mellonman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Any news how did the heart transpant go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 It was a long day yesterday but, SHE LIVES again!!! James is an absolute legend with a set of spanners and a socket set. I was amazed at the sheer amount of work required for this engine transplant. James' attention to detail and general knowledge of the MKIV astounds me. We checked all the levels after putting fresh fluid in, new filters etc. Car idled perfectly, fired up first time and didn't overheat. Lovely journey home. Think we started about 10:30am and were done by 9pm. We had a visit from Adam 'hackinbashin' (can't remember how it's spelt lol) so he lent a pair of hands if we needed as he was working on his own car. We would have been done earlier if I was a bit handier with the spanners myself sadly I was the assistant which slowed things down. Honestly though, a massive thanks to James for giving up his Saturday to do this out of the kindness of his own heart. (Well a McDonalds breakfast anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
