Last checks before you lift

Ideally when you have reached this stage the only things left to undo are the engine and gearbox mounts.

Take your time – walk around the engine bay – and look for anything that should be disconnected to allow the engine and gearbox to be lifted. Crawl underneath and check there too – especially where the engine bay gets narrow towards the cabin. Now is the time to find that wire or pipe – not when you hear it twang or snap when you lift the engine free from the car.
