Wow fair play looks like a right jobJust fitted theses what a pain as the old ones were rusted solid so out came the angle grinder so lot of sparks and swearing and singed beard there done along with new bump stops that were not the're at all
Take it they gave you a good price then,without being too nosey what ballpark number?Gave her a wash and took the first photos of her in6 years
It waits for you to go out!Had a new starter motor delivered, so went out to remove exhaust, air inlet etc to get room to swap 'em over .. and got peeeeed on! Bloody weather ...
It waits for you to go out!
Bloody hell that sounds like hard graftTried to fit a new starter, what a beeatch of a job! Thought it'd be awkward but ..
First thing is the exhaust can't be undone from the manifold 'cos the engine mount is in the way! (Disco 300Tdi on a 19j chassis)
Can't get in from the top 'cos intercooler pipes say no, easy, remove them, he says to himself. Nope, no room to swing a spanner 'cos the heater is in the way.
Spent feckin' ages trying all ways to not strip it down but now resigned to having to take the manifold, turbo, air inlet and front exhaust downpipe off as one piece and pull it up through the gaps. Easy when we put it together, we had no heater or wings or inner wings on it ... Made a start and took the intercooler and heater pipes off and the centre pipe off the exhaust. This'll help a lot 'cos I have a flexible exhaust bit to weld in, might stop the vibes.
