The only real hassle will be lifting the car up from totally flat. Whilst it's likely to be easier to get the rear end jacked first [ there's higher hard points especially if there's a towbar] as you lift the rear first the nose actually pivots the front overhang lower to the floor...

All great fun!!

So you're not geting another V6...?

I have got an airbag jack that you inflate from a cars exhaust.

Draper thing from halfords, £40, one you slide under the car and inflate from flat. Works a treat on the breaker i have at home!!

It's a V6 that i am collecting :)

I could have done with this info 20 years ago!

I trailored 2 dead DS's to Yorkshire from the West Mids and struggled my b***s off getting them on the trailor! :oops:

The guy in Wrexham? He does sound like a decent fella - When I get myself sorted out at this end I'm hoping to get the extra exhaust system he's got.

I recon a manula V6 is definitely the way to go, autos are too much hard work and heartache.

Please keep everyone posted on your new purchase!

All the best, Andrew
