So you spend loads of money on your pride and joy then skimp on jacking it up correctly.
Cannot see the logic in that if you get it wrong it will cost you.
The Rubber pads are self hold and have locating pegs. So you put them in first then use your trolley jack to jack up to them. Making it much easier to see and use on such a low car.
Or you could guess with the BMW ones and hope for the best. I know which ones I am going to use!
You mean the small chunks of wood I've been using all these years are no good? Cannot see the logic in that if you get it wrong it will cost you.

And yet you preach to others about how they shouldn't be using BMW rubbers. Halfords/BMW, I know which ones I would use.

Think someone needs to tell Aston works service their not lifting their car’s correctly as I’ve never once seen them use the rubber pucks with the lugs on! . People are welcome to spend however much they feel is appropriate to look after their pride and joy , however it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know how to Jack a car safely and if someone is under the impression that a Jack with a lug on it will save them from doing it wrong ,they shouldn’t be doing it at all ! Guess it all comes down to the common sense . I for one as many other people on this forum seem to have common sense enough not to need a puck with a lug on it . Pays your money take your choiceCannot see the logic in that if you get it wrong it will cost you.

Quick thread resurrection.
Although I'm fairly certain I could have jacked my own car, it's going to a tyre fitters at the weekend and I'm not so confident of their abilities.
So - I've bought a set if the trolley jack pads from Steve. Emailed him before 9:00 this morning - he replied within half an hour and they were in the post by mid-afternoon. Excellent service.
They might be an extravagance, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I have just done the same thing. Ordered them last weekend and received them today.Although I'm fairly certain I could have jacked my own car, it's going to a tyre fitters at the weekend and I'm not so confident of their abilities.

I can understand that some people feel they don't need them but with all the shape and various materials used to form the car I thought it was a no-brainer. The cost saving in not buying them could easily be regretted if you got it wrong.
Steve was very helpful and quick to come back with information. He tells me that they also do pads for axle stands, in fact, he is also a Sealey dealer, so more strings to his bow than I had first thought.
