So the FTO will only get hot if something is wrong, doesn't matter on the temp of the day.

Listen to my bestie.

How was work in that heat? It was boiling today at work for me, definitely struggled.. can only imagine what it was like for you over there

At least conbox had his newly installed amp to keep him company

Checked my reciept, turns out the mechanic did my thermostat too

Well it looks like the radiator needs changing.
Doesn't hurt to change the sensor, that sensor is so the ECU can see the engine temp and then tune your engine
Won't stop you overheating though, could make your engine use less fuel.

Took it for a drive just before, didnt go above average temp
Radiator might be in the books after new rotors...and tyres.

Yeah, as long as the amp works:P

I made it to the end of the day.......just.
The heat just slapped me in the face and kept reminding me that I am not as young as I used to be
I took heaps of breaks in the A/C lunch room, drank heaps of water and I kept sticking my head under a running tap.

I had to do a wheel rotation on a CASE tractor outside in the heat. It had dual wheels (double boggies) that were taller than me. Had to take them off the tractor with a forklift. The hard part was undoing and doing up all the wheel bolts with a big arse 3/4 rattle gun = sweat = A "I got it now" feeling.

Sounds fun!

We knock off at 3:30 and at 2:30 my tradie and I went to our manager to get our next job.

2:30 in the arvo and he tells us to replace a transfer case on a CX-7..

Only got as far as the subframe before I thought f**k it and started doing all my apprentice grunt work to close up
