What should I grab?
Range Rover Blues:
You don't need the lift to pull out the diffs, certainly not the back one.
Take off the wheels and pull out the halfshafts, put the wheel back on and put the halfshafts in your boot :wink:
then underneath remove the diff using a big trolley jack to catch it as you pry it loose.
Front end either remove the swivles or the hubs and stub axles (you can then nick the Cv joints an half shafts) and do the same.
If it's being scrapped without the hubs then keep at least one spare stub axle each end, muck plays havoc with them in time and they don't take up much space. take a spare hub too if you can.
Basically keep anything that goes round and anything with wires coming out of it.
I'd keep the diffs over the auto box if you have to prioritise, I'd think about some spare panels if time allows especially wings, take all the lights off as you will bust one one day.
the I guess you have to weigh up the space SWMBO won't miss against how many bits you can scrounge in the time that's left to you.
If he's not charging you I'd be tempted to take what you can and get rid of bits later.

That was my first thought, but it turns out that in Japan if the engine serial number doesn't match the original registration papers, you can get into some trouble.
The other problem with taking everything in sight is that if I DON'T use it, I have to PAY to throw it away, and that could make it considerably more than free.
So if it goes round or has wires coming out of it, I'll try to hide it under the storage shed.

Possibly preaching to the converterd but remember to pack anything well in grease/oil etc to prevent tinworm. Nothing worse than getting a freebie and it being a pile of dust when you most need it! :shock:
