Not a very promising start today.The gearbox is back in place but i am having trouble lining it all up.
All the holes are in line but when i tighten the bolts up it doesn't seem to be slotting together properly.
I'm affraid i might have to take it back out and see whats in the way,might just be splines not in line.
I'm gonna try again tomorrow.........
Any ideas very very welcome
Sorry everyone,Suffering from man flu,I will be back in the garage asap...........
Guess What.......................still not finished...
Had a fair run at it today though.The gearbox slotted home smoothly in the end,I had to do it solo,(not enough room in the garage for two)...Subframe is back where it belongs..The oil is in ....the exhaust on....all hoses,pipes electrics connected...boot lid back on....drive shafts in hubs bolted up and wheels back on at last.
Still need to fill and bleed the cooling system,bleed brakes and put the engine lid on ,and give it a damn good clean (how did it get so filthy in the garage?)
it wasn't a completely trouble free day though,when I removed the boot lid I cut the wires as there was no connector.I just figured I'd solder and tape them back up no prob.When I came to join them today expecting them to be different colours, I found there were three black ones ,lesson learned .I guess there could be some trial and error coming up.
I do have one more question , does anyone know if the gearbox oil cooler needs bleeding and if it does how do i do it please, thank you.
