I thought that when I got the plate "VR" for it, that it was my initials - not knowing it stood for "Very Rusty"

Can't understand it tbh.
My wife is from Scotland, but she's not rusty underneath.
Perhaps she was summer use only.

Had a few delays and even more mind changes but no going back now. Automotech 4 post lift arrived today, fingers crossed, should fit it over the weekend. Well start it at least.

Just out of curiosity but what prompted the change from 2 post to 4 post?

Serious installation …
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Very impressive. Are you assembling it yourself?

My brain not listening to the laws of physics. Not so much with the Z but the Hanging off a land rover on a wrecking bar worries wouldn't go away and mounting a 110 on the 2 post looked a bit tricky. I might even get a 2 post some time

Mostly but some bits look a bit heavy and awkward, so my bezzy oppo Dave might have to come over for coffee. I always prefer to do things myself then I know it's done correctly, no corners cut and if it all goes pear shaped then it's no one else's fault.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the quality and fit Nick…my two lifts went together with no issues.
One thing to mention, you’ll need a C rated circuit breaker of the correct amp as B rated either trip, or the lift won’t even try to fire due to the initial voltage surge needed.

I know what you mean - it doesn't look like it should work, but I've seen X5s on 2 post lifts at my BMW Indy.Nick W wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 11:32 am Mr Tidy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 12:08 am

And the bonus of a 4 post is you'd be able to do 4 wheel alignment, although I imagine the laser kit from people like Hunter doesn't come cheap!

Thumbs up for the quality, it's not too often I feel like I got my moneys worth. It weighs more than I expected. Got promoted to granddad duties most of the day but still managed to put the bits all in the right areas and the right ways up. Not had to use Dave yet but he's an electrician so he'll sort that side out. I only did the first fix and left the thinking bit to him but the fuse on the board is C rated and its all armoured cable with 25mm swa 100amp cable for the supply, looks like overkill but should do the trick and it was left over from another job so cost nowt. As for allignments i'm making a string frame to fit on the ramp, I'd have to sell the silver to buy a Hunter kit.
