Bit more of a fiddle if the car's still got abs imo, messing with the belts etc......i'd happily give someone £100 to do the job, not one of my favourite jobs to do without a ramp!

Can you seriously do it with the roll bar still attached? I've done it tens of times but always disconnected it from the front (so it drops to the floor but isn't actually removed as such) as i thought it would get in the way
