Dear All, my turn to ask for help :ashamed:, some would say "what again" but here goes... :eek:

I am picking up an engine Saturday morning 13th July from Enfield. I will have the engine in the back of my R5 and need to do an engine swap this weekend or next. Its a long shot but I know it can be done, with help of course. ;)

Who has an engine lift? My cheeky plan is to pop over and get some help swapping the engines over. I know time and space are is an issue for all!. So if the crane/lift folds, can I borrow it? and you?

Ideally :innocent:, I want to drive over to someone driveway/garage/workshop/front of the house and get some help from them doing the swap. Should take half a day with 2 pairs of hands but need to allow time for any hiccups! Just being honest.

So, if you can assist :sos:, I would really appreciate it and of course the help would not go unpaid (cash or beer tokens). I am tracking the car at FSC at the end of the month, hence the need to have this done. Worst case would be, I hire a lift and do the job next weekend out on the road! Needs must I guess. :brickwall:

Your sincerely,
Romil :smokin:

Romil, I have a folding crane you could borrow. Not sure I can help with the swap, 3 kids so most weekends are busy . I work near Weybridge so could drop it over to Staines for you after work later in the week. Let me know if that helps and I will dig it out the garage as it's currently buried. :agree:
