I think I'm gonna have a go at doing the clutch on the disco so could do with borrowing an engine hoist (for beer monies of course)

Can anyone help out?

What does a Disco engine actually weigh? I'm wondering if a 1 ton crane would have the reach.

Unless you plan on removing the tunnel you'd be better off with a cradle I think

My hoist has a SWL of 250kgs which is used when I did my discovery clutch . Held it no probs. reckon discovery Tfr box and gearbox probably weigh about 70kgs ish. . it's the connection from the hoist to the box that I would scrutinise. How you set up strops or where you attach chains to

removing engine or dropping box?
i have a loanable hoist if needed, alternatively, a shop with 4 poster if you want to drop the box.
assistance if needed if you do it in the shop.

You're miles away, but I'm going to take photos of my hoist (machine mart jobby) and get it up for sale soon.

If you wanted to buy a s/h one, and could get the landy courier services on the case...? (Glastonbury, Somerset)

Just a thought...
