years ago I managed to dig a hole for myself when 'Santa' drank his sherry, ate his mince pie and then like a fool put the glass & plate in the kitchen by the sink!! DOH! Talk about thinking on your feet.

You have your legs in the engine bay resting on the antiroll bar....coz with the inlet ducting removed theres a good 50cm space inbetween the radiator and the block.:-/ I've never tied it but I think I'll continue to satnd up & lean in.

you have to sit on the slam panels to work on the bits at the back ....
:-? How does that work? You're either sat with your back to the engine or you have your legs dangling inside the engine bay. I'm not quite sure how you would do either! :-?
