Hi Guys,
On our way to the North Devon final fling the flywheel oil seal finally rolled over and died after a few months of leaking (one of many oil leaks we've been chasing around). Thankfully we still made it to Woolacombe and slowly made it home again yesterday by putting in the oil faster than it came out.
So now it's in the drive waiting for us to drop the engine. Do any of you fellow crossover guys know how high I need to jack up the van to get the engine under the non-removable :evil: valance? I suppose this also depends on what you are dropping the engine onto. I was thinking of using the trolley jack, what do you guys usually use?
I've got standard axle stands but I'm worried they won't go high enough. The trolley jack is ok I think. Any other tips appreciated.
Thanks
