Guys, if you need a low saddle hydraulic jack for getting to the jacking points of the GT3 (or any other low car) I thought I'd let you know that the one at Costco has an 89mm min height of the saddle. Had no problem getting it under the side sills. It jacked the whole front of the car up from one side, so I could put a stand under the other side - max height. Brilliant piece of kit. £65!!

I looked at that one the other day. It looked like it would do the job but weighed a ton. I didn't fancy lugging that in and out of the garage so I left it on the shelf. Damn fine price though.

Driving onto a nice wedge of wood will lift the car up those vital few inches to allow any trolley jack to be used.

Dammit, Damian, I wish I had thought of that a few days ago. Just scoured the earth for a jack that fits under a GT3, and in the end bought one for a tenner which fits but only if I take the wheels off!!

How long are they? I need one for getting under my race car which has the chassis quite a way from the edge of the body work.
