Lidl have a trolley jack on offer at the moment at £19.99 with a 3 yr warranty. Will you be able to get this under a Z4 as i measured the gap between the jacking points and the ground and it is only 120mm.
Any thoughts or advice?
 
I just bought a low profile trolley jack as a standard one won't fit under mine. According to the instructions the lowest height is 80mm. They cost a little more than the standard ones, but at least it fits.

Bought mine of eBay for about £43 delivered.
 
the lidl jack has a min saddle height of 13.5cm, so in a lowered Z you'll struggle, guess driving onto a bit of gravel board would work..

be interested in the link for the e bay low profile one please, saw one in machine mart for £36 but they're still awaiting stock.
 
I just bought this today - when I borrowed a mate's to put my winter wheels on we just drove the wheel onto a block of wood. No great hassle, so for £19.99 I just went and did it :thumbsup:
 
I had a normal trolley jack for years, even on my lowered celica and golf had no problems... But drivin on wood for the Z is a PITA.

So got a low profile pne from amazon... Something like £30.

I got one last time it was on offer. My car height is standard I believe. Fits under with a small chock of wood fine. :thumbsup:
 
I have the Costco 3 ton trolley. Little more expensive at circa £70 but it fits straight under the Zed and has twice the lift height of 2 tonne jacks. You can lift the end of the zed or one side a couple of feet up in one go. Very heavy, but really stable, similar to those used in tyre shops.
 
I just tested the Lidl jack under my car... With sport springs on mine (at least I hope there are sport springs, as it is a Sport...) I can get this jack under the rear jacking point no problem, and almost under the front. So if I take the cup off the jack it will fit the front - I have axle stands now for safety, given the lack of grip if I take the plate off. So, works for me :thumbsup:

That said, if I were to go to Eibachs I'd need a block of wood, and I am now a bit worried that my rear springs may be stock, not sport, as there is about a 15mm difference front and back. Shouldn't it be level ? And could the garage who replaced a cracked rear spring (quite some time ago before I bought it) have put the wrong one on ? :cry:
