O lovely, wet belt too.
I just did the son in-law Ranger's head gasket, in place.
Pig of a job and a ridiculous amount of stuff to unscrew with awkward fixings everywhere.
Just the job for the mature home mechanic.
Body off for only a head gasket?

That's what I thought. Ridiculous design, what the hell were they thinking?
Is it though - a hand full of fasteners from cab to frame, unplug wiring loom, disconnect steering etc, and lift away for fantastic access?
That’s an unbelievable amount of work.
I guess it encourages most people to take them to a garage for repair.

Then when the car's a few years old, a blown head gasket could write the car off as too expensive to repair

I saw a two post lift online that had 2 sets of arms, one on the outer side of the posts and the other on the inside like a normal two poster , specially made for lifting bodies off of chassis’s while still being able to raise or lower the chassis. Probably perfect for Range Rover brake pipes?

My neighbour’s 2014 Ranger has been written off sub 100kms, needs engine replacing but best quote was €18,000
