No one ever bothers with small claims as the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
No one wants a cheesy shaftAgree with Turboman, there is something cheesy about that shaft [ like strong as ]

I noticed that cross section, odd it’s like it’s sleeved over another rod. Odd and very cheesy.

Good shout I’ll email them. It’s from a well known company who will remain nameless unless this is sorted properly.

On the contrary, I know several people who have done very well out of it.

@payydg can you PM a very quick order of parts to remove to get the engine out? I have tappets, timing kit, water pump, radiator to do and I may as well do a clutch upgrade and the output seals at the same time. I’m sure the clutch fork has been upgraded but I always have that sinking feeling every time I pull away at traffic lights this could be the one .

Pretty much like taking any 4 cylinder in line engine out. It helps if you have an engine crane or hoist, but I always used to use a front loader.@payydg can you PM a very quick order of parts to remove to get the engine out?

Toying with an engine hoist purchase, or better a loader for the tractor

The loader is quite good, power loader is better, because if you attach to 2 points, you can angle the engine as needed.Toying with an engine hoist purchase, or better a loader for the tractor
It is also a good idea to have someone else reasonably skilled to operate the loader while you guide the engine up and out, and undo the last few bits that you forgot to unbolt!
If you will have to go it alone, the engine crane is easier, because it is more controllable.

I got a 2 ton crane delivered for about £100. You can get an attachment that allows you to tilt the engine forward or backwards (this makes the whole thing a lot easier).

A neighbour has one so that’s a job made easier without having to store the thing afterwards. Ridiculously one popped up on marketplace for £50
