Very close....gearbox swap is due imminently, unfortunately we are off on hols end of this week and couldn't get it booked in beforehand....so I am dropping the gearbox fluid and renewing before we go away....the box is then coming out shortly after that!

So, close but no cigar...

Not cleaning the underside with a toothbrush then ??

Can be, in low she crawls up with a slight tickle on the accelerator, just need to feel the right place to stop

I cheated and used garden sleepers and doubled them up as my ramps looked a little light duty, that's the chicken part of my name

Best of luck Ant.
What did you go for in the end (sorry if you have said before, I have been away)

Regards.

It was just an oil change this time, box swap will be after the hols.

And why is it that even though I have done this a few times now, I always burn my arm on the exhaust no matter how careful I am?

Is that why you are called lucky Ant?

Dunno if it's just my eyes or the photo.. but those ramps look a bit... on the small/lightweight side for a RR?

Appreciate your concerns, they are 'originally' designed for 2.5 tonne a pair (1.25tonne each) https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/car-ramps-crw25 and I have welded in additional supports to beef them up further!

If there was any 'question' of their safety, trust me I wouldn't go under the car!
