Hi guys,

 

Im in a bit of a pickle at the moment as my engine and gearbox are out of the car and it needs moving across the country asap. I can put the plenum back on and put it in the bay with the engine mounts bolted to the subframe but will that be rigid enough for transportation or do I need to brace the engine from moving forward and back somehow? Im not going to have time to put the gearbox back on.

It should be fine with out the intake .. just wedge it on front and bk so it dosent rock to much

Where is your car going mate?

Cheers Mark.

 

Im moving back to Somerset mate although im having major problems finding a van for hire with a towbar!

if u can not do a van .. use a self hire car transporter truck ..

there about £90 for the Full day

When I had my car moved originally someone tried to do it with one of those but there was no way it was going to go on, couldn't even get the rear wheels on the ramp.

 

Because I want to move the spare engine back as well along with the gearbox etc and already have a boot full of interior bits and need to bring back some building tools I need either a van or 4x4 I think.

That's who I used Trev.

Cost me £95 for the day (for 2 drivers and included about 150 miles excess on top of what they allow). It was their Darlington branch I used.

 

The beavertail came with additional extension ramps which made the gradient very shallow and would allow all but the lowest of cars to get onto the back.

yep i have used them too ..

 

and drove it my self

Yeah already had a look at them but it doesn't help me get the rest of my stuff back and reluctant to do 2 trips as its 500miles but I might just have to suck it up

is a low loader any good
