then chuck it all back in
im not a fan of working under a car and a 1.3 is such a farty little engine it will pulll out in 45 mins i would think
i usually pull rst engines out to change clutches tho

i just prefer it that way, more hassles with oils and coolant i spose
Doesn't look to bad a job to be fair, everythings nice and accesible, might even swing it into work and get it up and the hoist this weekend being a bank holiday and all
