No.That's nice but a bit extravagant just to keep the coolant in a MG

……. A tilting car lift.
Great bit of kit, get it on the car’s fulcrum and you can swing it up and down easily.

Until you come out and find the local kids using it as a see-saw

Can I ask which one you went for? I've thought of one of these before, but done nothing about it.……. A tilting car lift.

Pete, I understand your question. I have also downloaded (your?) manual uploaded to another website - thanks.
It's impossible for me to state absolutely there is no loss. Indeed, I couldn't operate the chuck "normally" before it was disassembled. I have two other mag chucks - a Ratcliffe compound sine and an eclipse AX614/1. If I use my carefully calibrated hand and arm muscles
The mag chuck was sold to me as needing attention, possibly scrap, priced accordingly. It was therefore a low risk fix and one that appears to have gone well.
You now know next time to say "no notable reduction".

It’s a Sealey PPL01. I managed to find a used one on eBay for a good price.
Raising it by the winding handle certainly gets your heart rate up but using a drill it takes just a few seconds.
I knew there'd be some comments coming my way. Anyway, top doesn't look too bad. One more pass to go.You now know next time to say "no notable reduction".

Totally opposite for me I found it a lovely job. The first couple took some time but after that I was wacking the strips in with a rubber mallet.

I don't mind doing them it's just all the clutter you have to move inside to get to them 1st!

I fear mine will have a few advisories this time as I haven't done any real work on it this yearA fresh MOT with no advisories for my Hilux Surf, not bad considering it's almost 27 years old
It even easily passed the smoke test on the first attempt, no need for multiple averaged attempts.

If my 32 yr old Lancia with over 200,000 on the clock can do it, I see nothing impressive here . . .A fresh MOT with no advisories for my Hilux Surf, not bad considering it's almost 27 years old
It even easily passed the smoke test on the first attempt, no need for multiple averaged attempts.
In fact, if anything came up, I'd be pretty annoyed with the maintenance mechanic . . . me

I only just managed it, with having to work on it outside, for months it was either stupidly hot or lashing it down. I definitely miss having a big indoor workshop!I fear mine will have a few advisories this time as I haven't done any real work on it this year

Pvc would have been much better. I was replacing knackered units in wood frames. They were bonded in with some sort of bituminous putty that was rock hard and had to be chiseled off the frame
