I am in desperate need of an engine hoist for 2 days as soon as possible.(hoist with legs and extendable lift arm etc not the gantry type ones)

I am in the middle of rebuilding my tvr cerbera and ive put the engine in to find i have an oil feed problem to one of the cams.

I need to pull the engine back out to remove the heads etc. the engine is ready to come out I just dont have a hoist anymore as the previous one had to go back to its owner for another job.

If anyone has one or knows someone with one that wouldn't mind lending it to me for 2 days max, I would really appreciate it. I know uou can hire them but I have no funds available at the moment as i've had to fork out for a load of things from this months pay. it will be kept in a garage at all times as the car is in there. the garage is very secure with roller shutters and padlocked from inside. with a metal door for garden acccess.

I will give something to the lender as a token of good will. I can collect the hoist or you can deliver it so you know where I live (for security so you can smash my windows etc if you thought I may pull a fast one , which i would not) if i pick it up i will bring my drivers licence and utility bill to prove where i live for security etc.

If some one can help me please email me or ring me on 07989963075 (shayne). I need the car ready for paint by the weekend and im rushing like mad so anyone willing to lend or ask a mate to lend a hoist will be appreciated very much.

I'm in kenfig hill/pyle but will pick up from cardiff/ swansea/ bridgend/ within 25/30 miles. hope someone can help

You could have borrowed mine but its at a friends and he has gone away and locked it in his garage frown I had to use the bobcat to lift mine with this weekend!
