    Any Byron Bay locals, I would like a hand 5/1/19 0800-1000

    As per this thread,
    https://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-c...ivers-nsw.html

    I need to reinstall this 300 tdi engine for another forum member.
    Problem is the vehicle is on gravel not concrete, so therefore I need to pull/push the D1 towards the engine crane to get the engine in.
    It doesn't need to move far, only maybe 2 meters.
    If anyone is local to Byron Bay is able to lend a hand from 8am to 10am saturday 5th january it would be appreciated.
    Once the engine is in the engine bay, I will have it under control.

    Cheers,
    Tony

    I had this problem too. I used a large breaker bar on the wheel nuts to move the disco. Not that hard. I also used a ratchet strap to hold the gear box up (around the chassis rails and under the box) worked a treat.

    Good luck.

    Looks like this is sorted.
    I have received an offer of assistance via PM.
