Car jacks

[rolex]

Anyone bought a car jack for their t350 for changing brakepads or bulbs in the front light clusters ect With only 100mm ground clearance can you buy a jack that small?

I bought one from Halfords last year, one of those piston jobbies. Didn't fit under the bodywork so it went back!

But, whilst having a puncture repaired at Q-Fit, they used a trolley jack with no problems. I'm not sure if it was an ultra low one or not.


If anyone can post some piccies of the best jacking points on the chassis, that would be great.

Tricky one. This is the lowest that I could find www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=020110270&r=2047&g=107 and you could always use a couple of lengths of 6"x1" with a bevel (and cloth stapled to the underside sicking out at the bevel end to prevent the wood from moving whilst you drive on) to raise the car up an extra 20mm.

Hi,

I have a small 2.5t jack and a 10t jack and they both fit under the Tamora.

I bought a Trolley Jack from Machine Mart (www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=020110270&r=2047&g=107). Model CTJ2LR, lifts from 110mm, which is fine for the Griff. Costs £30
