So..
Earlier in the year I bought a jack, through experience it turns out to be a very basic model with lifting range between 14 - 34 CM. The 34 CM proves to be not too useful really.
I absolutely hate having to buy the same thing twice, and i'm kicking myself for doing little research so need a little help from the pros here..
I think most issues will be solved from the lifting height.. but the outstanding concern is that with my current model, when it is under the diff on me estate (extended boot), I can't lever it up enough to get the jack to lift.. if that makes sense.
I am wondering if the following will help.. I really need to be able to lift from centre rear/front to be able to get left / right raised together.
This one from Halfords lifts to 50 CM, which is a significant increase, I am thinking of buying. What do people reckon? I can get for £90 with trade card.
