today miggy is in repair mode..we will try to change left side exhaust gasket..and wont take the engine out..first try will be abs and steering arms out and try in situ.. but if those nasty bolts broke I'm afraid budget will have a bigger hole..
we specifically try to avoid engine out job as the car is old and cant estimate how many plastic parts/sockets will be broken .. and those parts not easily available here.. :-/

good luck cem,hope all turns out well for you :y

:o That`s definitely a '5 spanner' job in the Haynes manual, Cem! :o
I hope all goes well! ;)

Yes we are rather spoilt here by the amount of spares available for our miggies and rather forget it is not true everywhere in the World. You haven't even got local OOF members who can help you out! :'( :'(

Cem, is everything allright - do you still have your sanity?

good morning.. last night we worked until, 01 35 am ;D
we worked ina very tight area.. engine remains in the same place , also abs and the steering arms..
we resisted not to take much out.. we did the job..
and I was lucky some bolts not broke.. only problem was we go green like martians because of ac gas/fluid
worked from both up and down.. but still couldnt finish, few jobs left.. and a some places are so tight that my hands dont fit and I really take help from other hands and some strategy.. ;D
but must admit you must have tons of patience and strong nerves.. honestly engine out job will be easier.. >:(
will send some piccies later.. off to the garage and need to go job and some other offices .. today I'm in trouble :(
-
That's incredible :o - will look forward to seeing the pictures. :y

the one marked with red circle only caused trouble.. but was not critical .. although we loose more than 2 hours with it to clean and open a new hole (done by machinery) in a professional shop :(
