I hate using ramps, once had a car kind of fall off one and it got jammed underneath the engine bay. So I'd only use two at a time.
But just a personal thing.

suppose my thoughts for using 4 x ramps was keeping It level , but indeed good point with just using x 2 , plus have the pressure bleeder

So still haven’t managed to bleed my brakes but funny enough my pops treated me to some spanner’s

wished to share as to be honest never seen them before , they have a built in check valve which I thought was a great design feature , plus allowing the spanner to undo / tighten the bleed nipple without having to remove the spanner

yeh I know I need to get out more , lol

Never seen them before.

ur a true gent mate m can’t begin to say how grateful I am

have sent a PM and indeed would be amazing to get my brakes bleed plse

alas try and not let my back rule my life but sadly in these situations I’m unable to get underneath or take the wheels off

few years ago I replaced my rear upper wishbones which took me weeks , next year need to replace my rear lower arms and tie bars , had some quotes of around £1200 , but working it out if I was able to do it would be

both lower arms it’s fitting kit £350
pair of Panhard rods £80,

so all told would be around £430 and would save a good £730

so thought of trying to be clever and get a high impact wrench ( kielder impact wrench 1790Nm of breakaway torque) as that will then save me trying to pull on very tight bolts which is a big no no for me

timing belts need doing again as the 7 x year interval has come round again , alas haven’t got the knowledge to do them, quotes I’ve had are around £1400 , that’s for front and rear belts

once that’s done it will only leave to service the engine , transfer case and axles, desperately wish to drop the gearbox oil and refill it , did get 10 x litres of ATF oil for it and the new linkage bits for the gear on the gearbox , is an auto

sorry I’m waffling again , lol

million thks once again
