Julia took the Rav for an MOT today and unfortunately it failed on one tyre having a deep cut on the inside wall.

 

Bloody bad luck as it would be a decent tyre, and not the one that will need replacing very soon......

 

....anyway I thought I'd swap it for the spare, just for the MOT, and buy a new one over the weekend. However the damn OEM jack does not extend high enough to get the fooking wheel off the ground:huh:

 

Luckily I found out now, rather than in the event she gets a puncture at some stage.......:blink:

:lol::lol: thats rather unlucky! and I guess its still standard road height/tyres?

 

 

I've still got my hi-lift farm jack left over from my off roading days over winter, that'll lift it 3ft off the floor with a few pumps lol :thumbup:

Hi Baz - yes, completely stock!

 

And to piss me off even more.....

 

.....I went inside after 2 attempts (and it had started to rain BTW) only to find the whole village was suffering from a blasted power cut:thumbdown:

 

So I had to cook (gas - fortunately) by candlelight.

 

It's come back on now though - otherwise I wouldn't be here 'coz the router would not work LOL:tt2:

 

I reckon I'll just pop into the garage again tomorrow and ask them to swap the spare over, then do the free re-test!
