Best place to check out at the moment is ebay - these are becoming hot currency now because of people wanting them for 24V RWD hybrids so expect to pay £125 or above now.

;) carefull on these as the 2.8 and 2.9 box's are differant ?

The 2.8 (type 9 ) and the 2.9 (MT75) will not interchange due to the starter motor positions but to get it to fit the cossie I have no idea if they will fit unless some one has already done one on here if so :-[ :-[ :-[
this is my type 9 one

There is an MT75 4x4 box on ebay for £100 at the moment - not far from me.

Where are you ?

Thanks everyone for your help.

I have managed to get a diesel Scorpio box from a breaker which I have sent to a contact Highlander gave me and he has the other half to make me a converted MT75 box.

The transport company that was collecting my donor car let me down last week and didn't collect the car, promised me he will collect this Monday :(
Anyone in the Aberdeen area that knows how to get a BOB engine out with the minimum of fuss and is free next weekend, I would welcome the help, and I will make sure my wife doesn't cook anything for you ;D

Thanks
Colin

The engines easy, its the loom that takes the time :)

engine and box best removed from below, dropping the entire subframe is your best bet, depends on your facilities really, if the cars not being reused i usually just cut off the front end and pull the engine and box out that way :)

}{ I like it, don't know if my neighbours would though. But I think you are right this looks like the way to go. I need the engine out in a hurry but the rest I can take my time over.
Seems a shame to do that to a 98 car though :(

Cheers
Colin

Looks like you have the optional 'weight saving' front passenger door ;D

What size angle grinder do you use for surgery on that scale ?

Stihl saw ;D

Its handy this way, you dont need to raise the car up over the engine, just wheel the engine lift in and out, ideal on a drive ;)
