

yes mate.:doh

 

[MudLifeCrisis]

I think the garage should be told about this , maybe they should be refunding some of the costs

Now there is an idea

All the best Rick , what you are doing is brilliant.

shall i get that radiator rick ( subject to clearance from sheila )?

 

[MudLifeCrisis]

Rick was talking about the oil cooler not the rad.

best to wait until the engines out , then Rick will have a shopping list.

Brian

that has the oil cooler built in ..... ie the proper rad

 

[MudLifeCrisis]

Sorry didn't notice.


Would still be inclined to wait to see what is wrong once the engine is out.

i really hope he doesnt have a shopping list , im trying my best to keep sheila interested in this , she wants me to get rid and buy something else instead :doh

Would it be worth seeing if there are any black cab breakers around if they run the same engine ?


Must be loads of them around , maybe share the same gearbox etc


just a thought
