false alarm - on closer inspection, its just dirty water from the rad (reckon they must have had the hose off or something)

 

oh good... roasting a coolant hose would take some SERIOUS temps

Did you have a shop do it?
I saw you said a five hour job....I thought you meant yourself.
I truly hope you didn't pay for five hours of labor.
I did it with a floor jack, cinder block and some wood and it only took me a little over an hour?

 

Yep - 5 hours paid labour I'm afraid - I'm way too old to climb under cars these days!

LOL, I'm 31 and still doing it. (not sure how old you or what your situation is though)
I would check the boards to see if their is someone in your area that could help you, do it for you, or do it cheaply. If you lived near me I would do it just because I like working on cars. laugh.gif

 

Thanks for the offer mate - I'm 49 by the way (I will not go quietly into that long night!) - but Scotland's maybe a bit far for you?

 

LOL, yeah just a wee bit. 8)

 

Got a pic of your car friend?

 

I got the amber bulbs out of the clears now though and put hyperblue in.
I have more pics on Cardomain.
