congratulations! :D
we finally got mine out as well on friday... thanks to steve for the tip about leaving the gearbox in as well - that helped a lot. quite a few rubber bits have gone dry but aside from that nothing nasty found so far... fingers crossed!

Excellent oportunity to educate others not as fortunate as yourselves as to the sequence of events with this project, complete with part #s. I know, a broken record but nobody locally has a clue re the Beat even the Dealers.

I did do a thread on how to take it apart so far.

As for part numbers, the only ones I can update you on now are head gasket and cam belt. Which I will try and get today :)

Here's the how I did it so far thread:

We found to take the sump off we had to remove the clutch plate and the gearbox, and the fly wheel to get to all the bolts to undo the sump. :rolleyes:

Sadly not, it was cancelled :awwww:

They said maybe later in the year, so we will see.

It's off to the Donny show this weekend on a trailer. We've had to put the engine in without the pistons so the back end isn't up like a tractor, and I've got the little boot space back.

When the gugeon pins arrive on the 12th April, we can then get the engine out again :rolleyes: take it apart again and then build it back up again properly
