yes lowering of he engine does help just drop the rear mount and lower it a bit on a trolley jack

4 nuts for rack to car
1 bolt rack to steering column
and hydrulic hoses

Cheers stu_22 for the reassurance. Thats just what i was going to do. I just have to clear the metal part of the pivot and i'm off. I only need to drop rear at most 2cm.
I normally use youre local scrappy at kensworth. Parts are really reasnable

I did it. What a mission but well worth it saving a few bob. Passenger side gear box mount needed lowering but it werent bad considering i've got a 2.0 xe in there.
