TZD engine and box.

In case you are only after the 5th gear cog set, why not remove that bit then Cavmad can weigh the rest of it in?

Hi Mike!
I'm not after the box....Monica's new box is coming from another source!

The engine is going to be refurbed as a spare!

Mega-work planned for next week (some holiday!). Clutch, replacement box, strut change, Octopus, Timing belt, plus any other little jobs that crop up during the engine-out phase!

That lot should see Monica right for a good couple of years!

Good to meet you & the missus on Sunday. Are you going to Stratford?

Oh....was it you that was selling a BX Instrument pod with all the gubbins? I might be in need of one!

cheers
Dave

I've got one if Mike hasn't Dave, in fact I've probably got two or three.

Hi,

Yes it was me; but if you are going to see Cavmad soon - get his as it is much nearer.

I am not sure exactly when Stratford is, sometime in September usually.

Dave and Jaba, if you pm me sometime today I'll reply with my phone number so we can get something sorted out.

Billy I'm pleased to see these will not be weighed in despite me deciding not to use them for a TD conversion after all!

cavmad · Post by **cavmad** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:26 pm

Weighing them in was going to be the last resort Ed, glad they found a home. Thanks for letting me know you couldn't collect them by the way, apologies for not returning your pm.

I reckon the pallet approach has a future for large heavy items or anything accross country where mail is not an option, certainly worth looking at in the future, rates seem quite fair!!

Agreed. I once sent some Transit Mk3 bullbars which cost nearly seventy quid by a parcel firm. The guy who does the pallet collection/delivery is a recovery truck operator too who's done some pretty cheap work for me when I couldn't be arsed going in my own.

The TZD is now sitting in the boot of my TXD, awaiting lifting out! (A job for tomorrow!). It survived the trip from Billys to Blackburn without even shifting an inch, despite running into the aftermath of a flipped-over Landrover and BIG trailer on the M6 just South of Thelwall Viaduct!

Thanks to Billy and Vanny for all the assistance in splitting the box off the engine (pi$$-easy job!) and then hoisting it into the back of Monica (not quite so pi$$-easy job). Vanny had the sense to leave us before we attempted to lift it - clever sod!!

Good to have a nice day in pleasant company, getting sh1t up to the elbows with a BX!!!

A scouser avoiding work? Surely not! Glad the bits have found a good home Dave. I don't envy you getting the blooming thing back out of your car though!
