Not neccesary at all, you could use ramps if you prefer.

I use a trolley jack to lift the whole rear end onto axle stands, simply because I dont have any ramps.

Whatever you do, dont get under the car if its just supported on a jack.

Excellent, now all we need is the weather...

I'll bring along:

A trolley jack of pathetic proportions that fits in the back of my car,
A set of axle stands,
A drill and several drill bits,
Taps and dies, to re-cut any damaged threads.
high temperature grease
High temperature anti sieze compound.
General Tookit.

Anything I dont have, Mark will have in his garage, so its unlikely anyone will need to bring thier own tools.

One thing everyone will need is new gaskets. The part number and price is in my original post from when I gutted my cats.

Anyone of a sensitive dispostion should be aware that I'm an engineer. As such any F, B or C words (or indeed any combination of F's, B's, C's plus others you probably wont have heard before) you hear uttered from beneath your car are in fact very technical engineering terms, and not the common or garden olde english vulgarities you might hear in the more un-savoury pubs of the area...  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

My boss isn't around right now to ask about the 14th, but I really don't envisage it being a problem, so put me down as a 99% defo.

I shall look into getting the gasket ASAP ready for the day and will look forward to it.

And don't worry about the expletives either. I am a scientist and if you work in an envirnment where 99 times out of 100 NOTHING WORKS, you get to hear the best of the Queens language, I can tell you. I may have to just join you in a rant in frustration!!!

Cheers guys. This is going to take a lot off my mind...........

Will PM about directions nearer the time.........

And I work in IT so no problem with expletives there!  Yep I'm back online!! Decided that allowing the whole of the Education network to be able to access Match making sites was far less of a problem than me not being able to join in on this conversation!   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

The 14th is fine with me as Liz says and I REALLY do appreciate it.  Should I bring anything apart from loads of moral support, praise and encouragement?  oh yeah and beer and cake   s:) :) s:)

Liz, you of all people should know how to use the search button by now...  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

You need a pair of Manifold to main cat gaskets, held in stock by most main dealers, £5.22 for a pair.

One other thing...

Not only will I be requiring refreshing beverages delivered to me throughout the day, as well as unquestioning sympathy every time I graze a knuckle, and compulsory wearing of very short skirts for all ladies present  s:wink: :wink: s:wink: , (Well, there has to be some incentive to spend half the day lying on a very-very uncomfortable gravel driveway!) I would like to politely request that if any of you wish to express your gratitiude for works carried out you do so by making a donation to the club. If you dont like the sound of that, blame MR Mike, it was his idea!!!!

I will bring an exercise mat for you to lay down on, that will save your back!!

As for short skirts, cellulite is an ugly word!

I will put another donation into the club for sure, more than worth it!

I can wear a short skirt if you like? Comedy value and bring a light hearted moment to what is a most serious situation.................  s:( :( s:(    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

Already donated, but will be MORE than willing to donate again for this mate. Not a problem. I was going to ask you personally if you wanted anything for it anyway cos its a big job and I thought it only fair (me being so crap and all..............  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  ). If you are willing for the donation to go to the club, then fair enough, but I am more than willing to make a donation directly to your good self if you like?

Right, will look into getting the gaskets later. Cheers for posting that again. Saves me that extra click on the search button and me using energy to move my wrist that one more time........  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
