I got a 2 1/4 ton one from Ebay, the guy said he would sell them to OOF members for £30 plus post. if I can, I'll find the original post which has a couple of photos.

£80, clarke 3 tonne, machine mart.

Don't mess about with this area, you NEED a sturdy jack and good stands, with a car this size.... :y

 I bought one of these for just under £40 delivered(by UPS)and seems like a great buy and is actually the model 1 up from the one Ken T bought as he had the last of that type so an even better deal than he got :y.

            HTH,
                  Pete :).

  PS. I know what James is saying is good advice but i would have thought that a  2 1/4 tonne jack should be ample as your never going to actually lift the whole car at once and even then it doesn't weigh that much anyway :).

I bought that jack specifically for use with the caravan, didn't seem much point in having a spare wheel if I couldn't put the bu66er on, it was about £18 including the case.
I have a bigger refurbished at home for use on my car, & if I need anything bigger, I borrow my Dad's - it's big enough to lift the car up to axle stand height in one go.  :y

If you want a proper Trolley Jack there is only one name...........Bradbury.

I have had mine since 1984!

Not sure how much these days, but if it's quality you are after this is the jack to buy.

I suppose it's like anything really, all depends what sort of use you want it for or intend putting it to and how much your willing to spend :-/.

Thanks for the advice fellas.  I have a small trolly jack in case that i have used with no problems but i wanted one that i can get the car up higher with as to get my axle stands under and the one i have seen gets up to 800mm so thats plenty high.  Just thought i would check before spending out heaps of cash.....
