Any advice on the American forums? I can't imagine it not being removable as a lump but who knows what order it was assembled in.

Would it be "simpler" just to pull the engine and box as one from the olds? Does the front panel remove so you can pull it out forwards rather than at a silly angle?

That's going to be easy to rebuild or replace though, it'll be something like a C4 or FMX

Owning a Range Rover that I have been ignoring for years that thread seriously gives me the fear!

I like reading that thread along with CNDs 40 tonnes of boatshite and and his scimitar thread and the one about building a steam lorry- all of which serve to remind me how complex things are...

Took no1 son to the Green Day American idiot musical, sent wife and no 1 daughter shopping, came home got drunk, had fire in garden.

Ladas were alright (in a crude unrefined heavy to drive sort of way) probably wouldn't go out of my way to own one now though.

Ask for cash in lieu of repair

Did you check the price of a head set from Rock Auto in the states or if Real Steel do them here?

Good to get a diagnosis though.

Those Yank wagons are quite lovely and would be entirely practical with 2 kids, almost 2 dogs and a caravan to tow about.
Shame the price and general niceness puts me of using one as a daily.
