Propshaft problem
speedyxjs - 7/8/07 at 06:18 PM

I thought id have a go at taking out the propshaft on my car today ready for the engine trial fit. When i started to read the haynes manual for my donor at all looked so easy but when you're under there its not as easy as it seemed for someone who doesn't really have a clue, so when i went to pick up my other jag from the garage (after her MOT) i asked about getting one of their mechanics out to do it for me.
I was told that for it to be done it would have to go on a ramp as parts of the exhaust needs removing, which is ok but my car hasn't been roadworthy for about 2 years, has no drivers seat, steering wheel, battery, radiator and many other 'essensial' items.
Anyone have any ideas?

Few mates round, roll it over, take off what you need, roll it back.
