  1. As titled, I'm looking to get the engine and box out of the car as it needs some welding doing in the bay, plus the wiring is all old and broken so it's going to be easier to assess things with the box and engine out of the way. Only thing is this would be my first engine removal, so I'm just wondering if people have any experience in this and can advise the best way to do it? Also the engines done like 183K, I was thinking whilst the engine's out it's worth sending the turbo off for maintenance? As there's zero history with the car.
  2. Hello all, I managed to get my STDT started about 4 months ago by bodging the battery wiring back together - it's in a right mess, and now I know it runs the timing belt n water pump are en route but along with that I need a way of making the wiring more secure, the main battery wiring from the starter to the battery terminal has fell to pieces, fraying everywhere and the crimp connectors are coming off (amazingly not through corrosion though, they appear to be too short), so I'm going to replace them, however I wanted to ask if anyone's used somewhere specific before for battery / starter cables because the last thing I want is a cable that's too small that turns into an inductive trace heater It's looking like a lot of the wiring for main power has had it, so it'd be replacing both the battery live and return and both starter motor cables as I'd prefer to swap them out than splice given the cable size.
