Ok, I knew there'd be at least one stroke of genius in the replies to this post, and if I owned a set of ramps I would try it.

Unfortunately I use jackstands, not ramps, and unless I actually have to get a wheel off the ground, I seldom bother raising the vehicle at all, it's one of the advantages of being built like a piece of string. I think the wheel ramp idea would look pretty impressive in a supermarket carpark, I must do it sometime.

I haven't looked at what it's done to the flywheel yet, I'm not sure I want to as I hate seeing good machinery damaged (especially if I own it) It's no big headache if it is a big worn though, because the whole engine has to come out at some point for a bottom end rebuild, so a damaged flywheel need not be the end of the world.

So much to learn, so little spare brain to put it all in. I'd never even changed a spark plug when I got this car.
