I managed to get an xe in a nova, and I can't even fit a sun strip...
that was the plan engine crane one side and jack the other side, the jack sliped and the engine swinged in to the side of the engine bay nearly knocked the car off the axle stands
so I won't be doing like that again, now I've walked away from it know what I need to do, loop the left side next inlet manifold to the right hand side of the exhaust manifold, do the same on the olds side of them so it forms a cross the lift it from the middle, simple really but couldn't get my head around how do it after it pissed me off

if you are short of slings. use fan belts and timing belts. get a handful of good shackles though. cross sling a belt between the OE lifting lugs and put the hoist across the middle of it.
alternatively you can buy a 'spreader bar' pretty cheaply which is like a bar with 2 hoist points and the center point can be adjusted side to side with a handle as it moves the CoG across on a piece of screwed rod.
makes it an easy one man job.
Finding out the HS2 plans run within 400 yards of my front door. And straight through my uncles farm. Fanks government.
It'll be elevated as well, to clear an existing local line half a mile away and a dual carriageway, so it's not like it'll be discreet.
TJ. Get yourself a pallet or 2 and get the engine and box on that level and at the height it would be when in the car. Then use the engine crane to lift the car over the top and down onto it. Bolt the engine in and the jack the car up (or lift it with the engine crane) to remove the pallet.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Spudly again. :(Quote:

Yeah compensations apparently going to be awarded as and when, but nobody knows for the next five years, so were locked into an unsellable house until they decide to build it, or buy the house.
Add to the fact compo is usually paid out late on, it means living through the building of the elevated line, which will no doubt take a few years at least.
Messers on that fukking ridiculous forum.

Old woman that works in the local spar does this song and dance every day of the week, I went in the other day and she asked " did you get a haircut?" she has yet to be told mind her own bastid business simply because she's old and is just trying to be friendly!
Hell is other people.
Not sure about other forecourts but I'm pretty certain Shell counter staff are on commission for shifting the crap on the counter.
Tell them you just found what you think to be a Roman Villa on your land, slap bang where the line is supposed to go. That should put a spanner in the works lolQuote:
