As title???

Is it a "do on your drive" job??

What sort of money is it to get a garage (SCC etc) to do it???

 

I'm sure a few people will say it's easy, but I don't think so.

2wd is one thing, but that 4x4 one is sooooo much easier on a ramp.

 

would have thought its same as rwd apart from you have to remove front prop aswell

never done one tho

extra post on me post count

 

I thought you had to split the brake lines ?????

 

Mark itsa gearbox you take out.


Have done it on my drive,fookin akward though,well on your own.


Will give you a run down if you wish.

see the tech essay archives ..
not too hard to split the box from engine ..
easier if you have ramps ....
i did a small essay once about it

 

can do it on your drive, but its sooo much easier on the ramps, propably cost 4-6 hrs labour at a garage I would imagine, as you have to drop the exhaust, prop, box, front prop etc, then put it all back together , and lifting a 4x4 box and centre diff up while lying down isn't the easist thing in the world I would imagine

 

fook dat,,,pay a garage

I have done one on the floor. Not the easiest job and would have been handy to have a ramp.

Don't really advise it but I do everything at home even though I have access to 5 2 post ramps, a 10 tonne 4 post ramp, 2 sets of column lifts, 2 4 post ramps, and a pit.

 

Tiff.............. put it this way, I paid 'mates rates' and it still cost me £120, its a fooking horrible job and and takes a good few hours, really needs an extra pair of hands when putting everything back in aswell............ if you can, i'd just pay a garage to do it

 

i find it easier doing it this way, lol.








Dave.

 

Alternatively Tiff, have a chat with Spadge, he's looking for stuff to fill his time during the week

 

 

Christ Dave

 

 

Like it Dave - it's like one of those Kinder Egg toys!

 

I'm not sure what's cleverer dave, laying under there or leaving a car parked behind it while ya do!!!

 

Found this the easy way to get the engine box out

 

Don't go under there,lol.


Have dropped the engine,box,subframe onto a trolley, this then slides out between the legs of the hoist.

Split it all up then to get the engine out of the subframe.



Dave.

 

you'd have to go underneath to get the rear prop back in
can't see how you'd avoid it completely

 

Well its on axel stands now, so will be lifting it up get the engine back under and lowering it onto the axel stands again.


Dave.

 

I g2 get an engine crane then - is that the towing eye you're on?
Then again, the 24v prob won't clear everything if I drop it out that way

 

Done it once on a driveway and never again.....

 

lmao @ dave

 

yes,lol.


Hardly any weight in the front with the engine and box out.

If you are doing it similar just remember to drop the subframe onto a trolly ao it will be to difficult to move when lowered onto the floor,and when putting it in place for getting back in.


Dave.

 

LMFAO AT THAT PIC


looks like summut out of wacky races

 

Cost me £100 at a local garage

 

its a 4 1/2 hr job on drive its a 3 1/2 hr job on a ramp i would charge 200 ish

 

Dave, you're a wild man!!!!!
I like your style!!

 

Takes us around 4 hours out , n back in , worst bit is getting the stick off lol! which is around £150 + vat .
Defo not a job 4 on the drive , not a hard 1 though!

 

At Dave's car!!

 

Cheers Chaps for the advice

It was for a Friend who will make himself known soon i would of thought, but he was under some strange illusion that it is an £800 job

Then again, this is what you get changing from Beantins to Cossies

And Dave



Now i can see why you Scousers can ring a car so fast

 

ohhh, a bit naughty that one.






Dave.

 

Done many, would charge £185 including new oil/s.
Hope this helps as I would deo not do on the drive.

 

 

done it a few times myself in my garage,,, took me longer than 4 hours though!

the job itself isnt hard,, but it does take time,,,,

 

2.3hrs according to our clutch price menu at work, mines slipping bad

 

i'll remember that!

 

Not a problem i'll do it

How does a grand sound Tiff
