Title: Low Entry Trolley Jack
Post by: nick_thomas on 11 October 2009, 22:05

I'm after a low profile/entry trolley jack for the Mk3, coilovers are lovely until you want to get the sodding thing off the floor  :sad:

Like everyone I want it for as little as possible, cheapest I've seen is a Michelin one for £150.

Thanks in advance.
