Re: Removal of b200 engine mounts

Its got a pretty strong sump so I have supported it on blocks of wood - I thinks it should be OK if you leave the bell-housing and torque tube attached, but others will know for sure.

Re: rust-ography

Sorry, its wasn't original - I heard that one about 10 years ago. Still its not a bad bit of rhyming slang.
I suddenly got that while eating my dinner.

Re: Anywhere to buy a new sill?

On the sills, I do have a couple which I got the fleabay for about £1 (those were the days) and I have taken them to the welder whenever the blue basket needs sill-work and he always says they're the wrong part (which I...

Re: Coolant loss, other symptoms

Hello, the heater was a bit feeble but it hasn't been flushed through for a long time. There was a slow coolant leak from the valve controlled by the heater cable which I replaced about 7 years ago. The water pump was replaced about the same time along with the radiator. Cheers for now, bogbasic.
