For a short term option I've sourced a cheap engine whilst I suss out what's gone wrong with the one in situ...
ETIS is overly and unnecessarily drawn out so isn't much use, but....
Has anyone managed to swap an engine out on the 1.7 whilst leaving the gearbox in situ?
I've done this before on other cars, motivation here being that I've just changed the gearbox oil and put the bugger back in, I'd prefer to not have to remove the whole lot all over again.
I know it's not considered 'ideal', but anyone tried it?
