1.25 ton payload? Not sure I'd trust it to lift a Z.

thanks graham, 79mm would be low enough for our cars i should think

yea its not much but get it up then block it,like the rubber pads aswell :)

Yeah, it's good as a start point I guess. Certainly get some height before wacking in a more sturdy one. :)

Doubt it will go in far enough to get under the front crossmember. I have a similar jack which I paid around £65 for but it will lift 3 tonnes.

plus its gotta be better than the excuse for a jack you get in the spare wheel kit

Exactly....that thing's laughable...to think I used that for a time as well...with lots of padding of course! :x: DOH!

79mm just a tad over 3"

It's not the height, that Paul is refering to, it's the reach that also matters. If you can't use the handle when it's in place, then it's useless!

just make a little wooden ramp about an inch and half or 2inch high and drive car onto it then can get a jack under and it can be kept in the boot

costco used to do a fekking ace one with axle stands for about 70 quid. not looked for a while though

To be truthful guys, you are better off building the wooden ramps talked about in a thread a while ago, if you have the room to store them.

I drive onto 2 planks per side stepped, then place jack under the front x member, jack up and put railway sleepers under, lower jack. Car sits nicely on the sleepers also if done at both ends of the car its ideal for working underneath, sleepers cost me £25 each and I cut each one into quaters.

Rear of car is on 2 railway sleepers and front is on a sleeper each side and axle stands, I think I was messing with front brakes?

 

I was refering to the reach of the jack I know we have had this one out before, but I ended up buying one anyway lol. just found the thread........

I see where you're coming from ;) Yes mine is scrapped on the jack lifting points as well.... I must do something about it.
