Morning
I need to put my car in my garage but the cambelt snapped and the garage is at the top of a steep driveway. Does anyone know if you can hire winches? Or even better does someone have one that I could borrow? There is a car in the garage already so I would be able to attach a winch to that but I am not able to tow the car up the drive with it. Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance

Probably but the drive in slippery due to it being concrete and wet with leaves
I had considered that though

Oh b*llocks I just re read it and the power winch only does up to half tonne
I guess I need something stronger
Any idea how much a lancia integrale weighs in tonnes?
