dis packs, shredded hands & then starter motor
« on: 01 November 2010, 16:28:53 »
how much of a PITA is it to change a dis pack - well i can testify (along with others on this forum i'm sure) that the answer is loads!!  :o

spent ages on saturday changing my mv6's dis pack, my hands were in tatters by the time i had finished & thank god for Cipher's guide  :y

had to change the starter motor today as that has been getting steadily weaker & weaker and finally coughed and died this morning, 2 hours and one removed engine mount later that job was done too (had to get someone to come and help on that job though as i didn't fancy doing the engine mount myself)  :D the starter was well buggered when it was finally removed!  :-/

the job's themselves are not too bad it's that pesky lack of space that is the worst part & certainly with the dis pack i was working blind as well for most of the time  ;D quite satisfying though when the replacement dis is in place and you start the car  :y

Well done. I have done my DIS pack twice but have yet to do the starter motor.  :y :y

it sounds like the steering box is one job to definitely try to avoid  :D

how come you have had to do your dis pack twice varche?  :-?

my next job is the abs ecu although i'm not sure when at the moment, i've spent enough dough recently on the motor & had to go get a battery last night (had to bump start the car to get home from work  >:() as all the sheninigans with the starter motor recently had buggered that as well  :o
