what jack

Post by Ian and Lins »

I am looking for a new jack. The old Machine Mart one I used didn't have as much lift as I wanted. Any recommendations?
Are we going on anything else?

Splash out £100 on a 3 ton trolley jack or get a bottle jack for pennies. I've soldiered on with a bottle jack as I've no where to store a suitable large wheeled jack.

If you do decide to splash out on a 3 tonne trolley jack then I can highly recommend this one that I purchased direct from SGS

I'd heard of SGS Engineering before but never actually purchased one of their products. Didn't realise that they also produce gas struts for our very own T25's

It's not often that when I purchase something i'm happy with the service, delivery, description of product and that the quality is fantastic for the price; but on this occassion I definitely was and even better that it's from a UK company!
