Wow! I wonder if that one car yard who will be suspended immediately is EL...

Hi All, Late last year my Bora packed it in. On inspection it was realised that the factory oil cooler had let go allowing all the oil in the engine to go into the cooling system. I turned the engine off before it stopped, so I'm fairly confident that the block is ok. Now, I have some replacement parts to fit, including the oil cooler and some better hoses/pipes for the cooling system. I have a bit of a conundrum. I can't start the engine until the oil cooler is replaced, at which point the coolant will still be contaminated and upon starting the engine, it will pump the sludge through the new parts. Or, is there something I can do to flush the cooling system without the engine running so I can get everything as clean as possible? As a second note, how do you dispose of coolant in Sydney? Thanks.

Yes! I really like AP brakes also.

Thats a seriously good point.

Whoa! I'm sorry that this is how you've taken responses. I personally am not poking at you at all and I'm enjoying this discussion even though I'm having a hard time keeping up with it. Your input is absolutely valuable and I, for one, don't want you to piss off. BTW, I totally misread this as a request for an anonymous mental health forum, hence my mention of beyond blue.

Hypnotherapy is fantastic! We used hypnotherapy with our two children's births. My wife was able to go through childbirth without any drugs. Problem is, it has a terrible name.. People think it means you'll cluck like a chicken when somebody clicks their fingers.

Welcome! Are you planning on starting a build thread?

This is a fantastic initiative. I'll promote across SAU networks.

How many were made? I thought it was under 50?

Brilliant! Going in the DIY thread!

Holy crap, so good. I love big brakes on cars that are unassuming.

I'm so lost. To try to throw at least a tiny bit of input in, there are very good anonymous forums on beyondblue.org.au.

Hey Sycorb, can you add a little more about the car and put up at least a ballpark figure? If you can do that and add more pics I can even share the car on Facebook.

Closed.

Thanks guys. Happening for me also, I'll investigate.

Ooh yes!

You gotta post em then!!
