Stu, I'm starting to get a bit worried about you.................
Started with the water pump.
OK, I like to clean everything up before replacing it - not as shiny clean as yours admittedly but any way.......
Then the engine and gear box.
Looks nice, I admit, but a bit o.t.t. I thought..............
Now the t-box.
Bordering on obsessional bling.............
And then the gloves.
I also use gloves (from time to time - ready supply from the ward) but YOURS ARE STILL CLEAN!!!
Either you have an allergy to oil, a very strict SWMBO, or you work/live in a sterile oxygen tent!
P.S. I can hook you up with Mr. Dover, he sells sterile surgical gloves and will do a fellow Differ a good price.
