There's a few people in my past would be laughing themselves silly if they read that........ I'll need to see what I can do to alter that illusion Regards Stephen

Or move the shock towers........ Regards Stephen

Ahhh a question I understand..... As much as @Bowie69 would like me to ( he has conspired with others on this forum to steer me in certain directions ) I'm not sold on an automatic, have had no experience with them at all, but I suppose you can say that about a 1uz as well What I do have is a couple of R380 disco gearboxes, a couple of LT77 defender/110 boxes, a 2a with a series 3 bell housing on it and a series 1 box of unknowns condition I don't know what the relative strengths are however, the 2a box was behind a 3.5 V8 for over a decade and then a tdi with no issues even when I was doing modified trials with it So I'm in you hands to a certain degree as to which transmission road to take, my only real contribution I suppose is having half a chance of making it all fit together, something about where there's a will........... Really appreciate the discussion guys regards Stephen

I would love to join in with this conversation as it is being discussed to my benefit..... but 80% of it is leaving me behind, thank God your all trying to help and not hinder........ Regards Stephen

Did this change depending upon age, pretty sure I read that they are an interference so you need to keep on top of the timing belt changes Regards Stephen

Excellent, more experience I can rely on..... Regards Stephen

I don't recall ever proving you wrong... Regards Stephen

No he didn't have it, I will have to shop around or make something a sensor will fit in I suppose Regards Stephen

Is that going to be a problem Regards Stephen

Out of the car and into dry garage regards Stephen

Let's not forget this to help Sid run really grateful to @steve b for sorting this out Regards Stephen

Now you tell me.... The engine is supposedly 100kg lighter than a tdi, I guess aluminium block helps with that, stuff like the aircon pump will also come off as won't need that, lightweights have plenty of aircon.... What are the adapters for gearbox wise ? Regards Stephen

Yes it did its job perfectly, made dragging the engine in with a 500kg pull lift very easy, just some short bits of aluminium scaffolding Regards Stephen

Sids future heart let the bun fight begin.......lol regards Stephen

Very much so thank you Regards Stephen

Ah but your party to the secret........ Regards Stephen

Apologies for the late reply, very tired when I got home. Also nice to meet you and a very good mutual exchange of parts Kind regards Stephen

Likewise, see you tomorrow Regards Stephen

I had exactly the same issues, mine was the swivel preload, once I sorted that no more issues Regards Stephen

Don't suppose anyone lives near to Amington, Tamworth for a wee bit of assistance getting an engine into the back of my car tomorrow morning, long shot and short notice, I'll manage would be easier with 2 Regards Stephen

@steve b will you be in on Wednesday, planning on heading your way after I pick something up at Tamworth, if you could pm me a contact no so I can keep you posted would be great Regards Stephen

That's what I thought, but no difference after putting in new batteries, both remotes do exactly the same, puzzling Regards Stephen

I have a question I'm hoping some of you electronically gifted gentlemen can answer My Rhino winch remote function when I initially use it, it will only run for a couple of seconds then stop, this goes on for a couple of minutes then the remote system works absolutely fine, it's like it needs to warm up, any ideas what the problem could be Regards Stephen

Winch earning its keep dragging milling machine into position regards Stephen

This engine hoist is something else.. That's a 2 tonne milling machine it's suspending and moving.. regards Stephen
