This is the one I just took out of the cabby as it would only fire on 3 cylinders.

Chris and I had a quick look over it and it seems in good enough condition although it will need a new head gasket.

It's free though so if nothing else it's good spares for whoever collects it.

This is collection only and I'm not dirtying up the cabby by taking it to the fcs either.

Ahem, it's the whole engine.

bottom end, head, cams, inlet manafold and whatever is still attached to it.

Remember I now work with the RMP who won't do anything for anyone as their so stuck up their own arses!

White car won't be up for an mot till the begining of next month anyway (unless I sell the cabby).

Yeah you did lift it Chris, just about, but I'd love to see you pick it up and put it in the back of a car on your own!

like I did to get it into my skyblue hatch, then to lift it up onto the makro troleey.

Or the time I havd to lift one out myself srtanding on the strut tops with a chain, that was a hard one I have to say and I was a damn sight slimmer/sexier/and stronger back then though.

I bet back then you were the splitting image of the strapping kilt-wearing hammer-swinging caber-tossing chap on the front of the porridge oats box, he could have that engine out with one hand, och aye! Laughing

If I hadn't come up in the van before you said it was going to take both of us ages to get your engine into the hatch!

I'm not busting a gut to give a free engine away Chris. Nor am I going to damage my car trying to do it on my own.

I lifted Neal's bottom end out of the estate on my own when I got home from london and that wasn't exactly my Idea of fun.

my famous blackpool when I was skinny pics are the best one before I got fat liek now.

I remmebr I coudl lift the cars easily.

The white chamade, I had to lift the back end up and off the boulders it was resting on whilst amber and george went under the car and pulled them all out.

I struggled to lift the energy over, I coudl only lift one side then shove it over.

pathetic I am now, sad state of affairs.

although I am the source of ridicule as fat boy from my mum and sister.
