Apparently already changed hands:eek:,talked to the new owners who know it's my stuff and they seem ok(so far),the former owner is going to be told I passed and to call me.I'll want to have a chat with him and see what's what,pickaxe handle being loaded shortly.Good job the garage is right...
Just went down to see the garagist where my Troll is to find he has sold the business,my car and engine are still there now I've got to find out where I stand with him and get the bloody thing sorted!:eek::(:doh

Have seen one 4.2 Y61 on Auto Trader I think but verey rare.I've got a Y60 2.8TD and had a 4.2 diesel,both great towing cars,my 2.8 has pulled a few heavy/awkward things and am mightily impressed.The guys on here will give you good info,and by the way bienvenue from SW France
I tapped in the model of my Trol and it came up with one style,easy to fit,cheaper than getting a bit of plate and making one,delivered to France 7.25 euros,well happy.Tap in your Terrano model and you should be sorted:thumb2
It's also been dispatched today,result.
Saw your posting on the exhaust and the vid,mmmmmmmmmm only slightly jealous:D,just need to verify if it causes a problem with the CT(French MOT) as I don't really want to waste money if they'd fail it,so far she has sailed through each time but want to make sure.
Just checked mine,remembered I joined in May and hadn't renewed:naughty, but it has automatically paid up,phew!
Great site,loads of help and info,especially for me being in France:thumb2
So how many of us members are over here in France and where?

When I do get the old girl up on ramps finally to get exhaust etc ddisconnected for engine removal would like to look at fitting a stainless shortened exhaust,maybe a side exit like a lot of the SWB Trols have for offroading.That would mean one less box,also not sure of standard pipe size,has...
Brief update,Trol still in dry dock,carlift at garage(one of two) still broken down pushing me back down the queue as it's a favour not an earner,so getting fed up:doh.On top of that the garagist has been on holiday and now away on training!!!!:doh.Will have to apply some pressure.Sorry...
When I finally get the engine swapped:( I want to blank off the EGR,I have put a ball bearing in the small rubber tube,has anyone got any photos of the blanking plate so I can make one and any recommendations for best material,thanks.
Seen a pair of new plastic ones for sale on Leboncoin here in France for 250 euros,someone else had some metal ones in varying condition from 40 to 90 euros on the same site.
