Joti Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Halfords were doing one called "Big Red" or something like that for £40 - it's a 2T trolley jack and you get a pair of axle stands thrown in.I bought one, but it's still in it's box - got good reviews on their website though......http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_817643_langId_-1_categoryId_255207 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 That looks pretty good nice one.Found a disadvantage to having such a distinctive car this morning - was late for work and got rumbled by the boss as I drove past him as he was walking in, he said he thought "I know those wheels..."

Koop Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 We'll just crank it up enough with the scissor jack to get yours under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Those jacks are ****ing crap, did the same on mine, slipped out on the smooth floor and put a wacking great slice through the sill, luckily i was painting it at the time. i panic every time i use it now but its a must just to get the normal jack under it. i was thinking of welding a bigger square plate to the bottom of the scissor jack so its more stable!
