I know what you're at Fergus. You're hoping I'll be Mr. November with nothing to hide my modesty but a leaky sump and a socket wrench :wink:

As I said all are welcome to come down, lend a hand or make tea. All moral supporters very welcome.

I might need some manpower with the gearbox. tehy're awkward things.

I'm off to collect the engine this afternoon.

Just wondering how you got on with the transplant?

Sorry that my "help" only amounted to looking on and drinking (some very good) coffee...

Nice to put some faces to the names though since I have not managed to get to any of the gatherings.

Hope it all went back together and is working now.
