Whoever you use 2 hours labour to strip asses the damage would be worthwhile(presuming you can remove the gearbox yourself)? You may then be able to salvage some of what's left to sell on even if you do go the haldex route
-
Why not have your current gearbox stripped and inspected by Stealth? I'd have thought it unlikely all gears would be damaged?
-
When the wipers wont sweep put 12V to the motor to prove the motor is OK
-
Do the wipers park at the bottom of the screen when they fail or at random?
-
The coil reader around the ignition switch is the most likely culprit if the spare key doesn't improve things, check its plug for cleanliness / security. Cheapest starting point too
-
It wont cure that issue anyway. Dim - dip, ignition off one click of the headlamp switch puts side lights on, 2nd click puts dipped beam on (or main beam if selected by the column switch. Dim - dip with ignition on, one click puts on dipped beam on with reduced voltage via a wire wound resistor (reduces the voltage to the dipped beam bulb), 2nd click puts on dipped beam with full voltage.
-
Have you tried a spare key? Do you have other car keys on the same keyring that could be being locked out by the factory immob? I'm sure Stealth can remove the immob from your ECU if you post it to them - phone first. Does the car cut out once on the move or fail to start from rest?
-
You have to disconnect the dim - dip resistor when you fit an updated loom otherwise you can't select side lights and with the ignition on
-
What sensors off the old engine haven't you transferred to the new one?
-
I'd check the condition of the belt first and its tension. Jack the car up and see where the leak is coming from

You'll never know for sure, but they're stretch bolts, made to stretch once only and then be replaced, personally I wouldn't have reused them as the potential cost far out weighs the cost of the bolts.

T4 / T5 van owners use this stuff http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151155678947?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

There's not much room for a bypass in the end cap?
-
Looks like a VR6 downpipe to me?
-
I struggled to give mine away
-
Plenty to choose from http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/classic-auctions/latest-classic-car-catalogue/saturday-7th-november/ I wanted to go but I'm stuck dog sitting, nearly a 7 hour round trip for me and similar to watch them all go through?

Single line as far as I'm aware, but you can stack them as high as you like
-
You can buy cartridges of various colours. The printer was £8 from costco, the cartridges are quite expensive but you can buy copies too
-
Bad day with cam install... think I found the reason.... FIXED & RUNNING.

Have you cranked the engine over using a spanner on the crank pulley? -
The other is wrapped alloy sheathing, this one is an A/C car
-
Heater matrix hose? Mine has a plastic cylinder sandwiched by rubber pipes
-
If you pop the gold coloured linkage off the motor you should be able to move the wiper rack with your hands, if its tight its probably the spindles seized. If its tight pop the long silver linkage off and you will be able to see if its O/S or N/S spindle that's seized. If you run the motor without the rack connected it should be almost silent - mind your fingers messing with the rack
-
Check to see if the motor is turning and the wipers are parked, the short linkage wears and drops off the motor, mine did this earlier this year
