Went to jack up the rear of the Griff yesterday to paint the rear wishbones - all set to go - and the seals on my trolley jack failed.

Was going to go and get a new one and then started looking at those air jack things, where you put a big balloon under the car and the exhaust fumes fill it up and as it inflates it jacks the car up - looks quite power coating friendly - anyone got any experiance with them.

Don't do it, just buy another trolly jack, it's not worth the potential danger!

I'd hope you'd be using axle stands as well!
