Engine is out....

[mrfitz]

Took my engine out today, couldn\'t believe how straight forward the process was!!
Ended up with some cuts and an aching neck though.  I had trouble with the 14mm bolts on the bell housing, what a pain to reach!

I have a question, if I post a pic of the clutch plate, can someone tell me the condition?  I\'ve had a look but don\'t know what worn would look like.

Thanks,
Mark.

sorry, i know i havent seen it but its such a pain in the a**e to fit you might aswell replace the clutch unless you know its only done a few thousand miles!  even if you only replace the plate!

I see what you are saying antnic, may as well do it now, will save some hassle in the future!

Here are some pics of the plate anyway.

And finally the engine donor!!  Ready to be stripped and sent to the bodyshop!!

hard to tell but it does actually look pretty worn.

Don\'t muck about, change it while it\'s out - £295 the complete clutch with release bearing.
