If you’ve ever taken one down, moved it, loaded into a van, unloaded it, moved it again into storage, moved it again into the workshop, put the heavy thing up then they wouldn’t be so jealous I assure you. Jarrod

Well that was fun. She’s off ! Almost had a moment when I realised I’d forgot to disconnect the epb emergency release cable. Otherwise very straight forward.
I’ve had a quick look around the car and have identified where my rear air con was leaking. It’s an o ring on a joint under the passenger rear door. Does anyone know the size of the o rings or where to get them ?
Also noticed the rear prop centre bearing rubber thing is u/s so added a rear prop to my list of parts.
You can see my attempts at trying to get the nuts off the cross over pipe, no brackets fitted !
Better view of the spot around the turbo which I’ve yet to find the cause of.
Got lots to do.Jarrod

Think it was the bloody split cross over pipe that started it all for poor discomadness
Also looking forward to more piccies , beats watching telly
Do u think if we ask for any close up piccies of the chassis etc we may get a few , snigger

I had to wrap up early today but tomorrow I’ve had a pass from swmbo to “bloody get on with it” as she so elequantly put it. Lots of photos coming soon and if anyone wants certain photos or anything please feel free to request.
Gstuart. Yep. Cross over pipe. That’s not split !!!!!! Although no brackets fitted so it wasn’t going to last long. It may be cracked but I didn’t have time to look properly. I believe my leak is somewhere around the turbo.
It’s going to be a big picture heavy write up guys get ready. Jarrod

Brake pipes around 5 minutes.
Body bolts around 2 minutes with an air impact wrench and 15mm impact socket with extension. 2 bolts had to be undone with a power bar first. Other 8 just wound out. It is scarily quick to separate.Jarrod
