Bananaman Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Planning on going down to Deemon Theives this afternoon for a Quick Lift Jack. They seem to do 3 types/size 1. Short £82 2. Long £87 3. Long Saloon £110 Any idea if No.2 would be stong enough for a 600kg car? Andy Quote

peterg Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Bananaman, either 1 or 2 will do the job but 2 is more adaptable due to its extra length as you have a choice of positions then... Quote
Bananaman Posted March 13, 2003 Author Posted March 13, 2003 Nice one peter, I'll be off in 1/2 Hr to get rid of more of my money Andy Quote

Bananaman Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 Hi Thanks for info. I went to DT last night & got the long jack listed at £87 in the Catalog, they then produced a bill for over £102.22. 'WHAT !!!!!!' i said. 'VAT' he said. 'WHERE' i said. 'THERE IN SMALL PRINT' he said. 'YOUR JOKING' i said. In the end he let me have it for £74.70 + VAT = £87.77 So beware the Red (I think) catalog is Exc VAT Quote
DickieB Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 DT catalogue is always "plus VAT" Personally I went for 2 lumps of wood that I drive the car on to, and then use my standard hydraluic jack bought for £20. Richard Brown Quote
brianm Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Substantial (2 ton) jack available from Machine mart with min 110mm max 405mm lift height. Will do for me so bought one today, £29+, inc the dreaded. Incidentally if you want to pay more, , they do a very nice 500kg lifter, originally desigd for mc's, but will work a treat under the A*** end/ front end of a Westy about £105 Top tip, if you've used Machine Mart before, then you get a voucher every now and then for zero VAT on their own brand stuff, worth waiting for Brian.
