Thanks but too small - I've got an old one that high, would like one a bit bigger so I don't have to crouch so much !!

why not just put a block of wood under it?

yep - that is what I do if need to lift up think for the landie

you need to ensure the jack does not wander off the blocks as you jack it up

put the block of wood between jack and car, wood is also softer than the jack and wont dent or scratch the paint so much

saw a 3 tonne jack similar to size you see in most tyre bays etc for £35 + vat in Costco, looked okay , made by SIP IIRC

Car is too low to get much wood in between the jack and chassis ..... that's what I do already when I can..... I've had a cheap small jack for 20+ years and now want a grown up one!

No Costco near me.....
