[Tom]

Fooking yes! You got another clutch and box? So you can drop the whole lump then put together and drop a whole lump back in?

[Niall]

Yep. Got a box thats been painted and tarted up (pics back one page) and picked up a new genuine valeo clutch for £40 i think it was. All going in as one piece

[Craigus]

[Niall]

Its going in this weekend??

It is I can't bloody wait. Seems like this has been going on for ages now.

[Craigus]

But will it run?

[Niall]

Well if the car is scrapped on monday, you will know the answer

[Eeyore]

Good luck mate!

[mr_fish]

Looking good! Don't scratch it when fitting though

[306Dan]

I think after all the hard work he's put in he'll cry if he scratches it

[Niall]

haha Ill try not to! If so, it will come out again, be touched up (not in the Saville kind of way) and refitted lol. Im not expecting it to stay clean for too long. Engine bays just don't unless you keep cleaning them and i can't be bothered to clean the outside let alone the engine bay lol.

They are not Spal but I've been told these ones are very good. I know most blow about as much air as a ants fart but apparently these are ok so took the gamble.
Will be controlling one via the ECU and the other via a bay temperature sensor.

Just to stick my nose in, put a cheap slimline on the 306 and got one on the 205, dead quiet and work perfectly for keeping the car cool when im not moving

I bet it does with all that extra friction from lack of oil

I used cheapo's on my rallye.The head was probably f*cked before we did it anyway so hard to tell if they worked

[Niall]

lol well if it does ever start getting a bit too hot, ill get some Spal ones in there.

[Martin306]

80W fan? What's that going to cool? lol

[Niall]

80W fan? What's that going to cool? lol

2x 80w fans. Shouldn't need that much cooling but if it is under powered, ill get some better ones

[Eeyore]

80W fan? What's that going to cool? lol

Its going to cool my damp vagina when i get in it at pugfest and have a ride up the hill.

Better get a dehumidifier in there too Niall.

[jammapic]

I'm loving this thread mate!

Can't wait to see it spool up into life!

[Niall]

Well its started and so far, touch wood, its gone well!
I was on the road by 7am this morning to take a trip to Jamie (Tallguy) to pick up some tyres and then on to Ginge to pick up a engine crane. Back home by 10:30 after 130 miles of driving and my old dear had already got the frying pan on and the kettle. She's a good girl!
Me and grant started at 11 and with numerous coffee breaks and f*cking about, we had the engine out by 1.

Quick trial fit of the rad and IC. Its bloody close but will fit. Im going to have to cut a little bit out of the slam panel for the 180 degree hose on the left but other than that, no modification required

[attachment=13250]

Was planning on fitting the engine tomorrow but i messed up and didn't get to Peugeot in time to pick up some parts so the engine can't go in until monday morning which works out ok because we discovered a bit of rust thats going to be tidied up tomorrow.

And Grant decided to chock my top engine mount for me which should stop the mount cracking and give better throttle response. Also ripped out the air con as lets be honest, its not going to work again is it

[attachment=13251]

All in, a good day had. Now just got to get it back in and working
