It was £76.99 with postage and it was from Autosprint or Vauxhallparts (Shez) on Mig

I had a bit of trouble friday night, I was on my way to meet up with some freinds and while driving down the road i heard some load nocking noises, I pulled over, poped the bonnet and looked and felt around to feel that the gearbox was nocking. I think the flywheel bolts came undone.
So ive now taking it off the road abit early and started taking it apart, in 6 - 8 hours a maniged to do this.

I had another crack at it last night, I thought i would be clever and take the engine out without a crane or suchlike, boy was i wrong.
I Undone all the gearbox bolts, then the gearbox mount and the rear 1, then i couldnt get the box out so i undone the engine mount and O shit it all folded up and fell through the middle onto a bucket of oil, that went everwere. I was able to get the box out after fighting with it for about 20-30mins, I then had to phone a mate up to get him to come around and help me lift the engine out (Im not as strong as i thought) we still struggald to get it out even tho id nearley striped it.

Rear axel is off
Engine Loom is out
1 leg is off
I forgot to take my camra home lastnight so i didnt get any pics but i will do 2night!
