[Andy335Touring]

The clue to the engine type is who is using the spanners !?

[Kos]

[Theo]

With the engine and gearbox out in one go, the engine bay looks so empty!

possibly the dumbest thing i'll read on the zone, along with the shortshift into an auto thread!!

No the shortshift in an auto is by far the winner.

[Hyperion]

[320Touring]

Whycome everyone is ripping out their engines?

steve, your car appears to be in good condition, and I assume that m40 lump was low mileage and in good condition?

waste of an m40 IMO...







































Had ya going there steve

[stevetigger]

[tylerma]

a thought just come to me Steve
whatever engine you are putting into the cab
(and I think I know what it is gonna be)

dont forget to source a catalytic converter for it mate
otherwise you could hit problems with the mot.

[Geeman]

Does he need a cat...? I thought only cars AFTER '93 needed them... His is on the borderline...

[tylerma]

july 92 onwards mate I believe

Steve's is a k plate
which is august 92 onwards I believe

[glenn]

why the secrecy?

[Ant]

maybe the swop is still in a fluid state ? coz Steves not decided

Good point though Glenn.
