      Talks the talk for 20 pages, can't seem to take the engine out... keeps blaming the Clio?

      Sounds like you need another Fabia.                   A nice bathroom green one.

    The main issue is it's slow and I mean really slow :rofl:

    I have driven a Luton with that engine, not fun!

    A friend said I could borrow his removals Luton for free when we moved recently and he turned up with that! Was shockingly bad!

    It's not good by modern standards but it was cheap and can tow a trailer and hold all my gear :) I hit a maximum speed of 57mph on the 35 mile trip back to the work yard

    It's not good by old standards either!

    Still a cheap place to store crap and get on with the engine swap ;)

    No it's not as bad as I was expecting on that front! I've found all prices on my van quotes to actually be better than car quotes! My last Vauxhall combo was £450 cheaper than my Clio fully comp

    Just got a quote how much do you think for a 2.5 DI considering I've got 3 points and the Clio is £1650 ish

    Think I would have got the engine out first before finding something to tow it lol

    I've just realised I live on a hill! That should lead to some fun!

    I'm so glad I had a company van between 18 and 21...

    Having more pointless ideas! Would it be easier to transfer a VRS engine and tank etc to this or repair a cat C damaged vRS with front end damage and strip that?

    The engine will be coming out tomorrow I hope :)

    Dont bother converting your petrol 1.2 to a Diesel 1.9TDI, more hassle then its worth.

     

    if you have a petrol, go with a petrol project. if you want a DERV, buy one!

     

     

    its about time the engines coming out ;)

    Maybe not as it's raining and the car is parked on muddy ground so my engine crane won't pull out :(
