i keep a short plank in the boot of both, just incase this does happen . drive up onto plank, use standard jack :wink: ( JUST ) :laugh:

I've actually contimplated that! :grin: When I'm using the trolley jack I've got to drop it onto 2 blocks and drive off em!
I'd say somebody will have come across another manufacturers jack that will do the job nicely tho

You can get trolley jacks with tiny front wheels or I used to just drive up onto a plank of wood.

Just make sure you dont remove the planks at any point whilst it up, and then go full steam at letting the jack down when ur done! :embarassed: My old mk1 came out a little worse for where when i did this lol.

Running the risk of a Boooooooooooooooooooing, but, most Jap cars come with a Diamond type jack that ends up about 3" high when fully lowered. Scrap yard challenge at the weekend?!?!
