evilscorp Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Went to use my car sissor jack and its hitting my sideskirts again had cut-out shapes at the jacking points but its the width thats the problem now(think I just went for it before and hum'd out the creaking) so desided to buy a trolley jack, going to see the halfords one 2day as its only £30 but dont think it will fit under 14cm and my skirt is 12cm so will probably buy this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Liftmaster-Mult ... 068&sr=8-6 Costs more but looks like it will fit under my car anyone try it or have a review of a good one.

Harman350z Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have the Halfords advanced black trolley jack and its brilliant, it fits under my car only just at 120mm, i think it brushes the rear end of the skirt. but there is a part you can take off the jack which gives you an extra 10mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that exact one myself recently. Only used it a few times so far but it's great, no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have a jack from Costco. It cost around 120quid. It's very low entry and even fits under my car which is dropped loads and loads. I'm sure it was going on special a while back and someone posted up on here. It really is a brilliant bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 cheers guys for your suggestions but the Liftmaster one has a 360* handle which is what I need as my garage is very small/tight so would need to stand at 90* to the jack to operate it.

marzman Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I paid £12.99 for my trolley jack from a local motor factors about 8 years ago. Does the job brilliantly. It's not the lowest, but i just drive onto a block of wood to get it under the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
