Jacking

[Bombardino]

I drive one wheel onto one of these /www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-LAS5669-Low-Rise ... th=1&psc=1

The front and rear central jacking points are then accessible with a low profile jack.

I stopped jacking up for jobs under the car as soon as ai found a ‘DHZ’ (diy) garage close to me.
Quite a common concept here in Holland whereby you can rent a lift by the half hour.

Will be using it again at the next oil service to swap in a new oil level sensor.

Nothing like that over in the UK?

Was great in the RAF. Every station had a motor club with just about every tool known to man. Usually cost about a tenner a year for membership.
I miss that.

I use wood ramp to get my car on to the metal 'drive on wheel ramps' I bought at an auction. No jacks to collapse or axle stands to fail or jacks on bodywork.
