Currently having a break from trying to get the gearbox back on. The bugger just won't go and my arms are burning.

And it's bloody freezing under the J today with the wind making it worse :'(

Well done mate, I spent 3 hours undoing the bellhousing bolts, taking exhaust off, removing propshaft ect. and struggled like hell to do 2 bolts on bellhousing. lying on your back in the rain and cold is not good is it! so I lost my rag and rung the local garage, they collected car and towed it round to the workshop, and 3 hours later they had done the job.....and charged me £50.......best £50 I have ever spent!!!!!!
