Back to the peugeot 607.
Every one in the office had been avoiding the peugeot 607 engine replacement. It is well rusted underneath, and during the course of removing the old engine, it drew blood
.
After church on Sunday tuned my phones to silence mode, and went in Guns blazing
Problem 1. The exhaust bolts, at the junction were rusted, and a replacement (along with catalysts) had been sourced, but getting the old one out was the task.
