Anyone out there with one that can be borrowed for this Saturday?

Not for me - a colleague of mine but he's ok (I'd lend him tools no worries... and I'm choosey)

The writeup of what's wanted
===
I am swapping over a small 1.3L engine on a friends Corolla on
Saturday. I have booked a small hydraulic engine hoist from Hirepool,
but they don't have a engine leveller I could hire. You don't know of
anywhere that would have an engine leveller that I could hire for a day
do you?

The thing I am thinking of, is something like this:

It would probably only need a rating of about 120kg, if that

How about some nylon webbing slings and some strong mates with a bit of 4 x 4?

I did a swap on a Lancer using this method, and we left the gearbox on the motor(s) for extra bonus points.

I don't see why you would need one,they hang nice on a chain using the hooks already fitted.But I have what you need here,I don't think we have hardly used it.We may need it today or tomorrow as we are going to drop in a 4.2 into a MkII Jag,a tight squeeze so may need it to get the right angle.Give me a PM for details.
