ellis Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 As I have no jack etc and missed out on Peter Richard's group buy on low level car ramps I'm keen to get hold of a pair - wondering if anybody who originally bought Peter's might want to sell theirs or might have another similar style pair they're not using these days and would like to sell. After trying to get my active lip off again this week I've obviously cross-threaded a bolt after putting it back on last week and trying to work under the car to get it out is just a pain in the butt! Have screwed the rest back on and walked off in a huff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Low entry jack? Machine mart usually have decent offers on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Possible but I'd sooner have ramps so I can drive the car up onto them and work easily. Also handy for cleaning the exhaust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 A low entry jack is ideal for the exhaust, jack the diff up job done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) drive onto a house brick and save over £200 ? or an angled piece of wood, what a waste of money Edited May 12, 2013 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 drive onto a house brick and save over £200 ? or an angled piece of wood, what a waste of money Well that's me told! The fact that I don't have either living in a 2nd floor flat might be one reason and the inherent lack of safety might be another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The Peter Richards ones are fantastic. I'm not selling mine, sorry. But I much prefer using them to a jack. The only issue I find, is you can't lie under the car from the side to get at the exhaust bolts from the back of the 2nd cat to the catback very easily.

ashbuster Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 but thinking about it they are very long and quite big so maybe a real pain carrying them up and down stairs to your flat plus storing them unless you have a shed or storage place down on the ground - - - Updated - - - Interesting turnaround then!! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?286380-car-ramps&highlight=ramps ??? i wasnt even talking to you,lol i was talking about those short ramps that you use to then put a jack under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 it depends what you want to do mate, the height is only 17cm. maybe put a wanted thread up to see if anyone wants to sell theirs from the group buy. you might be lucky mate i was . they give plenty of height to get right under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
