I saw this the other day and tbh It's going to be a bargin for someone.

I asked him the mileage and he recons about 70,000.

I'd have it myself but I have no way of transporting it. Crying or Very sad

I'd put it in the boot but I've got no way of lifting the bloody thing on my own! I'm down a my mum/dads so it's a bit hard to get a truck and crane from army.(plus Iv not got a c licence)

do you recon I can 2 man lift that engine into the boot? I've done it with an energy lump and that wasn't too bad.

tbh, engine, box and manifolds altogether, i would be impressed to see between the arms of two men...as in clear of the ground.

that was an easy vertical lift.

i managed to pick up georges old 1.4 and chuck it in that boys boot easily enought but it was easy to pick up due to size.

I did have a bit of a struggle trying to lift a 16v engine and box about 10 feet into the shed, its the width of it with the manifolds on that make it hard.

pop the manifolds off and its a good bit lighter.

under 200 kilos maybe 180 ish for the lump, box, alt etc loom

also a great trick, drain the oil! that bloody weighs a fair bit and dribbles out

Yea I've made that mistake before, it's supprising how much weight you loose by draining the oil.
