Glad to see you're cracking on with it.
Having helped a friend do his last year it's quite involved - but we managed it (with a good few tricky bolts) in a weekend. We dropped the subframe a few inches, but didn't remove it entirely. Mat

Thanks for that Mat. Weekends work for two sounds more like sense to me. I have been at it on my own for about 7hrs and I'm only just ready to draw the box back. That said, I have had lots of aggro with rusted bolts and stuck ball joints, I am also 68 years old, so work at a steady pace. Jumping up and down getting tools and crawling back under the car is hard for an old boy like me.

I was 50 when I did mine and at 68 I would definitely say "get someone to give you a hand mating the gearbox up with the engine". I did mine on my own from start to finish. Mating the box back up to the engine took hours and I have never been in and out from under a car so much in all my life. Good luck mate. I wish I was nearer, Id give you a lift... |
