Having gone down the route I am sure most of the people on here have, trying to fit a jack under the car, driving it on to bits of wood to raise it, or up the curb for the same effect, I went to halfords the other day and bought an inflatable jack (stop laughing) and to my surprise it worked a treat.

 

Its basically a cylindrical bag, which you blow up using the exhaust pipe. Goes under the car flat as a pancake and when full (book says 50sec, but I got impatient and revvved the engine) it lifts up to 3 tonnes at a height of 21 inches. 45 of your best english pounds at a halfords near you.:cool:

F*ck me!! I've heard of bouncy castles....but bouncy Z's!!:D :D

Keep the cats away from that then!!!!

 

One claw and goodnight Irene.

 

 

Seriously though:

 

Presumably its tough stuff - sounds interesting!!!!!!!

Yeah, but you have to take your shoes off first!!:D :D ;)

LOL @ fat tony :D:D:D:D:D

Why did you have to take your shoes off? As if any one will go to a bouncy castle with football boots, running spikes or stiletoes

How do you empty it afterwards? My advice is to suck all those exhaust fumes out back through the tube :p

Imagine you wanted to get under the car to see why the car wouldnt start. That would make it difficult to jack it up!!!!!

Can you have it on when you do your emissons tests for your MOT. It should half the amount of gas in the air ;)

 

Stuart

a) dont have cats (not even starting that argument again)

 

b) very tuff, not unlike the waterproof duffel bags you used to get for bikes, a rubberised material

 

c) you (slowly) unscrew the attachment to release it (it does say about ventilation)

 

d) Who goes under a car to see why it wont start? all the electrics are on top and you can see the starter motor from having the car on the ground:confused:

 

Any of you boys who wear high heels will have to buy your own bouncy castles:p
