  You can just drop the engine out on the subframe cant you??

• 
  @samwel693 күн бұрын

  @gozney1987 yea you can, I should have done it that way to be fair, cus it was a pain in the arse to line the subframe up again, I don't normally have a problem.

  Bloody hell mate, you've got a project and a half on your hands. That dash surprised me, never realised a Mk5 Astra dash would fit in there. Going to be a challenge getting the heater controls etc. to work. Same with the wiring loom in the engine bay and throughout the car. Look forward to updates and good luck getting it sorted!

• 
  @samwel69Ай бұрын

  They are just mk1 xc90 2002-2012, you just have to make sure you buy the 336mm discs and caliper to suit, if you go on ebay then are usually listed as 336mm calipers.
