Go under the car armed with a very long extension bar and a 13mm socket and disconnect the exhaust pipes from the manifold.

Next disconnect the top hoses from the thermostat and the bottom heater hose from the lower radiator. Keep the jubilee clips. Also disconnect the Gear Box oil cooler pipes. Use a 17 and 19mm open ended spanner.
