Hello All,

Would anybody happen to have a shedule or list of how to remove the engine from my highline.

I am sure it can be done without paying silly labour charges??

Any help would be excellent

Thankyou

It's not that difficult to do. The engine, gearbox and front subframe all comes out as one unit once you've disconnected the exhaust downpipe, driveshafts, front struts, hoses & wiring.

cor thats a lot ov work to just take engine out why take subframe out and if he does what about disconnecting steering column from rack which is also connected to subframe .

first ov all you want to take front end off of car so you can access engine easier to do this disconnect hoses from radiator and wires to fan and lights and tempsender in rad then unbolt front end ie bumper then bumper bar then rad housing you then have much better access to engine then remove driveshafts exhaust manifold and gear linkage from gearbox also its easier if you unbolt clutch slave complete from box rather than just take hydraulic pipe out ov slave cos you wont lose any fluid then disconnect plug to speedo sensor also disconnect water hoses from heater matrix and the ones from expansion bottle or unbolt expansion bottle ,then unscrew main electrical block on side ov engine and disconnect leads from starter motor and main earth to gearbox then find secure way to attach engine hoist and trust me you better off using hoist cos they weigh loads once all this is done unbolt all 3 engine mounts then just take hoist up to take weight of engine then i find it easier to remove the bar the front engine mount sits in and pull straight forward out of car mate job done.
