*new* (wreckers) TPS later - and she STARTED and RAN!

but.. something went amiss.. and now shes not starting atm.

hoping might be that the battery has drained down a lot - its on charge atm.

it died when we tried to move the ltd off the driveway, out of park, into drive, and put foot down a bit (tyres are a lil flat so needs a lil extra encouragment to move) - splutter splutter f@rt DIE

the sump was overfull with oil - thats why i wasnt getting oil up top.

flushed the whole lot out with a cups worth of Kero into the oil filler, let sit and then dropped the thinned oil (20L worth icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif !!) and then flushed some black oil back thru it a couple of times.
change of filter and its good to go again!

IT STARTS!
IT RUNS!
IT IDLES!
very happy.

seems the afm that i got from the wreckers isnt a worker afterall - so il be going back there tomorrow!

seems i changed a LOT of things.. when i didnt need too, it seems that the only thing that was actually wrong with it was the friggin TPS!

i have a video of it - but il get around to hosting it on imageshack later tonight when i get it off my phone.

seems that it might be running a lil lean maybe - but im not worried about that too much atm.
