Unplug the widow motors, switches etc and then loosen the rubber plug all the wires go through and feed them all through the hole. There may be a clip underneath the quarters/pillars that lets you unclip the door loom separately but I'm not sure of this.

Yeah, best to take of the front guards, then undo the black plastic cover where the cords lead up to the body. Undo the bolt that is holding the clips together (one side of the plug clips from inside the vehicle and the other on the outside the vehicle) and whaaaala!

mmmm gearbox.. gonna be a bitch if u ain't got no car hoist! Won't be safe if ya by urself and the gearbox drops on ur arms.. jack the car up as high as you can, place front on stands (or even better - back end on 1 layer of 'beci blocks' (20cm off the floor) and the front on 2 layers (40cm off the floor)) . U will need a decent workshop jack that will reach the gearbox at full hight.

Undo tail shaft first. next is a gamble, but I did mine by undoing/loosening all the bolts around the bell housing(i think its called) thats connected to the engine. make sure you can get to the top of the bell housing first!

Remove anything else attached to the gear box. Now place the jack extended up to meet the area where the gearbox support is or near centre of the gearbox but make sure u find somepart that the gearbox can grab onto on the jack so it won't go sliding off...) This will help when the weight is freed from the car. Undo all bell housing bolts, then slowly undo the support bolts. the jack will help support the weight of the gearbox but you will still need to stablise this by hand. Best to do this with a mate who will control the height of the jack...

Hope this helps...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
