Low entry trolley jack

[dss123]

Anybody come across a trolley jack that will get under my S1 with LSS??

I know elise parts do one but it seems a tad pricey?


Thanks guys

If you can remove the saddle I imagine it will get it nearer 100mm

Oddly, I saw one on the Halfords web site the other night.

Every time I have heard somethign about a Halfords jack, it is that the person is about to or has taken it back

Sealey LE jacks are what you want.

Any decent sealey dealer, including online do them.

I have 2. A 2 ton and a 3 ton. Both do down to 80cm and I use them for every elise I work on (including the 340r)

cheers

C'mon Ragtop,

I thought the 'liz parts one was a bit pricey!

I think the Sealey ones seem a bit "pro" for my needs.

Do I really need to spend £100-£300?! I'm just going to be doing a bit of tinkering.

Also I don't think the Halfords one goes down far enough.


It seems "Low entry" = mega bucks!

Just get the halfords one and drive on to some wooden blocks or bricks first

? The one I gave you a link to above is less than £30 ?

The Sealey should only set you back about a hundred quid - it won't break after a few used and has a nice big saddle ideal for the liz.

Sealey often have deals on them - they're fantastic.

Cheers Stu,

Ok On cost but will it fit under my car with LSS?

Not to sure if the 100mm saddle height will do it?

Find somethign 110mm high and see if you can get it under the car?

[dss123]

Now I know why I signed up to PH, What would I do without you guys?!

Not a complete idiot really, car kept bloody miles away and wanted to order a jack today. Thought some fellow S1 owners with LSS might have been able to help!

I use this one:



Very low (80mm):



And an optional rubber saddle cover, perfect for the Elise:

Also noticed one on Ebay yesterday under the Lotus section - pics of it being used on an Elise were attached. Sorry but I can't remember how much it was!
