Don't fancy that. The wings are plastic!

have just ordered one of those pad adaptors & going to find myself some wood before I go and order a new jack

Is it possible to jack an E92 from the front, i.e a jacking point under the engine? I'm going to replace both front discs and pads at the weekend and wanted to put it up on axle stands. Or is there another location I can put the axle stands whilst the using the jack on the proper jacking point?

Shaun_1990 · 01-04-2015, 02:12 PM

my next question... once the car is jacked up & the trolley jack is using the correct place with adaptor pad, where will a axle stand sit without causing any issue?? :s only just thought about that one & to dark outside...

some threads I have just read stays that there is just under the front of the car but tbh I have not seen that on my car.

My axle stands came with some protective rubber pads so I place the stands on the side jacking points.

how can you place on side jack point when you are using side jack point to jack the car up with though? am I doing something really wrong here haha, usually ill just jack bait further down the sill but doesn't seem like a doable option here.

I've got an sgs engineering low profile jack and it doesn't stay jacked up. So i don't recommend them myself.

I jack it up and it slowly just loses height.

Leaking cylinder, get rid of it before it shits itself when you are under it.

Sparky68 · 01-05-2015, 04:51 AM

I order loads of gear from here for work and just spotted this one

https://www.cromwell.co.uk/KEN5036520K

Will see what price I can get it for

Sparky68 · 01-05-2015, 05:21 AM

Has it been over 2 years as it has 2 years warranty?

Costco low entry 2Ton jack and then bought a hockey puck for a £1 and made an adaptor for the jacking points. Works perfectly

I recently bought the Halfords Low Profile Trolley Jack:

It's only £35 at the moment and works a treat
