Hello people,

Are you like me and work on your mini often? are you sick of having to use 2 jacks to get your low riding mini off the ground? well have I got a scoop for you!

Repco currently stock a trolley jack that is at it's lowest height only 14cm off the ground. It is $99 save $70.

See you this weekend at Repco!

not too bad at all. I usally just drive it up on a series of bricks that keep getting bigger and bigger. My own personal brick ramp . Just wish my mate would give me back my car ramps.

Cheers

I just have 2 short lengths of timber, drive on to those then slide the jack under

Im here to learn!

I bought a $20 trolley jack from big W that fits under them easily , only lifts to about a foot high so useless on anything other than a mini but well worth the price (or it was till it blew a seal )

I too have the $20 Big W trolley jack but it just doesn't fit under Lillee's sagging front hydro bags.

So i guess this problem is mine and mine alone

Just how low is Lillee then ??? I've fit this one under many low mini's (hydro and lowered dry) without drama's , maybe they've changed their range , I'll go measure the lowered height of it later .

I always just lift the car up a bit by hand to slide the jack underneath. It's one of the wonders of hydrolastic suspension.

Yes that's what I do too, but see with this jack, you won't need to!

Umm... the jack point is JUST lower than the lowest hieght on my Kmart/BigW trolley jack

I have a Supercrap trolley jack which fits nicely underneath the tie-rod mounts on the front of the front subframe.

You shouldn't jack from that point. I have bent tie rod arm mounts on Lillee for that reason... Made proper alignment quite difficult on Lillee without the use of adjustables...

so line up your jack properly, if the jack bends the ears the tie rods attach to, don't bloody drive the car cos they'll tear off one day..... my Mini K actually had the ears brazed up, I tested the brakes on day and one of them sheared - lucky I was doing a controlled test!

I've got a big arse 2 ton jack, fits everywhere under my cooper - the bigger jacks fit the lifting bit between the wheels, whereas the little ones have it above the wheels, hence sit high

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

I have a LeeQwanFuck brand from Stupidcheap that fits perfectly

same here just recently got a trolley jack from supercrap for about $30
min lift height of about 13cm, which isnt too helpfull when your sump is about 8-10cm at the lowest point hence, 2 blocks of wood help me bump it up a few cm

i really need to get hi-lows for jester speedbumps are just painful
