First disconnect the battery from the car and remove it if its position is likely to interfere with the engine removal.
Remove the bonnet from the car and put in a safe place for storage. Drain the coolant from the cooling system, this can be done using the block drain on the engine located just under the exhaust manifold. Undo and remove the bottom hose of the cooling system and collect the remaining coolant in a suitable container. Remove the top hose from the engine/radiator. Undo and remove the heater hoses if the car has a heater.
Remove the fuel line from the carburettor and secure it out of the way under the nearside wing. Remove the choke and accelerator cables from the carburettor and secure them out of the way. Undo and remove the exhaust downpipe from the exhaust manifold and support the exhaust under the car. Undo the exhaust manifold nuts and remove the large washers holding the exhaust/inlet manifold in place, the exhaust/inlet manifold can now be removed and stored in a secure place.
Moving to the drivers side, remove the plug leads from the spark plugs and remove the distributor by undoing the pinch bolt on the distributor housing. The low tension wire from the coil should also be removed from the distributor at this point.
It is now possible to get at the starter motor from the engine bay. Remove the starter main feed cable on the starter by undoing the brass nut on the back of the starter main body and secure it out of the way. Undo the two bolts (one top and one bottom) on the starter and remove the starter from the engine. Note the later XF engines had 3 securing bolts for the starter.
On the passenger side of the car, remove all electrical connections to the dynamo.
On the drivers side of the car, remove the wire to the water temperature sender. Remove the small bore capillary tube for the oil pressure gauge and place under the front wing for safe keeping.
Undo the engine mountings from the brackets on the inner wings, these are generally held in place with 2 5/16"" UNF bolts and nuts, leave the nuts in place until you are ready to lift out the engine.
The engine in the phase 2 can be removed with the gearbox attached so it is now necessary to turn your attention to the gearbox ancillaries. Firstly from inside the engine bay remove the hydraulic clutch flexible hose and put it in a safe place for storage.
With a suitable jack lift the front of the car off the ground and support the weight on axle stands. From underneath the car, support the back of the gearbox using a suitable method and undo the bolts holding the gearbox mounting to the car and gearbox. Remove the gearbox mounting making sure that the gearbox is supported. Undo and remove the speedometer cable at the gearbox end. As the prop shaft is on a spline located in the gearbox extension housing it is policy at this point to drain the gearbox oil into a suitable container to avoid it spilling out of the gearbox extension once the prop shaft is removed.
From inside the car remove any trim etc to enable you to remove the gear lever and remove the lever.
With a suitable lifting strap it is now possible to lift the engine and manoeuvre the engine/gearbox up and forward to slide the prop shaft out of the gearbox, once it is free you can carefully lift the engine and gearbox, you will need to gently lift and pull it forward to clear the engine bay and front inner mouldings before eventually lifting it clear of the car. Once out the engine should be fitted to a suitable engine stand for safety/rebuild.
