jacking the car up to work on it

[William]

Silly question I know, but can anyone recommend a good trolley jack - most of the ones i have looked at have a minimum height of 14cm which Im fairly sure is too high to get under the body kit and on to the jacking points of my motorsport. any ideas?

[bigdek]

i just jack the car up a little with the standard bmw jack until i can get my trolley jack under

[m-dtech]

use the standard jack then the trolley jack after..

Drive the car onto a couple of blocks of wood first.

yeah i spose that was a bit of a silly question really. to get properly under the back end has anyone got those metal wedges that you drive up on top of? if so what's the proper name for them and where can I get them?

They're called ramps and you get them at halfrauds or most other motor factors. You might need them modifying thou to clear your bodywork if it's lowered.

thanks, sorry for the ignorance, pretty elementary stuff

Just re-read you're post. You might get on better asking in halfrauds for a set of "metal wedges that you drive on to" as that is nearer to their staff's knowledge of "car talk" imo! No offence to you of course!
