Cheers Bob. I had it easy when at Renault so i've just stopped being a pussy and put up with the cold. Not a fan of using axel stands and rolling about on the floor but needs must.

To used to the luxury of a ramp i guess. I have done my time with stands though fixing old fords!

Gotta wait a while before i can ask to use the ramps at the new place but im sure it will be cool soon enough.

Looks an awesome project, look forward to seeing in Guildford soon!!

I was planning a ring trip in June time so would be very interested in tagging along. My engine will be quivering with trepidation as it snapped a rocker arm last time it was there :twisted:
