Thankyou! Didn't find that one, that's ideal for me

I'd rather get a low level jack, as you can't get a standard jack under some cars - especially if they have aftermarket suspension.

I'll also be going for an aluminium one next time, just to save a bit of weight.

I have a blue point Aluminium low profile , bought it in the christmas sale £150.

Last a lifetime.

Realy need to sort a low entry jack

does a standard trolley jack not fit under the rs twingo? Not planning on altering the suspension

it may do, but i have a gravel drive, so need a pice of thick plywood to put the jack on and another smaller bit to spread the load on the sill and stop the cup of the jack from bending the sills.

A low entry with a wide rubber load spreading pad would be ideal
