Rickpercy87 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Mine is terrible. It doesn't lift the car high enough to get my axle stands underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I bought an RAC trolley jack from Argos. Came with wheel chocks and axle stands too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 If you have a Costco near you they pretty much always have low rise trolley jacks in stock. They're ideal for lowered cars but will still lift high enough to be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpercy87 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'll check both of these out. Don't mind paying a bit for a good jack. Those bottle jacks any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit Girl Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) i have one of the Costco alloy trolley jacks and although it is not especially cheap it is really good - light, strong, stable, goes under the Lupo without any problem and is also high lift.

Mrcherrywood Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Just got myself the Halfrauds Low Profile one and its perfect from my slammed Arosa ... i was fed up with having to roll onto Wood Blocks before i could get a standard Trolley under.

truCido Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 These are great: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLARKE-1-25T-ALUMINIUM-LOW-ENTRY-RACING-TROLLEY-JACK-/161122713926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2583a98146I think it might actually be the same one that they sell in Costco. I didn't pay that much for mine though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Probably a stupid question but does the GTi come with a jack or just the compressor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 No jack. Comprewsor and gunk. Gunk has a use by date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 OK great. I wasn't sure if new car was missing a jack It has the compressor and gunk although I need to check the date on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpercy87 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I ended up getting this from costco, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Car-Trolley-Jack-Quick-Lift-1-8-Ton-Arcan-Low-Entry-Aluminium-/171134743463I need a bloody jack to lift this thing! It soooo heavy. Looks very durable though and could probably flip my car on full lift lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Holy **** £140?!!My jack was given to be my dad, it's now about 45 years old... I think it's about ready to die but it refuses to give in!! Still, I wouldn't ever put my head under without ramps/axle stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
