You supply the car, somewhere to do it, and a post gutting beers, and I'll supply the know-how, swear words, and tools to remove the inevitable sheared studs...

Have you done yours yet Mark, we could get a production line going if there were a few of us there!? That of course depends on how long it takes, would it be best to lube the nuts first?? Nice offer though, may take you up on that if its OK with Grant. I will help you know what a good gofer I am now, I may not always bring the right tools but I get there in the end!  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

No problem Liz, any time is good, but weekdays are better for me... Just let me know.

Marks only just had a new manifold under warranty, so his cats should be ok. The whole job should only take a couple of hours assuming all goes well, but just in case I'll bring a shed load of drill bits and some taps to rethread anything that requires it.

Ahhhhh.....see. NOW I wish I had come to some of the meetings..............(not my fault I wasn't there may I add). I don't have the tools, the nouse or the space to do this joba nd really could do with someone who knows what they are doing at least GUIDING me through the process, if not doing the job for me! BUT, seeing as though I haven't met anyone, and it being a big job and living so far away from pretty much everyone, I am not sure I am going to get this job done ever.

Woe is me...............and worried about a time-bomb. Anyone got any suggestions?  s:? :? s:?

Dont worry about it... I've never been to any of the meets either.

One suggestion would be to make your way down to Marks on the day in question, where you can at least meet a few members. And then even if there isnt time to get to your car, you'll at least have seen in minute detail how to do it yourself once you've invested £30 in a trolley jack and a set of axle stands at Halfords.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! Not sure about JAE, although I would like to go. I have to check on that one. As for getting to Marks, possibly.........might not be a bad idea. I will check with the other half on that one too!!!

Will get back to all. This might not be a bad idea..........

Nope, no good either. And the week after is just a nightmare...

Given the need to get the car on the road again on the same day, and the potential for bolts to shear and cause many hours of grief, it'd be better to start a bit earlier anyway, especially as we're going to do two cars. I've got the 14th and the 17th off, and I'm not doing anything yet, so either of those days is good, and a 10am start would be good too, as we really dont want to be rushing the job, or waiting to long for cars to cool down enough to work on them...

14th of this month? Thats a Monday isn't it? I am going to need directions and I should be there, if that is Ok?

You guys are stars!

Is there any prep on the car that might need doing beforehand, like freeing oil or things before I get there?

Better go and ask the boss if I can have the day off, but I don't think it is going to be a problem. Mark me in!!!

Just need those directions.........  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
