All I can say is, I hope you derive the maximum pleasure from your travails.

If you find yourself running short of good old Anglo-Saxon words to help things along, there are still a few of us who haven't gone off gallivanting all over Europe, who are only too pleased to help.

How do you do the gearbox mount? It's one of the jobs on my list.

Hi ray , gearbox mount was pretty straightforward, although my new one from Burton was an uprated one and the actual metal recess in the mount for the gearbox is shallower therefore making it necessary to jack the gearbox up quite a bit more to manhandle the mount in .
The box goes up a fair amount and it had to be tight up in the transmission tunnel before the mount went in and the box was dropped back down into the mount recess.
It's a bit of a faff but not really that difficult.
Hope this helps.
I've had a look at the other rubber on the suspension etc and it's all looking a bit tired .....
