As above guys, after a low profile trolley jack that will fit under my 3.0 Sport Cab (2003). Scissor jack went in the bin as it twisted ages ago (Im guessing it was a crappy aftermarket one) and my usual 2t trolley jack just doesnt fit under the car by about 2 or 3cm :zx11:

Hi,

As an alternative try these folks:

Trolley Jack: Car Trolley Jacks, Low Profile, Aluminium, High Lift UK (https://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/trolley-jacks)

Loads of good reviews on various forums.

Andy.

Yes agreed Andy. The only problem with that one (I considered it) is that it does not have the very flat round hard rubber pad that is essential for raising audi's that have the jacking point as part of the cill.
