Jason.... regarding the locking of the crankshaft whilst you tighten the flywheel bolts.... easy... as you look at the flywheel, one of the threaded holes in the block on the LH side of the flywheel, about the 10 o'clock position, is really close to the starter ring.... so i put a long bolt in there, through a socket (think i was something like 17mm) 1/2" drive, this left a gap between the starter ring and said socket of about 10mm, enough to wedge in a piece of wood.

With the engine on the floor being partially supported by the crane, the bolts did up to the 81lb/ft easily... the engine didn't move an inch (as it's friggin heavy!)

The piece of wood was well and truly wedged in the gap, but just undoing the bolt to remove it, it all came away easily.

Didn't get any pics of that though.

Set off from Cheshire for the 4 hour drive to Pembrokeshire, stopped at Oswestry for fuel, filled up, then made a few phone calls, then waited for a short while for Neil from Fuel Flush (excellent service and thoroughly nice guy) to turn up and remove the tank full of unleaded from my 130. Then filled up with diesel.

So what have I learnt? amongst other things..... A completely empty 130 tank takes 77.72litres

Whilst waiting I phoned home and spoke to my daughter who very politely asked me "Daddy can I call you stupid" to which I agreed

Now finally arrived in Pembrokeshire feeling slightly lighter in the wallet and suitably stupid.

250 mile round trip to pick up this totally unmolested and original lightweight with fsh and mot

Series 3 lightweight, truck cab, homemade roll cage. Hmmmm

What's the plate on it? Can't remember but think it was something like *&^ 908X

I may know it from 18 years ago (although it was blue and assume there are plenty of LAPs with truck cabs and roll cages it just looks very familiar)

If it's got an arctic heater between the seats and a 2.25 diesel in it then chances are it's the same car.
