Two Months Rest

A couple of months ago, I arrived home in the F'ee to discover major oil leaks, looked underneath, assumed the worst, got the sh.ts, and parked it in the shed.
When I settled down, I decided to search the internet for a forum to see what the leak might be, found this forum, and it changed my life (bit like a new religion).
Anyway, cut a long story short, yesterday I replaced those silly o-rings on the hpop (all this was new to me before joining the forum). Took me 2 months to get around to doing the job due to heavy work commitments (too busy fixing everyone elses vehicles).
It's grouse to be back on the beaten track again, I'd forgotten how good the ute is to drive....might have to do some of the mods I have read here now!

Thanks everyone!!!!

I have no idea who originally said the above, but both seemed fitting here.

That's great to hear. It's amazing what you can learn here on FTE. It's also nice when those big major oil leaks turn out to be a couple of cheap o-rings.

I think it makes perfect sense, I think this forum has saved everyone lots and lots of money and headaches. Kudos to everyone.
