I went with Luis to buy his jack last year as he wasn't a member.  :smiley:

Which Jack did he buy Ian? Do costco have a few different ones?   :happy2:

I live in the same place as you  :evilgrin:


....Chris, I would check that no-one has crept in unseen and moved into your spare bedroom.

I've got this one.

http://www.workshopping.co.uk/product/trolley-jack-15tonne-aluminium-rocket-lift/RJA1500/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shop&utm_campaign=feed

I realise its a bit more than the ones you've put up. Can't fault the Sealey build quality and the twin piston rocket lift works a treat.

....That looks as if it would cope very well with very low cars (mine has only 95mm road clearance). Do you know if it does?

EDIT: Actually I've just read that its max chassis height is 145mm so I guess it wouldn't work on mine.
