Spending £100 or so on labour seems like a good deal to have a car that still works afterwards 😂

I also don't have access to a driveway at the moment because I'm still a student, so it's uni car park instead, which is fine, just a little annoying since the pressure is still there to have it moved again by Monday. I'm also pretty physically weak as well - I'm used to contorting my hands into shapes an octopus would be jealous of for electronics work, but muscling things into alignment is not my forté.

It depends how easy the engine mounts are I guess. I'll watch Involvod's video on it again, and see if I'm feeling up to it. Some final questions for now:

1) Which side would you recommend I start with, right or left?
2) How much support do the engine/transmission need? I seem to remember hearing a ratchet strap around the engine is sufficient, but does the trans need supporting by a jack as well while doing this?

... in your circumstances I'd say the garage would be best.
