Engine out for gearbox- what else?

[ZedRS6]

Hi guys

So currently getting my gearbox refreshed and have the engine out, I’m giving the turbos on for a refresh also, just wanted to ask what else I should be looking at to change while the engines out?
Thanks

It's a fairly standard list. Depends on mileage, but assuming it's an 80-100K car, I'd say most of these are due:
* Bufkin Pipe
* EGT sensors
* Upper Lambda Sensors
* F125

There are other bits too - intercoolers, MAFs, but they're all doable engine in.

Have a good check on the steering rack and associated pipe work. Caught me out last year and a nightmare to get at.

Timing belt seeing as its out and might be due?

Yeah, certainly while the lock carrier is off, much easier to do.

I Went to Auto Trans in Wembley I will def give feedback once the car is back on road.
So far I’ve
Refurbished the turbos
Replaced rear main seal
Rocker cover gaskets
May do chains and tensioners

Tensioners, or at least the shoes, isn't a bad shout - depends on mileage.
Although is also doable engine in following Nobby's guide.
