Simple solution... just roll the car onto 2 blocks of wood per side, lifting the car high enough to get the jack under...

Anyone else found the scissor jack a bit of a death trap?! I use a normal trolley jack and that works absolutely fine. My friends VR lowered 60mm also was ok with it.

just approx to see if its lower than when the wheel is supposed to lift, either your jacks f**ked or your suspension is!

It could be that the jack arm doesn't go high enough, my mate has one that is pretty damn useless like that, gave me the same problem. I've got a reasonable size one from Halfords now and it's fine.

Scissor jacks are ok if used correctly. No more or less dangerous than the average bottle jack. Just don't rely on it if you intend to get under the car. The same for any jack.
