Engine Stand
Yes it will fit. Stands are a universal fit to the bellhousing bolt holes on the rear of the engine, i have got the same stand and worked a treat. New they are only £45 so dont go bidding too high on that one lol. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ENGINE-GEARBOX-STAND-350KG-ES350-SEALEY-TOOLS-NEW-/400187160551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d2d0377e7

Ian - Vodkashots.
Ive had a text from him today, he is trying to fix his car inbetween working away and its a PC problem i think. I know he can browse the forum from his phone, but as you know he likes to write essays, so doing that on a phone gets frustrating. He is hoping to get on at the weekend :biggrin:

Smoking in Cars?
Bloody dictatorship nanny state we have become, the government dont own me, so they can go and shove it. We should be allowed to use our own common sense in how we live our lives. I for one dont give a damn what the government think they can tell me do, if i want to do it i will, i dont smoke around kids or in a restaurant or inside any public building. I work for myself so i dont have to be told by anyone what to do or how to do it, this country is becoming a bigger joke than it already is.. We pay these idiots to run our country not the other way round.

Some Advice on Selling Car
You might have trouble selling it in the UK if its not registered here, so will create additional cost to the buyer, which will bring your top line down. Or you could advertise it on the continent, but i should imagine being right hand drive, may not be a popular option either. I would look into the cost of registering the car here, then have a think about your next move. Just my opinion of course.

Removing engine, advice.
You can take the engine and box out together, but you will need to drop the subframe about 8 inches or so to clear the sump, even then its going to be, up abit, out a bit and so on till your clear to lift it out. There are only 4 bolts holding the subframe so no biggy, far easier than splitting the box and getting it out on your back lol I would drain all oils, especially gearbox oil, you wont lose much out of the rear of the box once the prop is off, but as you get the angle to lift it will pour out. I would label all plugs so you know where they go when you come to refit, makes it alot easier. I would take the strain of the engine on the hoist, remove engine mount bolts, then drop the subframe. remove the rear water pipes, remember thatwhen removing the gearbox mount brace, the engine will tilt back and can crush the pipes, so if you want to keep them, remove them lol. There are a few write ups for engine removal, if you need them let me know.

Series II PTU.....
Less likely to fry than the series one. The upgrade is supposed to eliminate the problems associated with the series one. When i originally replaced mine for a series 2 PTU i placed it in the original location for the first 2 years and have now moved it under the headlight panel, had no issues in either place. What problem are you having? it might not be the PTU but possibly the wiring/plugs, the extra loom is normally at fault.

Please can anyone help?
As Craig said, he is talking about fitting a tailgate tub. Tigerseal or sikaflex for both i would say or glass sealant the guys at autoglass use.

Timing belt advice please
Also the timing marks on the belt will never line up again with the marks on the sprockets, could take several thousand revolutions, so best strip it and start again.

Car runs on 5 cylinders when hot - WHY?
As Jeff said it could still be an injector, although you are hearing the ticking, the noise from the other injectors will be travelling along the same rail, so may sound like its working. Check the injector plug for corrosion and use a multimeter to test the output on the plug itself. Can only be one of these, injector/ injector plug, coil pack/ connector plug, PTU. Also check the harness wires to both inj and coil pk plugs for chafing

Toad ai606 and car battery.
I left mine disconnected for a few weeks, while i was doing an engine swap and had/have no issues. One thing i did do, probably wont make a blind bit of difference, but only because i wanted the wire out of the way ,was to stop the contacts on the bonnet pin/switch from touching.
