Anyone after a new jack?

[Tattooboy]

Wanting to start tinkering with mine so thought I'd order a low entry trolly jack.

This place http://www.sgs-engineering.com/ have a sale on at the moment so just order the 2.5 tonne Aluminium jack and 4 axle stands.

Roll on A&E

I've not been overly impressed with their boot struts to be honest so not sure I'd use their stuff to jack the car up, probably better off with the Costco one.

What issues have you had with the boot struts ?

Jack comes with a 2 year warranty and I put it on my CC for extra piece of mind if any thing turns out wrong with it.

Thought a few on here have purchased a jack through this company with out any issues which is why I went for one!

Time will tell.

Costco - amazing what you can get there. my mate went there the other day to get some oil, out of stock, he came away with 2 trolley jacks and 4 lobsters

Indeed it will.

They are creaky and at first haven't been much better than the worn originals. Seem better now but still creak a lot.

Give leigh1050 a pm he recently bought a low level jack from machine mart

Just have to be careful using them on uneven floor, they do like a very flat surface as when the arm comes up it does so in an arc, my floor is not dead smooth so the wheels do not move with the arc, I have made skid plates between body and jack so it moves on the plates rather than the wheels, if you only need to come up to get the wheels off then it should be fine but any higher they may be a problem.

My regassed bonnet struts and new boot struts were perfect from them. No complaints here.
