I went in to get it yesterday, but the driver was still on his run so I left the signature and instructions. I went to peters house last night -400 km round trip- to put his engine and bix back in his car, its getting delivered saturday morning.

As for driveshafts, they are long, they twist and absorb much of the abuse, diff bearings do not.

I smashed two 5 speeds at ~170rwkw but the 1.8 torsen in my clubman has held up fine.

Finally got a chance to take a couple more pics of the oil cooler with the car back together.

Oil filter in the mouth, you cant see it behind the plate.

Cooler.

One more of the shiny bits.

Oil changes will now be super easy, it was impossible to get to the filter from the top of the engine bay before with the re-route hard pipe in the way.

Thanks again Dann.

Looks great, hope no smartass removes your oil filter while it's parked at the shops.

Yeah, that would suck.

Highly unlikely though, its almost impossible to see, i was lying on the ground to take that pic.

Just walking by you would have no idea it is there. i could always toss a spare filter in the boot just in case.

I'm now going to be on the lookout for this car around Newcastle...

Not to steal the filter, but maybe to leave a note saying I was going to...

Looks the good though, what's that run supplied and installed (assuming it wasn't s special favour repayment deal).

We all have a strange fascination with big fat snakey pipes.

I wonder if it is a penis thing?
