Any recommendations on trolley jack? Ideally low enough to fit under the Aston as well?


I got an Arcan 3t one from Costco for use at home, it's shallow enough to get under low cars but crucially, has just enough lift to get the wheels up off the ground when using it on a FFRR...

Ironic this thread has started as I had a puncture on Saturday, scissor jack bent under the weight and I had to use the AA to get me on my way.
Came on this morning to say that I ordered some new tyres (puncture was beyond repair) from Camskill which was recommended here. Brilliant service, arrived the next day.

Now I just need a new jack..... Regards

That Arcan one is just the ticket. Pity there isn't a Costco near me.

They are on ebay for £50 more than the costco price.

So what is the minimum height required for a jack to just about lifting the car and the wheel off the road?

I looked through the driver manual but it does not seem to list the height from ground to car on extended mode. Tom

As the RR scissor jack stows easily in the boot, I would like to keep mine in it's place. Would it be possible , worthwhile, to remove and weld thicker sections in place of the weaker struts? Any idea of what thickness the replacement arms should be? Where does the metal usually fold- I presume always in the same place ?
Is this a problem with the RR Classic too? The Classic weighs 2750 kilos and the L322 ,2002 TD6 weighs in at 3050kilo. 2002 Vogue TD6

Before the L322 Range Rovers had bottle jacks. Scissor jacks were, I guess, a cost cutting exercise Regards

. . . . whilst on the subject of jacking - Idea

Have I read on here about a facility to jack the car without the wheel dropping to it's lower suspension limit, so the car would hardly have to be lifted off the ground to change a wheel ?

Or have I made it up !

Thumbs Up Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

Not sure but I think what I'd do is raise the car on the air suspension, insert jack to touch the jacking point, lower car to access height. Would this cause a problem?
