For the price and obviously depending on frequency of use, surely this is a great buy for occasional use...

I think you might struggle with the size of jack
lifting pad too small lifting height not enough I think your regret buying the smaller jack I would go Halfords advanced jack 3t ( black one ) and advanced axle stands ( black ones ) , but are more money I know |

Okay thanks for that, so another way would be
4 Tonne Bottle Jack with the Advanced 3 Tonne Ratchet Axle Stands Does this sound a better alternative? 2.2 2012 110 utility Orkney Grey Also Range Rover Evoque - Surprising but I like it. Previous Freelander 2 SD4 HSE - Black 90 TD5 Discovery 3 Early Discovery. |

I use a 4 tonne bottle jack and I have two 3 tonne ratchet axle stands. Simply pump up the axle and slide the axle stand under nice and easy

You can get 3 tonne ratchet stands for £15 from Costco or online,I use a 10 ton + bottle jack but as said they're not very stable.You can get a good 3 ton trolley jack for around the £80 mark.
These seem to be generic jacks sold from various dealers,ignore the "sale" price,they're £80 wherever you go,lol. http://www.sgs-engineering.com/tj3-garage-...ore=sgs_en o/t,anybody else unable to click on the Halfords links?? Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5. |

It seems to be a Trade Doubler issue Martin - if you remove all their prefix stuff in the url it works fine...
