Space to work on the Cerb
Discussion
I've been looking for quite a while to find a space suitable to work on the Cerbera as I need to fetch the engine out and I want to tackle a couple of other jobs.
Firstly, does anyone have a corner of a workshop / know of someone who has, within the Midlands that I could rent?
A 'normal' 8ft garage won't be big enough I'm sure, since I can't even get in/out of the car in one (I've tried) but I can't find a large garage, double garage, workshop, industrial unit, barn, warehouse, shed, sheltered space or covered car park suitable for me to do this in.
Has anybody managed to remove the engine in a tight space or does anybody have any other suggestions?

I'll have to digest that for all of its contents tonight, thanks.
The main thing I'm after is dryness, with light. Rolling around on a wet floor in the cold as it gets dark every 4th sunday when it's finally not raining isn't my idea of productive.
Don't suppose anyone is willing to go halves on a unit in the middle of England-ish?

Shame as I'd go halves on something but thats a bit too far. My single garage is the missus dumping ground every time the tiv comes out to play, so its painful to work in. I do know a guy (mechanic) in Wolverhampton who has a garage and may be able to allocate some space...he might not of course but may be worth a shout, if you want me to ask let me know.
Likewise if anyone knows of anything suitable around Essex I'd be interested.

In my experience you need to live near the workspace, very near. Otherwise there will always be a reason not to tackle the next seemingly trivial, but rather time consuming job.
You need to option to pop over to check/measure/photograph the latest issue you need to fix, and if that takes more that a few minutes things will become very difficult indeed.
