Welcome Ross. We'd love to see some photos of your machine. You can always ask for help here. New machine owners often ask the same questions so if you think it too silly to ask, you can always do a search for a pertinent subject. If you come up empty, we're here to help.

Thank You Stuss and RossM for telling Me that Mal had Passed away . The day my Wife and I called in We had to have a Cuppa , then the inspection which took some time ,he showed me his spare parts etc. I noticed he had 2 of those special Cat tools for removing the injectors from D2'S and I gingerly asked would He Sell Me one . He picked one up and put it My hand ,I insisted on paying for it , but no way would he take anything for it ,it proudly sits in front of my tool cupboard now .
Following the Look around He insisted We stop for Lunch , so He Peeled the Veges , Cooked us a Great Lunch with Sweets to Follow .
Deanna and I still talk about that visit , and are indeed sorry to see to him pass on . I can't recall his age But it was Close to 80 .
He was one of the true Pioneers of that area as He selected His Virgin Block when he was a Young Fellow and lived on it all his Life .
I am Glad his Nephew is looking after His Collection , I recall Him saying that He would be Looking after it ,after he goes . Vale to a Lovely Chap and great Cat man
Thanks Fellows LJ

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
