I'll need to look into these wheel steps, I've not come across them. I do raise the bonnet against the windscreen, I started doing that after about the tenth time I cracked my bounce on the bonnet latch

Alternatively, stand on a box.

Thanks for the link Speckydude. Unfortunately, I'm a bit forgetful. More than once I have tried to ride away on my motorbike with a wheel lock still attached. I can't help thinking I would do the same if I had a wheel step and with the noise and vibration my landy generates, I could go for miles before I noticed.

I usually use an old spare wheel to stand on

As mentioned earlier, it's the only useful thing about freewheeling hubs
Perfect piece of advice - we should always take every opportunity to put on our white Cuban heels even if we're just fixing Land Rovers

Not unless we're not old enough to own or remember them, will the wifes high heels do? Obviously I have no idea if they'd fit

I'm only 5'4" so I balance nicely on the wings. I do fear though that if I fell into the engine bay I might not get out again.
I have to be careful where I park it as any deep ruts under the drivers door lead to an inelegant exit.

Especially when there is a spare wheel mounted on them !
Sooner or later everyone realises the perfect form of the Cuban heel no matter how old or youngNot unless we're not old enough to own or remember them, will the wifes high heels do? Obviously I have no idea if they'd fit

Currently both wings are in the shed along with the bonnet and the bulkhead, the engine is undercover on the drive and the chassis is leaning against the neighbours fence so access to the engine bay is quite good with or without anything to stand on

Elegant exits are rare in my case, having both bucket seats and 20 stone to eject. I find something between a squeeze and a lunge usually find me on the tarmac, with or without my trousers.

i open the bonnet all the way up to the windscreen and use a piece of dressing timber to hold it up so the wind dont catch it, and use the bumperbar as a step and sit on the mudguard with one foot on the chassis and the other at the front spring hangar chassis section and you can get easy access to what you need, but its only good for stuff on the passengers side to centre of the engine bay, but what i use is a step say as people say for a motorhome or caravan and i rest it up to the wheel or mudguard and that way it wont tip forward.
