How do you get the engine to line up with the mounting bolts? I can only get the drivers side one lined up but the pass side is a good inch away and goes on the inner side of the engine mount meaning the bolt is missing the hole :angry: I spent 5 hours yesterday trying to get the engine in but no matter what I tried it will not line up properly. I was thinking it must be a bit uneven when being lowered in. So today I bought a load leveller and have spent another 4 hours trying to get the ******* in, but it still won't go with exactly the same results :censored: I can't see what I'm doing wrong or why the f**ker won't go in properly. I've undone the steer…

I've tried searching, but had no luck. I've been trying for the past three hours to change my alternator belt, but as usual nothing seems straightfoward. I got the alternator belt loosened enough to remove. But I need to remove the power steering pump belt to do so. This is where I'm stuck. I've loosened what I need to loosen to get the belt loose, and it's slightly looser than it was before. The problem is that I can't get the belt any looser! The tension adjuster is only about halfway along the bit where it slides (where the 12mm bolt is in the pic below), and something is preventing it from going further. These are the bolts that i've loosened: …

I bought a set of series 4 clocks from Ianl :thumbup1: mainly just for the circuit sheet but it turns out the best purchase I have made in a while. I have made one perfect one out of the two I had and I found these LED's and was totally surprised as I did not know that these even existed. These pcb's sit underneath and shine light back onto the display. The four bulbs shine through these holes or cut outs, a light diffuser is in each one which I have removed on the finished article but I may put back in at a later date, suck it and see. Couldn't use the one from Ian as there was damage on the screen so I had to use mine, I was too afraid to seperate the plas…

I painted the plenum on my TT when I took the engine out, but now I dont like it lol. So removed the plenum off my spare engine, did the water bypass and started polishing it up. After seeing recent plenums such as dazvert's and groover's I thought it was the only way to go :rockon: Its a long and painful process but I'm getting there :w00t: takes forever :lol:
