1.5 hr's was our estimate, I have a pit which made it a lot easier.............NOT!!!!!!
We did the water pump, the thermostat and then the welchy.....ten hr's and three trips to supercheap later.......
Ladder into pit collapsed, smashed the two flouro's and smashed the shit out of my knee, a bit
of htfu and lots of beer....all done

What was wrong with the welsh plug?? (other than the fact i am assuming you drove a screwdriver through it when you were removing it?)

So what you are saying is........
You should let an Irishman to do it, cause they know more about the Welsh, than Pom's do

It had a 1/2 mm hole in it from corrosion
Radiator was emptying out in minutes ffs, they had just driven 750 klm's from Geelong to here, so the timing was
impecable

Kanuckabun.
The spelling is wrong but it is the only Welsh phrase I know.
Also I don't even know if it is one, two or three words. Great language.
As well as Tome Jones and Catherine ZJ, Ertha Kitt, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Bassey, and Daffyd " The only Gay in the village."

What is this Welsh Plug thing you speak of ?

Just bought myself a similar set to this, would have made getting to that bastard bolt
inside the mount a lot easier.
The head swivels to any angle

I had one to replace in the back of the head in the ex's corolla (old model with N/S engine)...ended up punching a hole in the firewall and bashed it in with a big socket on a long extension bar...
