Removed the engine, gearbox, rear axle and prop shaft from the MV6. Sits a tad higher than normal ;D ;D :o. I think another day on this one should have all the parts off and then it's away with it.  :-[
Where did you find that then Jon ::)


Sorry Rob (diff) :-[ it's been a long day :y

Aircon was vac'd and gassed today FOC  :y washed and leathered down and hovered out. :y
sent my new tailgate and front bumper painted plastic to the bodyshop to be painted, Z359, spent a couple of hours just driving it and loving every minute of it as well.

Aircon........

Need to get new pipe,as hole is in pipe between condensor rad and dryer,looks like a vx design fault,or some idiot has tighten nut on rad and allowed pipe to be against chassis allowing it to rub causing hole.

Replaced a steering idler arm. New one seems to have too much play in it as well   ???

Time to have a cup of tea to calm down before the inevitable disappointment of the test drive.  :(

Oh, and whoever invented automotive ball joints should have a place in hell reserved  >:(
