01 DCM benodig voertuighulp

(English below – translation courtesy of Master Google :-) )

Groete in JESUS!

More, uit ‘n lekker nat Seronga!Ons het so ‘n mini krisis op hande. Albei ons voertuie staan.
Die Land Rover het ‘n probleem met die ratkas en ook ‘n “power
steering pump” pypie wat vervang moet word. Die pypie is bestel,
betaal en opgemaak, maar die ouens in Maun wat dit gemaak het kry dit
net nie reg om dit op ‘n vliegtuig te sit Seronga toe nie, ons wag al
reeds 2 weke. Die ratkas se probleem is by die hefboom, ons moet ‘n
“kit” kry vir al die parte van bo waar dit in die ratkas ingaan tot
onder waar die bal aan die onderkant los gekom het.Wat die Isuzu aanbetref, die het Donderdag oppad terug van Shakawe
gaan vassteek soos ‘n steeks donkie. Op een of ander manier het een
van sy “timing” ratte los gekom en dit het veroorsaak dat die tydrat
op die “cam shaft” se tande weggevreet is en al die “push rods” van
die “valves” het gebuig. Gelukkig het die valves self nie gebuig nie.
Ons sal ook ‘n nuwe “cylinder head gasket” moet kry.Dis die normale ou storie van sendelinge en voertuie.

Hoop iemand kan help.
Seen!Greetings in Jesus!

More from a wet-wet Seronga!We have a mini crisis at hand. Both our vehicles.

The Land Rover had a problem with the gearbox and also a “power
steering pump “pipe to be replaced. tube has been ordered,
and paid up, but the guys in Maun who made it just don’t get it right to put it on a plane to Seronga, we have been waiting already 2 weeks. The gearbox problem at the lever: we need a “kit” for all parts above where they go into the gearbox to
under which the ball at the bottom came loose.

The Isuzu concerned, on the way back from Shakawe Thursday stuck like a stubborn donkey. Somehow his “timing” gear came loose and caused the timing gear “cam shaft”‘s teeth are eroded and all the “push rods” the “valves” bent. Fortunately, did not bend the valves themselves.
We will also have a new “cylinder head gasket”.

It’s the usual old story of missionaries and vehicles.

Hope someone can help.
