I'm short of a 4L-80, too !

will speak with the managemnent and pick a day or two - do remember that it's 350 miles away from me, tho.

Spare room, beer and take-aways available as always if you want to make a weekend of it. :y

Can you not arrange a Chinook air lift or sumat. It's a Cul de sac location big enough for an  "X"  ? I'm sure the neighbours won't mind. ;D

Yup, from 1994 so it's fuel injected rather than carbs (which is almost a shame ;))..

Now that would be great ;D ;D

Damn thing defeated me again today - got one side of the wishbone off with the air saw after 5 blades, and I still can't part the halves..

Then I spotted one on eBay, complete, for £8...

I'm so not looking forward to trying to dismantle the rear end - especially as the previous owner has put one of the rear discs on wrong, so you can't get to the star adjuster for the handbrake ::) ::)

The entire rear subframe (diff, wishbones, driveshafts, hubs, etc) is all sitting on the garage floor ;)

But it 'sounds' (by the scraping!) as if the handbrake shoes are running in a rusty lip, so usually you'd back off the adjuster (just like the Omega instructions here) to free the disc off.. but not when someone has stuck the disc on 180º about face.

I'll have to attack them with big hammers No1 and No2 tomorrow. Hopefully I'm more successful than the damned front wishbones!

have pass agreed for this. Now need to arrange a day. Bringing trailer behind Disco for relieved parts, plus plasma cutter are the dates you mentioned still ok ?

for reference, I'm wanting engine with ecu, gearbox again with ecu and the ABS system complete, but prepared to stay until it's all chopped up into little pieces and/or disposed of (trailer ?). Plasme cutter makes very little noise.....

pm coming later on today.

Yup - any day beside bank hol Monday (as I should be at Stoneleigh) and possibly may have to go and pick something up on the 12th (though it wouldn't take that long so I could always leave folks to it) :)
