You do realise autodata times are based on jobs not considering seized bolts,stubborn pipes etc etc and prb 3 workers on 1 job

so all the work is done from the top side. if the box is of can you do all the work from the bottom side

yep sometimes i do jobs much quicker sometimes i think how the hell lol, but i use it for rough pricing of jobs on cars i dont know well, never really looked at zeds on it, but some labour times would be scary the prices it would work out too...that job showing on screen is nearly 2k without buying a bloody part lol...

mostly underneath, also depends on your tools, decent quality tools, ratchet spanners, long extensions etc go a long way,

Ime very surprised at you saying this Mark...The motor can be lifted so easy on these cars once you,ve broke your virginity doing one. Iff the tubs have not been off and you tackle it in situ then the time it takes to even straighten the tangs on the locking plate washers holding the tubs on is epic alone:whistling:

 

 

 

you say that it can be just as easy but you have to think all so

 

things that needs removing or disconnecting

 

 

All Engine Bling or After market parts

Electrics & Loom

Scuttle & Battery

All Upper Boost pipes

Intake Pipes

Rad & Drain Water

Air Con if its Full

Alternator

Power Steering

 

Once thats done then there is Removing the engine its self ..

 

on refit all that and sorting out the Electrical gremlins at 90% of the time

the Loom is all most fooba lol
