New Dis pack and HBV. Cured the misfire and hopefully the coolant leak! 
Also gave the old girl a bit of a talking to, along the lines of "...if you mess me about much more you'll be headed for the crusher me girl!!"

It is truely the spray of the devil....
My Merc has never been the same since a 'mechanic' tried to get it to go with easy start....

« on: 17 May 2013, 10:44:02 »Yes, many of Germany's autobahns are dual carriageway where there are speed limits and HGV's are not allowed in the outside lane. Periodically the restriction will be lifted to allow trucks to overtake and often these stretches become 3 lanes. It's a good system, if a bit frustrating when driving a HGV and stuck behind a venerable Bulgarian truck!Driving an arctic at 56mph come up behind a slower truck, look in mirror and road behind clear, by the time you've pulled out there's a BM or Merc behind flashing and hooting....
Sounds about right. Also part of the reason why so much road in Germany is single file only for HGVs, they can only go as fast as the slowest truck. Must drive 'em nuts.
Something I think should be used over here between certain hours on major routes (like the A14 etc).....the same as on four lane plus sections where lorries should only be able to use the first two
On one trip across the Fatherland I was driving a 7 1/2 tonner and the outside lane weight limit was 3 1/2 tonne, as I was empty and the unladen weight of my truck was 3 1/2 tonnes, I reasoned that I was OK to use the outside lane.
The locals didn't share my point of view and several got quite irate! The sight of mulleted and mustachioed Germans jumping up and down was quite amusing!!

You can usually bend the rods into the pipe from the chamber. If possible it's best to rod from the chamber below the blockage and what ever you do make sure the rods are done up tight and keep twisting them clockwise to keep them tight!
If they loosen and you lose some of your rods in the drain then you really will have a nightmare on your hands!!
