Engine Crane

[VXandy]

Does Anybody fancy borrowing me an engine crane (a fold down one preferably) so i can fit an engine back into my Van? I will show lots of man love (in the form of rep . . . to those of you getting ideas)

Thanks in advance

What a rip lol. 18 quid for a weekend here and that's getting it on the Friday eve. and returning Monday morn. A quid each way for delivery/collection too. :) I get to choose which one I want too - ever get the feeling you strip too many cars? lol

Agreed though, can't see anyone lending FOC when they pay £150+ for them.

.."neighbours...everybody needs good neighbours"...lol

[L14MNP]

lmao there was no-one in those OAP bungalows mate. They had all been bussed off somewhere else about a week prior. All flattened now, which is good and bad. I had no neighbours that side of the house and could use the parking bays for whatever I like as you have seen lol

I went in the house and was greeted by this on my return! :eek:

Lol, awesome, one of those "what the... how the... lol" moments :D

Its only a small place mate and the fella that runs it doesn't look like he can count past ten with out taking his shoes off, I don't think he'd know how to turn a computer on let alone commission a website but I'll get you the number the next time I drive past if you want

If you regularly ar*e on with cars then the £150 spent on a crane will be money well spent, i bought a used one for about £120 about 11 year ago, one of the handiest things i've bought.
I must've loaned it out a good 50+ times to various folk over the years, all for FOC as well !!

[L14MNP]

If I had one and the lad was local I'd lend it out dude. Just in my experience most people want a few quid for lending theirs. I would have bought one but had nowhere to store it really. All change now though, my mate who I'm sharing a unit with has one. :) He gets my stuff and I get his, happy days.

/this is of zero help to the OP. lol

[Benn]

The one thats in my garage lifts every engine in in the south central region.
