No, you don't whinge, you just threaten me with physical violence, and you know how that frightens me. Especially when you're in your white trench coat and MB hard hat - Its a recipe for trouble ;)

Hi Chris - I am quite happy if you want to Chauffer me around in UMB 690.

The aircon has packed up again 3 days out from the last re-fill so you 'll have to drive with the window open.

Bill

TJ 450

I shall attend, in the white 450, as the blue 6.9 is in bits and far from finished  :D

After seeing the post on the "stuck" sunroof and the correct lubricant of which I have two tins it reminded me that I had made an offer to supply a small container full if anyone wanted some for their own roofs when we next had a get together.

I will bring my opened tin, a few (unused) urine collection bottles, rubber gloves and tongue depressants if anyone wants to take some home to lubricate their roofs with the correct stuff - gratis - and hasn't got any of their own and doesn't want to give Diesel Motors or that other place the thick end of $250 for a tinful.

Bill

nathan

Bill,
i will take the rubber gloves and the lubricant, but this is all i shall need.  its tough when your wife has just had a kid!

seriously though, that would be a most generous offer as with the intended restoration of goldies roof, i'd like to do it all properly.

will see you sunday...
nathan
ps how is the speedo going?

Bill, didnt I have the air cond done when I first bought the car? I remember it as it went onto the new gas and wasnt as (freezing!) cold......if I'm right it seems to have packed it in again quicker than I would have thought!

Look forward to driving the Beast - esp with new spheres!!!
sigh....sitting back contemplating the next purchase..!

WGB

Chris - I think you had the air-con done, I have had it completely rebuilt with a new compressor and lines and it has been leak tested and refilled twice since my rebuild - but still it goes flat.

It will probably go back one more time and if they cannot find the leak I will get it decompressed legally and then start myself using Hychill and a lot of time - including removing the dash-board and evaporator if necessary.
