Had a quick look today on the M but drew a blank tbh. Is it through the boot or....?

Any quick responses most appreciated. :thumbsup:

You have to be small & supple to fit into the boot, and also have arms like an orangutan to reach into the abyss that fills with water to recover the sodden motor :thumbsup:

Cheers Rob, I thought as much.... :roll:
 
Yes I did mine in the black z and it took a good few hours of laying in the boot with your arm in a deep hole trying to cut and break off the holding clips/tiewraps.
Give us a shout if you need me to go through it with you show you what I did.

Since when were you fit enough to crawl into the boot? :o

And don't forget the greater level of fitness required to crawl OUT again.
I'd take a mobile in there with you :poke: :D
 
Vision of John in the boot, boot closed, car lift at its highest position and his wife locking the garage up :evil:

I did, I had to explain to her how to break the roof motor so you could have (another) accident ... 8)

Don't forget to get your lad to take photos of you with ya legs hanging out the boot and your head upside down.
I suggest you practice peeling an orange one handed through the letter box first :rofl:
Oh and don't call me this weekend, I'm away at Darley moor for race weekend.
