Jon, awesome idea mate! Tony Robinson has been on to me askin me if he can excavate my drive, took a lot of persuasion to persuade him that I didn't dig it up! ****in Time Team!!!!!!!

[bass_junkie123]

Is that a no then!? :(

[mattlake]

i can get hold of one, it's just not at my house, when do you want it?

[bass_junkie123]

Ah legendary mate! :)

Well I'm available any time this week! It's a case of litterally lifting out the engine (mounts are off etc) then dropping in new one! So wouldn't need it long hopefully!

When can you get it for mate?

[Cornwall]

I may be picking one up this weekend on a long term lend ;) all depend if it fits into the mondeo.

Welcome to borrow it (if I can get it home)

[mattlake]

ill probably have it wednesday:nod:
im only round the corner from you (quite literally) so ill give you a shout when ive got it home.

[bass_junkie123]

Cheers guys! :)

Matt, shall I book the afternoon off? Don't suppose you could spare a few mins to help me lift out and drop new engine in could ya? Hopefully it won't take long! On another subject, I'm currently trying to remove some injectors (right now), how the hell do you get them out bud??

Where abouts are ya?? :)

P.S - I'd owe ya big!! :thumbs:
