Yep, I can finally report that my previously enginless GLS Estate is now moving under it's own power once more after a successfull heart transplant
I collected the engine on Friday and spent Friday afternoon changing the bits that the breakers broke taking it out along with the inlet manifold which is set up with the LPG stuff. Saturday afternoon was spent drilling out the broken exhaust manifold stud and finally lowering the engine into the car. Sunday and Monday was spent working out where everything connected to and taking bits of to gain access to other bits that needed to go on first
Today I managed to get it to cough into life. 8-)
Bearing in mind that I never took the engine out, the only thing I'm not sure I've got right is a couple of the thick vacuum pipes at the back that come from the unit next to the DIS. Would it make much difference if they are mixed up? I've still got the alternator top adjuster thingy to get as that's still missing. Engine management light is on but I'm not sure if thats from the previous distruction of the old engine or would it have reset itself with the battery being disconnected for several months?
mot is booked for next Wednesday so that'll give me time to change the cambelt, oil etc and sort out a couple of other little bits & pieces. So far so good............
Cheers Jim
