Scissor (or other) jacks

Post by KevinW »

Can I ask what type of jack do people use for roadside repairs, and where to buy one?
I am also interested to hear what jacking points people use. I have always found this a bit of a pain on low slung cobras,

I use a Halfords scissor jack with a block of 2x2 wood between the jack and outer chassis rail next to the sill. I wouldn't trust it though and always place a wheel under the car just to be safe. Emergency only!!!

Another scissor Jack here. At least you can get it under the car if the tyre is totally shot.
