    I've been there, both the drowned and the recovery. All up it cost me about $2k, which included TD42 engine, freight, engine crane, oil, filters and a couple of tools.

    The replacement engine still had about 80,000km to run in as it only had 120,000km on the odo. Engine $1500, freight $125 (from Auck), Crane $250.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
