You could phone HSS to see if they have one - but as they close (Camberley) in about 1 minute time, until Tuesday, that's that kinda scuppered.

Roll it onto a couple of boards then put the jack under.
Or try machine mart http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/...

Costco usually has that jack for about £60.

Here's the thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... but I suppose it depends on how often they get them in.

I have same problem but jacking point is 3 ft behind the front spoiler so I had to roll the car onto a 10x2 board on another 10x2 [ with a champhered end] to
raise the front by 4" total, works great.

In Jaguar enthusiasts club magazine, there is an advert for new mobile 4 poster ramps that will take 3.5 tons.£1500 You just set it on level ground and the 240volt motor will raise the whole car safely 7 ft into the air.Then put it away after use.If interested I will did it out.

They had very similar Alu race / lightweight jacks to mine when I was last at the Reading Costco if that helps.

I've just taken delivery of one of the CostCo jacks. Fantastic piece of kit and perfect for low slung vehicles. Entry height is advertised at 89mm - I have no reason to doubt that; and the trolley length is good too. Not sure it would stretch three feet under before lifting though!!

hopefully i will get in there tomorrow to pick one up

[Kinky]

Alex,

Did you get there?

I've been there this afternoon and they had a few left.
