Wondered about disconnecting the steering arm, lowering the vehicle so that the underside of the joint came down to just rest on a block and a suitable socket, removing the circip and then jacking the vehicle off the top of it. Where is the flaw in the cunning plan? Dealer will charge £50 per hour so I'd prefer to remain out of their clutches!
