LOl tbh I didn't look in Haynes, they make removing the engine sound much harder, by saying it's a 4 spanner job and unclear grey pics! Just looked at what held the front end on then it just fell out basically! Hoping for a nice day tomorrow to rent an engine crane!

DON'T FORGET!

The front crossmember, which supports the front engine mount, has 3 bolts on each side. The front & rear bolts secure the bumper irons. These will need to be removed to take off the bumper. The middle bolts on each side secure the crossmember to the car, so DO NOT remove unless you have the engine supported!


I don't think a semi will give the same results
