I ran a wire from the stop solenoid on the pump and did the same to the starter solenoid... it caught straight away! Just the same in Lola 8)

I can see that its going to be a very good engine 8)


Well it only did 49.000 miles 8) 8) 8) Lets hope I will not figure out a way how to kill this one in three minutes :oops: :lol: :lol:

Well done Nadjenka :!: :D
It was your enthusiasm that got you (and others) going :wink:

Special credit goes to MinorMatt for driving all the way up from Southampton to swap out the engines :!: AND connect up enough to get the beast :shock: ................................Lola running :!: :lol:

Special thanks to Decky for letting me borrow his P/Steering bracket from his yet to be transplanted engine :!:
And don't worry, Nadjenka WILL replace it for you, should you find a suitable power steering box for the MK2 it's going into :D (can anyone help with that :?: )

And to let you know, I popped back and fitted the shorter bolt in the hole that holds the front of the bracket, as it seems to be wet with fresh oil :? So must be needed :wink:

You do the credits soooo much better than I ever could! :roll: But you forgot yourself......... :mrgreen: As I wrote before - I don't know what I'll have to do to repay all that time you guys spent with me, efforts and cheers... I gave up on Saturday once again, Matt pulled it together - both Lola and me, but I was very close to loosing it. Lost the reason why am I doing this, why am I wasting peoples time, what was it about Transit that I am willing to ask for soooo much stuff? And today I just remembered it all once I was sitting in Lola and driving her home. It's the engine oil in our veins. It's the beat that goes with the beat of my heart I guess... :lol: I know - now I have gone too sfty and romantic on the mostly male forum - but I don't care - that is the real reason WHY.

And I will be waiting for the time, when I can return all your favours... :wink:

Decky, I'm already on the bracket case, will definitely have it by Wednesday :D The box you need is not that easy to get, I'll keep asking. Thank you for your help! :D

Hi Nada

a P/S box for a mk2 is as rare as rocking horse poo! In fact they dont exist and you need one from a mk3 LWB. Expect to pay £200+
