The dog rough estate

[DeeTurbo]

Today I've found that the front has dropped 20mm more so the front and the rear are sitting at 560mm from the floor to the top of the arch. I think the HDI Dturbo dampers must have different seating positions for the springs or the shoulder that sits on the hubs.

So I've got the engine and gearbox out today.

Tomorrow I'll be:

1. Removing the EGR
   
2. Replacing the high pressure pump
   
3. Replacing the water pump
   
4. Replacing the timing belt
   
5. Replacing the Aux belt tensioner
   
6. Replacing the Aux belt
   
7. Welding the top mount cup
   
8. Trying to slacken off and torque up clutch cover bolts (some monkey has over tightened them)
   
9. Replacing the fork bushes
   
10. Clean up and regrease the release bearing slide tube
    
11. Replace the clutch cable
    
12. Replacing the rubber donut gasket on turbo
    
13. Cleaning up the bay a little and back of the engine
    
14. Install engine and gearbox back into the car
    
15. Replace the drive shafts
    

Not much to do then.

Here are some photos from today.

Just to note, we had an engine crane but we chose to use a 10 ton gantry crane to lift the gearbox and engine, a bit over the top I know but it had to be done for our amusement.

















The cracked top mount cup.


It had to be done, the compulsory someone in the bay shot.

This is how I left it today.
