Thanks a lot mate, I'll give it a go when the bloody rain stops!

The two plugs are different

I've finally got round to fitting my replacement wing mirror but i need a bit of help wiring it up. The problem is the old wing mirror had a 7 pin plug and the new has a 5 pin plug (old was heated, new isnt) I've taken a pic of the plugs and wires, can anyone tell me which wires need to be joined together because i have no idea :p

Hey, sorry guys havnt checked the thread for a while Well done Draxan, you've done more than i could have on my own :) My new engines running well, covered 300 miles so far, then ran out of money for petrol :p Good to have her back on the road though. Keeping her at mine now since keeping it on my sisters drive (where i thought it would be safe) resulted in a series of little red dings down the side from her car doors :glare: :glare: :glare:

I'LL BE DRIVING HER AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND!!! :D So greatful for all Mark's help :)

Wont be tonight, i'm off out to enjoy my last night off work in a minute. But will try my best to post them tomorrow :)

I'll upload them next chance i get mate :)

Just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to Neil, Dave and Mark for coming to help this weekend! I honestly couldnt have got even half of the work done without your help and experience. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!! One minor hiccup with a manifold gasket, but we'll get there eventually :)

I forgot about the mondeo haha

I'm doing an engine transplant today and urgently require an engine crane. Mark (MarkDerby) has one, but he has to try squeeze it into his zed when he comes to help today, if there is anybody who either has and engine crane they can move easily OR a vehicle large enough to help Mark with his crane in Derby it would be very much appreciated! I am in coventry and can be contacted on 07891970417

Today's the day! Would like to thank anyone who has said they will come and help, and the door is very much still open if anyone else would like to come :)

Oh Mark, i've been meaning to ask you, would you be able to write me a receipt for the engine? Just for my service history thats all, so i have something to back it up should i ever (i never will) sell her.

Going to be a good weekends work. Quite looking forward to it :) I'm praying all goes well!

Tomorrows the day work starts, could anyone who's coming down please post to let me know :) so far I'm on my own till the evenin when mark comes to any help during the day would be great!

Ooops, apparently i'm not a subscribed member anymore so i cant PM anybody. Those who can come if you could let me know when and around what time that would be great :) The address of the garage is:- 190 Fletchamstead Highway, Coventry, West Midlands CV4 7BB My contact number is 07891970417

Cheers Mark, should have everything i neen now :) Anybody else able to come give me a hand? Looking like i might be on my own most of saturday so if anyone can come down and give me a hand it would be very much appreciated :) PM's have been sent to those who have already said they can come :)

The old engine already has had a water bypass so was going to get rid of them altogether on the new engine, was also going to see what else i didnt need while its in bits :) Even if you could come down just for a bit of a natter, it would be handy to have some guidance and idea's ;)

Anybody else fancy coming and getting there hands dirty?

The quicker the better, I need my zed back!! Thinking about it, if I am done with time to spare, I have the ramp as long as I want for Saturday and Sunday so I see no reason why we couldn't get another car on after mine if someone has something needing attention ;)

Fantastic :) I haven't seen you since i had my red zed, must be nearly 2 years ago! :)

That would be great mate, any time you can spare would be very much appreciated :)

He opens at 9am and said he can stay open as late as i need up to midnight. If we want we can order food to the garage, there's tea and coffee on tap and James, the owner, is a really nice guy and said he and his colleague would be there to help too.

When you say remove the gear box, do you mean removed it from the car completely or just detach it from the engine? I was hoping it would be easy enough to just leave the gear box where it is and detach it from the engine

Cheers mate :) Hopefully your the first of many. I'll give you a bell at the weekend if thats ok, weekdays are a bit hectic for me what with working nights

I wont be able to make the meet now guys. I have the weekend booked off work and i will be using it to do my engine swap on Saturday and Sunday. Although if anyone fancies a change of venue i could really use a hand :p :p :p I know it may be a little cheeky, but its warm and dry and there's a good pub over the road :p http://www.rampandwrench.co.uk/ Good luck with the meet guys, would have liked to have made this one :(
