Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Stripped a spare ami engine, I picked it up a couple of years ago after it had been left in a shed for 12ish years, it's full of muck

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Got the engine and 'box out of the beige Dyane. Gearbox is now on the bench with one brake drum off and the rear adjuster removed. The bolt head wasn't half chewed up, and no wonder because it was a bugger to shift even with a pair of mole grips on the snail cam.  Off to ECAS next for new adjuster "bolts" and snail cams.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? The Acadiane earned it's keep today, transferring stuff from the garage to the lockup storage container I've rented. Perfect for the job although I may have overdone the 400kg load on a few runs
