Busy weekend stripped the gearbox, engine, radaitor front and rear props (and rear diff flange) Part wiring loom and fuse box and fuel tank out of a 95 3.1td comercail.
First job was to get access to gearbox . With some help from Jack and his special GET ACCESS TO GEARBOX TOOL this was surprisly easy

The wiring loom was a nightmare as i didnt know what to keep and take i just cut off what i know i didnt need an kept what i didnt know :lol:
There was a load of connectors under the dash i split them and dragged the loom out of the gromit on drivers side .
The engine lifted out nicely in one go bar one wire for egr just a wee socket to unclip.i took home the gearbox and other bits i had to leave engine it wouldnt go in the back with the forklift the there wasnt enough height , will get that at a diffrent date on a trailer .
Now the fun begins getting the one out of mine with no forklifts and getting that one in with no clue what i am doing i feel this is going to be a nightmare getting it into a 2.6 petrol mk1. The good thing is from what everyone said there is very little wiring . When i compared the engine mount to my 2.8 td there was not much diffrence . I move house at the end of the month getting out this crap hole . I wont be doing anything till after i move
