Re: tara 13 motor change
Must be a vitara owner thing. I have an engine in bits and am too sick to go out (wife wont let me) and work on it. Have to admit she might be right though as the dizzy spells when I stand up too quick or bend over to pick stuff up have gone past being funny now. I would kill for a decent nights sleep as well.
Even a medicinal port doesnt seem to have helped. May have to up the dosage.

Re: tara 13 motor change
If it was closer to home I would, Upper Hutt is a bit far to venture after I have stood around watching and drunk all yah beer. Get photo's!!!
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Wish I could help (might help with figuring out where shit goes on mine - which I am still finding problems with but thats part of the fun).
If the HP fuel line (from hard line by brakes up to the back of the manifold) hasnt all ready been spoken for I would be interested in that also (for a few more $$$ of course). It seems that in the eagerness to extract this engine the removal guys just cut stuf that was in the way or connected.
Still it keeps me away from Coro Street and Shorty Street (but not Top Gear) so it cant be that bad...

I seem to have drawn the short straw with all those "willing to help out" down there the job will just fly by. I only have one person watching me (two if the Dog counts - at least she is on my side and thinks this is a great project) and she just mutters under her breath mosty of the time and walks away. Yeah she offers incouragement but I think it is just reverse psycology (sp) and she hopes I will chuck in the towel.
