Hi mate. I'll try and get along soon. I meant to ask how quickly you want you engine changed as I go on holiday in a week. Do you have a garage to work in? Purely for lights and keeping the rain off. Speak soon.

James,
you have one of the very best proper 'Mechanical Engineering/welding' Land Rover/4x4 garages' not too far away.
A place that has & really knows series vehicles.
Hamish (Sam) McKay Sen & Jun @ Mckays' Garage in Edzell.
I can only recommend them in the highest terms.

You have 'The Land Rover Doctor' Martin at a Garage beside  Loch Side Farm, across the bypass.
& then a Land Rover garage @ Maryton, not 'much cheapness' there tho.
all the best

Hi James if you are stuck I would be happy to help out as well. Done a few engine swaps, worth replacing the clutch and engine mounts as a rule unless you know the histry of the existing ones!
