Surely the easiest solution is for somebody to hop a train into London, get the keys and pop back? Can't take too long from Staines?
Eeeh gads!! The bloody MechEng could have done that for about £5!! Aside from failed attempts at moving the mercedes he's had nothing else to do all day! I'll find out if there's time but I think two-jack plan is about to go into operation.wombat172a said:
Hmmm not got a large HD one to play with, just a small size one.
I think I should prolly list what we've got to play with.
One guy who is a Mechanical Engineer but knows nothing about cars (only passed his test last week)
A small trolley jack
A 500kg engine hoist
A large selection of spanners and sockets
About 4 crates of Kronenburg (useful for making MechEng work)
No keys - car is in Park, handbrake is off
WD40
LM grease
Contents of kitchen (girls might dissaprove of kitchen utensil use)

Success!! A combination of three men, some lubrication and an M5 moved the merc about 2 inches. Then we decided that the gap WAS big enough so with some careful spotting and a almost trading paint on the wall to the left and merc to the right to 944 crept out!! It was all about the couple of extra inches
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
