Freelander 1 Engine swap Q's

Good news on the engine transplant

Well done on the engine swap. Hopefully won't be too big a job swapping the drive shafts.

No, I had to hammer the drive shafts back out of the hub. They were stuck in fast!

Just needs some new bottom wishbones and I reckon it'll be good for an MOT.

Great. Unless you have another source, Eurocarparts have them for £60 each minus 30% atm so just under £80 for the pair. Not OEM but Q-Drive aren't the worst quality. Should be good for a couple of years anyway.

Thank you, i have already ordered a set off jgs4x4 they were £52 for the pair on ebay. Along with some drop links for £10.

Just the head gasket to do next, I think the car got taken off the road quite early on into the HGF so hopefully shouldn't have caused too much problems to the block.

What gasket kit are you using?

I've got the Elring kit from euro car parts but need to change it for the payen kit. I thought I had ordered the payen as well.
