HOW LONG

[Doug G]

How long should it take a competent mechanic to replace :

• The flywheel Bolt and Lock Washer - Pre Verto
  The flywheel Key Plate - Pre Verto 1
  The two front CV Joints (using the CV kit) Kit Including boots
  The engine mounting standard brackets
  The Engine Steady Bush Kit - Competition Rubber
  The Poly Bush Kit - Gearbox Stabiliser
  and the Gearbox Mounting Remote Type 1 Each 6.34

So basically the flywheel bolted lock washer, the engine mounts and gearbox stabiliser.

2, 4, 8, 12,16, 24 working hours, longer ?

My 'mechanic' says that I may get it back in the second week in January.

He already has the parts for 10 days already.

Told me I needed parts. I got them. He then sat around for two months doing nothing.

Then says I need another set of parts (see above post). I got them here on the 10th.



Christmas Spirit? I am being driven to start drinking it.

So basically how long should reasonably take to do in a single go i.e. hours?

[Willie_B]

12-13 hours, a bit extra included for hardware that does not want to play well. Also depends on how easy the flywheel comes off and if he has the proper tool to assist in that.

[Doug G]

Flywheel is off at present.

Hi Doug. I would agree with Willie_B should about 12-13 hours, however it may depend on Manyana, had a Sprinter van blow a Turbo in Spain, dealer said ready in a day, actually took 4 days and me kicking off!!!!! On that basis I would say about a week.

I am being faced with months.

The distributor is here, now he want boots for the front cv joints (which I have bought).

Then the Mini Mokes needs a MOT +/-£12.50 (such as it is here) then get it licensed +/-£325.00.

Money money money.

£325 ! Is that a one off or per year

[Doug G]

£325 ! Is that a one off or per year

Oops, currency error should be +/-£100.00.

Both costs are per year.

[Doug G]

At least somebody reads the messages I post.
