(Meat for the rest of us

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

We may not be in the elan 
Took it for a re-test today
CO levels now okay
..........
.........hydrocarbons waaaay too high.........
smoke from the exhaust - running poorly (#4 not at all!)
....white smoke .......
looks like HGF (again) -
still deciding whether to do the HG or swap the whole lump for the one on the drive and then re-build at leisure
Anyone know how long it really takes to do a straight swap?
Is it easier to do just engine, or as a whole lump with the gearbox??

I did back-to-back engine and gearbox changes last year. The second one took two of us three days which included swapping ancillaries (including clutches) from engine to engine.

Far easyer to do the head gasket than swapping engines
Go for the Lotus HG this time
