Well the time has come to put my new wheels on my car and get a decent sig put up. only 1 problem and I dont want any laughing.... I came to put my trolley jack under the car and it wont fit since I had my side skirts on!! does anyone close to me have a low level trolley jack that I could borrow for just 1 day, the car still isnt ready for driving round so I wont need 1 full time as yet, probably wont ever need 1 as Ill only have room for a get me home spray can any help would be appreciated

I havent got a scissor jack, but I doubt that would fit either, and to be honest I dont trust those fookers

Only use it to raise the car a touch so u can get the other one underneath.

 

didnt your car come with the scissor jack in the tool box?

Machine Mart do a beauty, aluminium and only about 80 quid (cant do a pound sign here in Madeira). I got side skirts as well and even the scissor jack is useless.

Just drive it through Liverpool Pete they'll soon have the old wheels off ;) :D

i drive mine onto a piece of 3x2 to get the clearence needed to get the jack under, its quite simple to do, you simply obtain wood from next doors fence (i used a hammer with a hacking motion to obtain mine), lay wood on floor, get in car, start car, engage first gear, hang ya head out of the window so you can see when you are on the wood (rev the engine a bit more as your car sounds awesome with ya head out of the window), get car onto wood, engage handbrake, get out and voila, car is up high enough to get jack under:D

If he doesnt get you one I will....thats where im going back to work;)

Right Ill try again....HAS ANYONE GOT A LOW LEVEL JACK I COULD BORROW FOR A DAY????:D

come on guys help out a fellow zedder ppplllleeeaaaasssseee

you should be able to get the jack under the rear and onto the diff and raise the rear then put stands on the rear then there will be space nearer the front to lift it up with the jack then do each front wheel separatly with the jack on each side.

Can you not do what StellaZ suggested and drive/push it onto some wood and then stick a normal trolley jack under???

No trolley stands (theyre holding up the scrapper at the moment, plus I dont think my trolley jack will go under the rear as I have a lowered rear skirt
