Ok, so after it sitting on the floor in it's box for the best part of the week, I decided that today was the day to get the Zed on it..
Got a good deal on it, they were advertised on Ebay for £1,200 odd plus £160 for next day delivery (ouch) but then it does weigh 450kg...
Got my neighbour to pick it up, he paid and the price was £1,100.
Unboxed it and fitted the castors to move it around, it moves surprisingly easy with them on it, although you can't lift a car with them on it, they are purely for moving it around. You can also hook the lug on the power pack trolley under the front to move it, but it is cumbersome if the castors aren't fitted.
As my car has M Sport suspension, it was VERY close to the ramp, so I decided to grab a couple of scaffold planks to run it on to, and the Zed will now be parked on them over the lift in the garage.
So....
Nice and snug, can still get the door up and down, that's 2 "clicks" of the safety lock short of fully extended, about another 200mm to go. It's not as close as it looks to the screen and bonnet, camera angle makes it look much closer.
Lowered it down to a nice height to do the rear hubupper and lower bushes as I've had them for a few weeks but not gotten round to it.. Bloody Euro had sent me the inners, FFS....
Ah well, left it up there and came to work in the van.
I am impressed though, it is VERY sturdy.
