Brings back memories. My SD1 2.3 engine committed hari-kari, and I located a 2.6 engine in a local scrapyard in an area known locally as " over the border".
I asked stupidly, " is delivery available ?", got the reply, " yeah to the pavement outside".
As it happened there was a builders pick up truck in there, picking up something or other.
I asked if they could take my engine to the garage, for a couple of quid.
Kindly, they did, so there I was, sat in the back of a builders wagon, hugging a dirty big hump of an engine, sitting atop of all manner of rubble, as we made our way through the town centre of Middlesbrough. A sight to behold, we got there though !!
