The jack in a car is only ever supposed to be used for quick wheel changes! Who does work with their car using one  :shocked:


Someone who doesn't know?

and that donut was me  :angry:

No need to be perfect, even my mum knows a jack that comes with the car is dangerous to use for too long!

Im sure someone did but i didnt.

Even a trolley jack should not be used to hold the car up though, axle stands are a must!

I would never go under a car with just a jack, the guy is lucky he wasnt injured. £500 is not very much if you think about how bad it could have been!

Not saying £500 is not a lot of money mate, but your life is worth a lot more!
