Engine stand or crane.
Has anyone got an engine stand or crane that I can borrow. I am in the process of doing an engine transplant on one of my TDs.
I am reluctant to buy one for this one off job so if anyone can help - great.
Geographically from my base in Oxford I can pickup from, say, a 150 mile radius.

The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

Might be cheaper to hire one for the weekend if no-one close by has one handy? I use a forklift truck these days! You're welcome to borrow that, but it does 15mph tops, and has naff all suspension!
Oh, I haven't forgotten your trim mate, the road to the farm is now re-open so I'll pop one in the post asap for ya.

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Billys crane is currently at our house!
Tomorrow it will be in use whilst shoving a gearbox back into Monica!!!!
Should only be needed until weekend, then I'll be dropping it back in at Billys probably during next week!
Still a bloody long way from Oxford mate, when you only came up last week anyway!!!

god i remember the days of a cahin block and a rafter in the roof, then again the parents garage is built rather well
i can also get chain blocks twice a year for £5 each from a local friendly industrial engineering place, they are only allowed to kee them for like 4 years then they have to be disposed of, usually weighed in, so you might want to ask around if you have something to hang off, much cheaper than an engine crane!
