V 8 ENGINE EXTRACTION ( PAINFUL !!!! )

<< < (2/3) > >>

SPIKEY:
Cheers V8.

I will give you an up-date tomorrow.

SPIKEY. ( gas torch, slab cutter, goggles and swear box at the ready !! )

SPIKEY:
Thanks Tim.

The 2nd item to come off the car will be the tank !!
The first is the battery :lol:

Cheers,

SPIKEY. ( CO2 at the ready !! )

hobbit:
I'd go for the shell off as well, makes it easier to play with the engine and box, most of the accessories can be unplugged, or unbolted quite easily, when ready set of forks in the window holes and up you go, like was said make sure the fuel tank/lines are safe or you could have  nice pool of fuel on the floor

Range Rover Blues:
You might find the floor from a 5 speed is worth something to someone.

SPIKEY:
The Job is NEARLY done !

The Boss told me this morning that the Disco had to be CAREFULLY dismantled, and all parts saved.

All fluids drained, engine bay stripped, cooling and a/c rad out, a.b.s system out,  engine loom out ( from inside the car ! ) , auto gearchange , hand brake and steering column dis-connected, and all the body mounts,fuel pipes and brake pipes.

No handbook, no cutting gear, never done a Disco before.

Result ?

1 body shell on the deck.
1 rolling chassis ready to have the engine removed !

Thanks go to my following friends :

1 - Compressor
2 - Impact sockets
3 - Patience
4 - Fork - lift

What a day , but I was determined to do it.
The bolts may be bigger but the car is a LOT LOT heavier than a normal family saloon !

Thanks for all the info.

Cheers,

SPIKEY. ( nothing damaged :lol:  )
