No disrespect intended !

Alex, you're harsh you're breaking my heart . . . but a yard ornament? I don't think she'd be happy with that . . . she always liked to feel useful you know

And you call yourself "feeling" now I'm really feelinglost . . .

What exactly is wrong with it ?
Maybe it's a simple fix.

So sorry about your bike. It's kind of strange how we humans can get so attached to inanimate objects isn't it?



Look on the bright side.You get to buy a brand new one that you can bond with.

Sorry for you loss. I know times like these are difficult. Remeber the good times you shared and cherish your pictures together with the memories. But on the brighter side, you get to bond again and think how exciting this new adventure is going to be!! Once again, my condolences.

Picca thak you for being so kind and understanding,

Have a drink with me

Maybe this will cheer me up


HAPPY BIRTHDAY

PARTI

Happy Birthday Parti, hope you have a wonderful day!!!!

OK, the head gasket is labor intensive, meaning costly if a mechanic does it. The gasket itself is not all that expensive.
HOWEVER, several companies make a sealant. Bars Leaks makes the easiest one. You simply add it to the radiator and idle the vehicle for 30 minutes, then let it sit overnight. This fills in the cracks & splits in the head gasket. You just drive the veehicle normally the next day with the liquid/matrix mix in the radiator and it continues to seal leaks as you drive it.

I'm guessing your symptoms of this are white smoke and rough starting. If you try several times the vehicle will start after you blow the water out.

I'm not sure how bad the radiator is, but Bars Leaks makes a good sealant for that too. You can get both at an auto parts store NOT the dealer. If the radiator is so bad it definitely needs replacement, that is easy to do and the radiator isn't that expensive if you get it from an auto parts store and not the dealer. I just got one for my neighbor. It was $135 (the gas station wanted $800 for it). The gas station installed it for him for $65 (I tried to talk him allowing me to help him for free). His was an Isuzu as well. 1995.

Fuel pumps are not too expensive at an auto parts store about $125 and shouldn't be too expensive to replace. It's usually just two or three bolts holding it onto the bottom/side of the engine.

Repairing your truck will be MUCH less expensive than replacing it unless you got a tremendous deal. However, then you inherit another unknown (by you) set of problems if you get another.

jim, that sounds very encouraging, . . .

Now I just have to figure out a way to get you here to do the job for me . .

You're right i would much rather get it running again rather than taking on someone else's problems again

feeling

What to do . . .what to do . . .

I am so sorry for your loss, this may not be much comfort, but I am here if you need to talk after you lay Mr. Steed to rest.

RIP Sweet Baby. I know you will be missed

oh duckie, you are so kind and so supportive

@coffee
Like all relationships, when it's broken you can't fix it.

Virgo ironically enough, I was taking her into the workshop for a servicing when she packed up, just made it into the workshop . . . it sounded like she was going to explode any second

I am just very grateful that it didn't happen on Saturday . . . I did a +/- 500km round trip, through the mountain pass and I was on my own . . .

feeling, i guess I'm just the type of gal who doesn't give up without a fight

Thats my Girl never give up hope!

Feeling I take it ALL back, what was lost has been found

Thanks 10K

just what I needed to hear to cheer me up again

You are PURE EVIL, EVIL< EVIL, I tell you

@coffee

10K

oh I LOVE YOU too

@coffeeminx: Move on woman! I am sure you will find another baby ..

Take your time and be little sad, it's fine when we really like something we become emotionally attached to it however simple it was ..

maybe a good mechanic could fix the problems it has and get you back to using the isuzu again?

COFFEEMIXUP...BOY O BOY !!>> WAS THAT OVERKILL,FOR SOME ONE WHO IS TURNING ANCIENT!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH..

I wouldn't have seen that only a neighbour who only reads Blogs saw it and ran over to tell me,I was quiting on here,for certain reasons.Definitely not you !!! Bye you all..

African Single...YOU'VE BRIGHTENED MY DAY >>> THANKS MUCHLY..

Swiss..The mechanic would probably be only too pleased to fix Coffees UM Vehicle..

African, I am now having to rethink whether I like you or not



Its only 6:30am and you've driven me to seek some comfort food

Swiss I'm wanting to latch onto that idea, I will have to access the viablility. Thanks

Parti, I very nearly hit every blog with it . . . THAT would have been over-kill . . . .

I wanted to send you a card, but (alas) your security guards wouldn't let me in.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Parti, after so many years of on the blocks, THAT would require a major over=haul

(((((Minx)))))) I am so sorry your baby had to go and die on you. I don't know what I will do if mine did that, I am Not walking anywhere!

Fairie, believe me i am losing sleep about it thaks for your kind support
