    You can also get telecopic free standing step ladders. Not as cool I grant you, but you would be able to move them around the vehicle.

    You'll need the rear door ladder. Oh dear, F2 has no wheel bracket. Time to design a ladder mount for an F2 ??

    Easier to remove link arms from subframe end. Long bolt through hub rarely moves without cutting! Then beware of flexi brake hose but suspension leg pulls out enough to disconnect driveshaft from diff.

    If the engine light has lit once, there should be a code stored to read. This will direct you better than changing parts randomly.

    With 'no codes', are you sure the diagnostic equipment is correctly connecting to the LR protocol? There are few devices that read the LR correctly.

    Not yet but not used in anger. Never had worries about brakes on the F1. Check the calipers are free and slides are free as this reduces brake pad force applied.
