Hi guys

I came across this workshop time guide from noble in my files and thought it might be useful for some. Im not saying that these times are correct/accurate etc, just sharing :-)

Interesting, I have run a race car so know most of the shortcuts and have had lots of practice pulling a Noble apart, but some of those are so wrong.

A good one is taking an engine out takes longer than a gearbox.I'm assuming you don't have to add all the other associated operations on.

And 4 hours for a front turbo, does that include manufacturing the turbo?

As I said, I dont think the times are totally accurate in some cases, so im not saying they are gospel, certainly as Jetstream/Bespoke could probably lift an engine in a day.

Probably takes into account that the bolts/nuts can bind. Garage just took over a day trying to get mine off to change gaskets and sheared the odd stud.

But if you've had a bit of practice you can do it on a ramp through the triangular hole in less than an hour. the turbo and down pipe fit thought the hole as a lump.

Interesting, not seen this before. Did this come from the US as I'd be surprised if the factory were ever so efficient biggrin

I cant quite remember where I got it, it might of been when I picked up the build manual - which would have been for the US
