woot - go the rain... not :(
transmission oil is flowing out as I decided to drop it as well (may as well change it)
When I was under there I found 2 rubber mounts for the transmission / transerfur case.
They need replacing as well... it looks like there is enough space to jack up the transmission enough to sip out the old rubbers & put in the new... ideas?
called eastern power steering today, 495 for a swap over to a reco steering box... hows that price sound?
AMV in ringwood have the seals I need including engine mount rubbers, picking those up Saturday morning :)
Plan is to have the engine out this weekend & new one in. going to be a mission.
I printed about 140 pages off the manual of how to remove & install an engine so I'll be reading up big time.
Let the real fun start :D
i know whay you mean mate. what is it about the design of a rangie that opens the heavens in direct proportion to how many bits you have got undone ?:mad:Quote:

lol pretty much.
update:
Next on the list is to remove centre console & find a section of floor pan to remove, thus giving me access to the top of the bell housing. (And a look at the rust better)
This Saturday a group of mates will be around with a hyrdo crane to help remove the engine :) plan is to remove this one, remove efi & bolt on to new engine, then fit the new engine to the car. From that point I can do the rest myself ;) but that is the aim for the coming weekend.
Should be a ball!

you're lucky to 'ave a workshop, i dream of working in a workshop. i lie on the cold ground wi' nothing but a newspaper twixt me and the gravel. a garage would be a palace to me etc etc
Boyle's law of sheads applies for mine. Sht expands and fills space:mad: So I often end up on cold wet ground as well:( So then light up the 44 gal drum:twisted: It sure is nice to have a bit of space with concrete floor. Recomended:) Cheers TonyQuote:

I would make it hard with limited space. I had heaps of space here for years but also have years of unfinished projects:(Quote:
