Just heard from Euan as he was pulling the radiator out to get at the engine.

The last 730 Km was done in one session on 4 cylinders with lots of smoke in the cab, although a speed of around 80 Km/h was maintainable. Fuel consumption is at an all time high too, along with 2 litres per 100 Km.

So, prepared for the worst, he's armed with a new set of pistons, rings, gaskets and whatever else for a full-on one day reco job.

Although the problem may turn out to be as simple as a blown head gasket, Euan is prepared.

As for Mark, he's having carby trouble and the Toydodge is not idling. Then there's the oil leak to attend to.

Stand by for the next exciting instalment!
