Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Can anyone recommend a trolley jack at a reasonable price that is low enough to go under my C4S?
The jack I have just about went under my old Carrera 2 but the lower suspension and the plastic skirts on the C4S means that it is no good for this car.
Suggestions gratefully received.

If you don't have a Costco near you, just search for "alluminium racing jack" on ebay, that way you should get one for about £100, that will also fit under a GT3 or something equally low as well.
HI,
Just got this on my email:
http://www.ready2race.co.uk/shop/shop.php?action=full&id=1482
£110 down to £80, designed for race cars so should be low enough.
Cheers

However, both the jack from
Ready2Race
and
MachineMart
have a max capacity of 1.25 Tonnes, and as a 996 coupe weighs around 1380 kg (cabs slightly more), it would appear that these jacks aren't suitable...
That's a shame as I really fancied getting one...!
If you want to go cheap Machine Mart have one for 33.00 including VAT which works fine with my lowered C2. Not the smartest but work well and can be seen at
www.machinemart.co.uk
and they appear to have branches nationwide.
You know, I knew something wasn't right, and I knew that if I posted my thoughts on the forum, someone would spot the obvious flaw in my thinking! Durrr....
Thanks pwafer, you're absolutely right, and I'll just go back to sleep...[

Its what i do to the 986S and my old 964
money saved............
Elliot,
I fear you've missed the point...sometimes you have to find a reason to buy a spangly new piece of kit.
You see, I tell my missus I *need* one of these jacks...just like when she tells me she *needs* another pair of shoes...
When my mates come round, "hey guys, take a look at this baby...!"
Not quite the same impact with a piece of 2x2!
