right after my first attempt, it all went quite well, everything is very fiddly, and whether everthing works when i finish it tomorrow is another matter, taking the engine out is a peice of piss, putting it back in was a bit of a pain, trying to get it lined up with the gearbox again! now tomorrow, everything gets connected again and hopfully it will turn over!!!

not really

they are the same as what is in mine near enough, and they are a right pain, give it a go yourself, and if you get stuck then ask for help!, just remember, all the electrical connections ect... make sure you label them AS you take them off! otherwise you will end up with a load of plugs and not knowing where they go!
