It's my Dad's birthday coming up and he wants a low entry jack. Has anyone got any recommendations? There are a few on Machine Mart but don't know if they're any good. ________________________________________

i don't think you overly need to worry about a low entry one really unless it's something seriously low..  do they demand a lot more money over normal ones? i've seen them in ally and are meant to be very light but never bothered with them tbhmy cl55 amg was very low as standard (plus the suspension had collapsed at one point!) and normal jacks went under it i've got a few, just bought 2x 3 tonne Liftmaster industrial ones actually, they're pretty good and cheaper than others too. look to be identical and just rebranded ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

'Normal' jack wouldn't go under my Clio as it's got street looks.I had to drive on to a block paving block then on to a house brick to get a jack under it. Now I have a low entry number I can pump 4 times and it's over (The jack). Oooo check my post count out. I'll do a Gilesy and say bye bye it's time for me to go now! ________________________________________ |

I got the steel jack from costco, nice bit of kit but it's a bit heavy to take to trackdays. Pretty sure its made by arcan.________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Reasonable prices on Michelin tyre's too! If I needed the tyres fitted, I'd probably go there, but as I do it myself, I've never bought from there________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |
