Re: bushes

I have all the front subframe out for the engine replacement, so no problem to replace any/all the bushes. Why do you say leave subframe ones out? Does it make for too hard a ride? Cheers, Ian.

You go and see the HR Dept and say.."if you're going to keep me I will stay, if not I'm off to university.. your choice?" and see what they say?

Re: Engines and other bitz

Hi, yes they were, the previous owner of my Dolly, broke three 1500's, hence all the spares. Unfortunately, for all the boxes of spares, he didn't keep a clutch pedal and assembly! Cheers, Ian.

How do I identify my engines?

Greetings from New Zealand!<br>
As a pom over here, I had to have a UK car and have bought a Dolomite. It is an 1850, but the engine is cooked.<br>
It comes with three spare engines that I think are either 1300cc or 1500cc; definately not the same as the 1850, how do I identify what I have? Thanks ...
