Anyone who has worked or tried to work down the back of the zed engine knows that the space between the bulkead and the engine is at a premium. Unfortunately there are a lot water pipes down there and when they need attention it cam be a royal pain but even the metal water pipes from the engine to the heater matrix can loose the corrosion battle.

 

The pictures give a little indication what is involved to remove the steel pipes, with the exception of the missing skin of the back of my hand but hey that goes with the territory!

 

Could not take a picture when my hands were down there but believe me it was tight to get the drivers side pipe fixings as they turn back into the engine, and of course getting them back in.... that`s another story!

 

If you fancy having a go at this job move as much of the loom that you can and the battery cable to the starter motor, locking the bonnet right back is essential too, I use a foam lie down slab and end up liying down on the engine its works for me anyhow.

Nice one Jeff.

That looks like about the tightest work space on a zed ever!!

I hope the hands recover soon.

EGR delete needed there?
