Have a look under the car, there are little knobs that come down just behind the suspension set up on the floorpan. They fut the jack cup into them just nicely.

my day just gets better and better!
Went to Halfords, gets a bargain trolley jack.
Gets to my Mum and Dads house, for the drive space.
Gets the new jack out, rolls it under the car.
erm...did i say rolled it under the car? erm NOT because the bleeding thing wont fit under the car!
either my car is seriously low, or the jack it a tall one. its about 15mm to high.
I only have 50mm drop springs on.
Its more the standard side skirts that stop it rather than the floorpan, either way, its a no go!
has anyone else had this problem?
