well, it had to happen at some point.
The car is now up on blocks (4 concrete blocks per wheel) doubled up giving me a lift of about 9 inches.
Popping into Selco's on the way home to get it higher still.
I received a call from a guy who is a retired Volvo Mechanic (he owned his own Volvo business here in Cardiff)
he knows the PRV engine well, he also has a liking for VW's and guitars - so I'm sure we will get on ok?
So the engine recommissioning will get underway - hope to get the rear off the car tonight to get good access. I bloody hope all goes ok
