Don't have one of those, but do have an engine crane here:
So you do need to drop engine on that side then? I won't be doing alone anyway, Steve will be helping

Haha, tbf, he didn't actually bodge anything in case people get wrong idea.
He found problem and it has since been fixed the proper way.
Massive thanks to him tbh

Lmfao, Yeah, Saw how well you were doing so felt like ruining your oil seal while you was laid on the floor doing the hard work.
I'd offer my help too, but the only thing I'm good at is taking the piss at the moment.
Fire it up sunday?

Opps, my fault 
Just got to find an oil gallery plug.
No oil made it onto the clutch, just the back of the flywheel, all brake cleanered off.
