Title: Help required this Saturday
Post by: TheBoy on 08 August 2007, 19:14:19
Omegatoy and I are going to attempt an engine change on the tractor this Saturday.  However, as it looks like we may need to remove engine from one car to put in mine, a couple of extra pairs of hands would be very, very welcome.

Anyone fancy helping with an engine change then?

You know you want to get up earlier so you can be finished in Banbury earlier, and spend more time on tractor  :P

Planned to put my feet up & watch the footy at lunch but don't mind lending a hand.

Not sure I can be of much use & need to be back by 4 but willing........

Post by: VX1 on 09 August 2007, 09:48:43
I could lend a hand but it depends on where you are and where your going to do the engine change? If I can help I would only be able to get there after work which I will be able to set off after 2pm. Also Omegatoy could do might remote IR fob as well if its not to much trouble?

I have just replied to the "Help required in London" thread.  If I am not needed for that, then I could come over and assist here.  What times are planned and is it at Brackley?

Jamie,  

I've got to work 07-16; can I help after that?
Title: Re: Help required this Saturday
Post by: Timbuk on 09 August 2007, 12:10:51
Would also help, but im taking the Hotel to wales for the weekend  :-/ however you do have 24 hours to convince Timbuk2 that it would be much better for me to pull out a tractor engine than to go camping for the weekend  :-X

Bugger, really would like to come down and try and help but i've got my boys this weekend.... don't think dragging a three and six year old along would be very practical!

Title: Re: Help required this Saturday
Post by: TheBoy on 09 August 2007, 13:12:34
Thanks for the offers (and rejections!). Unfortunately, as we have to remove the engine from donor car, then transport 15 miles to my house, we are going to postpone until probably next weekend (we'll concentrate on removal and transportation of the engine to my place this weekend).

So, may be looking for volunteers next weekend instead! Not sure which day, or even if it will be next weekend yet.
