Don't you have a motor factors or halfwits near you? This is the sort of stuff you can pick up off the shelf just about anywhere.

Hi Arran congratulations on buying your car thumbup - Yeah expect to pay around £12 max. for a pair of axle stands and a fiver a spray tin for waxoyl...

treat yourself to a trolley jack (get the lowest height when fully lowered as theres not much room under there...) and some drive-on ramps too ? - say £15 each...

all regular motor factor stuff really.. wink

sounds like you are going to be busy ?

Brilliant thanks, for the tips its going to be a crash course in car mechanics for me!

A lot of the time it is cheaper to ship things in rather than buy them straight often get a better selection of quality makes aswell online. Cheers again..

I've bought loads of tools from Machine Mart.
Particularly good is their trolley jack model number CTJ2LR which is listed as a best buy by Car Mechanics.
This jack has a very low height when fully lowered and easily fits under the TVR. £35 inc VAT.

Also get looking on ebay - look at items that are listed as pickup only in your area (filter on how many miles away).
I got a massive amount of tools for £37, it was an absolute bargain.
