Well this weeks gradually getting shitter between 7-3 (agency has rung me up today.. I might just take it)...
This morning I walked into my poor abused 531 being murdered by another operator. Black followed by White smoke over 1100rpm. Sadly he had been told to drive on as it was not useing water/coolant.
So Me being me I decided to drain the sedimenter. So I drive up the workshop and do it. Of course JCB's have to be bleed as there JCB's.
After about 5 attempts of draining and bleeding she was running worse than ever (billowing out white smoke), we had no spare filters and by this point I had 2 of the firms engineers doing it... So we gave in and called in the hire firm.
They came at the end of my shift and changed the fuel filters, I was asked if the warning light had come on as water would... the fuel pump.
But hat's off to the engineer, she's running sweet as a nut now.
Of course by the time I got back my shift was over and it was changeover time. Where I got yelled at for leaving the bucket up whilst explaining what had happened and things to keep a eye on to the next driver... Seriously if this Idiot continuies to stay on my back about pointless little things i'm going to throw the keys at him and go work in tescos. (Yes Sean, I know)
