Ms Plum is almost ready for the big Goulbourn adventure but is sitting a little low on the drivers side (no fat jokes please). I have a hydro pump (of the dialek varierty) and some fuild too but am embarressed to say that I have no idea how to use it.

I was wondering if there might be a generous Ausmini'er in the north east (We're at Hurstbridge - near Eltham/Greensborough) who might be prepared to show me how in exchange for beer or other lubricating fluids/cash. Failing that is there anyone about with a pump who would show me if I came to you?

I am diametrically opposite to you, but you are welcome to come down Point Cook way if nothing more convenient comes up over your way.
I would come over, but I am only home for two days a week at the moment..

I can help you in Goulburn if you need to re-adjust it.

thanks guys

I got a few offers of assistance today but got caught up trying to work out why I couldn't get an earth for some electrical work - turns out the electrical socket I bought was faulty

Simon we'll be coming through Wodonga late Friday morning I think so suspect you'll be at work, Michael I may just take you up on that offer ;-)

thanks to both Simon and Michael - I may well do both (Simon I've met before but I can't go to Goulbourn without meeting the 1100 man ;-))
