bloody hell Terry! trust you no only messing bud. i know this is 100% so no worries

you're correct. im praying i get it in by the end of this week. then get it all plumbed in etc. but obviously until it can get back on to the road i need to sort loads out for mot etc. managed to sort out with a mate to do the mot even though i wont have a cat

but yes, got a long road ahead, just taking my time thanks bud

Right kids.

braided lines arrived today


flywheel


aux belt fitted

(the pas pipe will be bent to fit correctly, it must have been deformed in transit!)

new alternator next among the crap


mondeo servo in


comparison in size


also, after much delegation, i decided to swap the 1.4si piping with the 1.6si piping at the steering rack.

will update when my clutch alignment tool arrives! just need bolts for the side engine mount and ill be ready to get it in!

bit more work today.
new oil filter on

side mount mocked up (had to grind a bolt off that had a nut attached within the chassis.


next bit is the wiring to the alt.
new alt


alt off the 1.4


second pic isnt very clear but there is different terminals for the wiring. i will go through my new loom to see where the cable is but im guessing it will be completely different hence the different terminations on the new one?

the ho inlet came with the fuel rail but not the plastic black bit with the wiring (not sure on the name), i know its a long shot but will i be able to use the one off the 1.4 inlet?


Also a massive thanks to Awol for providing the bolts i need for the inlet. nice one buddy!

and one final one for the record

nice work

don't mind getting dirty for a shirtlifter

The wiring will be on the loom for the alternator, if it's not I'll look up what wires go where and possibly draw a wiring diagram up for it.

The loom bit on the inlet is probably ok from the 1.4, I would imagine its the same as its only a bunch of electrical plugs. It should go into the 1.6 loom no problem. If not I might have spare one somewhere.

Also your tyre is on the wrong way

Aaaaand the power steering pipe shit - cant see it on my phone, I'll look later when I'm on the laptop and advise you on what to do then

BEFORE

(NOT FLUSH LOLS)


didnt manage to get it flush but i can manipulate it when the engine is in

PEACE

Right not a massive one but just keeping you all up to date.

attempted to get the flywheel off with a normal ratcher and spanner to add leverage. couldn't budge it. so i re-thought my approach, removed the crank sensor and put a bolt in it to hold the flywheel and added even more leverage, this was the weapon of choice...

and one flywheel removed


just dropped it off at a landrover garage round the corner (been a great help with this car so far). they don't think it needs a skim but just a light rub down so they're getting a price after i advised how far i would go with the price. so just waiting on that.

recieved the calipers today. all i will say is 'un-real'.
BEFORE

AFTER

Mock fitted the braided lines


thanks, Ben
