Update , weigh in car @2t = £280 Without engine = £165 A contributing factor so its a no go lol I might be into recycling but that's too much trouble , sorry if I've wasted any of your time but thought I'd mention it

Lol I'm cutting it out with an angle grinder , start at the ecu and work all directions till the engines freeeeee

Unfortunately my brain directs me to recycle as best I can , not just to save the planet but I enjoy the challenges it throws in my path , its an education , I could buy a boat or any system I want but that's not for me lol , cheers for all your help forums are great for an unbiased opinion and...

If I remove I assume I will keep immobilizer , exhaust sensors , keeping the cooling system , anything else come to mind , can I override the abs in some fashion ?

My initial thought was that I would damage the diff , is that not so as it makes my life easier

If its easier to adapt the diff to all run off one of the driveshafts that's fine , just clutching at straws without any experience of that end of the engine , did think to leave one side free but thought that may cause damage

The prop will need its own gearbox as I intend to salvage an outboard , remove the engine and be capable of switching to a 12v motor to run off batteries when the suns been out enough lol , aiming for part solar set up off grid

Want to use the engine to run a propeller one side and belt drive various add on units the other side , option of independent isolation is great but expect to have to disengage the prop via a gear selector

As tittle , removing engine for power source , want to lock or control the differential its a 1.9 DTI 51 plate cheers

Basically YES , unfortunately it's not in his interest to do so

Good advice, having the architrave, skirtings and socket plates on will cost a fair amount extra in plastering and give poorer results

Why not dot and dab moisture boards
