It's a bit of a long shot but if anyone has a low entry trolley jack they don't need, I'd be interested. I'm fed up with driving the Zed onto wooden blocks so I can get a jack under it I missed one like this on ebay a few days ago so something similar would be great.Thanks

Well, in the end I got this one for a bargain price from ebay. It certainly looks good but I'll tell you if it doesn't work when I try it out

Looks like it will do the job Paul. I had the very same frustrating issue when I owned a 325d m-sport BMW.

Yes, I hope so. I got this one over some others because it also had the highest lift. My current jack barely gets the Juke's wheels off the ground!!

The 1.25 ton capability should be ok for the Z, but may prove a limiting factor overall.

This is worth a read:http://www.britishrally.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37370&hilit=low+jackI think it is the same jack. If so, I would not have much confidence in it.

Thanks for posting the link but I need to register to see that article. Is there a picture or ebay link in it that might show which jack it is? If not, then I will just register to read the thread.Now I'm worried

It is a Clarke CTJ1250A - 1¼ Tonne Aluminium Trolley Jack purchased from Machine Mart.http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ctj1250a-11-4-tonne-aluminium-trolley-jack

I just checked and they are talking about a Clarke jack, I haven't a clue who makes mine! It looks solid enough though - obviously I will take care and not do something stupid like get under the car unless it's on axle stands.

Yep, thanks for that
