Title: Another six bite the dust.
Post by Highlander on Jun 5^th, 2011, 10:34pm

Just spend the whole weekend 7am till 10 pm stripping out a few of the breaker Scorpios I had sitting around.

4 gone to the Scorpio scrapyard in the sky and another two joining them first thing tomorrow morning.

New scrapyard opened nearby offering a higher price so i used them, as I went in with the first one one of the guys came over saying he had never seen a Scorpio for years and years...

After the third time I went in blowing the horn at him and pointing back to the trailer I think he was getting a bit fed up with it ;)

So another 6 are gone forever but plenty parts remain ;D

One thing worthy of a mention I did discover on a 2 litre M reg estate was a pair of Munro shocks on the rear!!

Will post up my findings on the estate shocks thread in the How to do things section...

Yes Gozz,

For the 108mm Joints................

No need to take the whole diff, whip the rear cover off and knock the circlips off then they slide out with a little tap ;)

Cheers M8

Thanks Lee.

No Lee

Those ones are smaller ;)

It's only "Bug Eye" Scorpio 24V, 12V and Diesels that have the big flanges............

I have 3 LSD diff's as "choices" for the Puma, but only have one set of flanges here ATM :(

Cheers Dave
