I had high street vouchers to spend and the only useful place is Halfords.

So, maybe jumped the gun a little...

Low profile only needed for sDrives

jusdorange · 09-07-2014, 04:57 AM

Lol just get some food or something

You'll be surprised, I nearly bought one of these before summer to put my spacers on - my 'standard' trolley doesn't fit under my xDrive! (Ok it's got the ACS springs)

Thanks for the code OP - reserved one!

Well, Autumn's coming, noticed some trees starting to turn orange yesterday!

And you think work couldn't possibly manage without you?!

Reserved, good shout

Rich9600 · 09-07-2014, 08:32 AM

All fits nicely. Plenty of space even with a rubber jack pad.

Easily lifts car high enough for a wheel change.

I had to have a play...

Admittedly, this is one area I do get lazy, I just pay someone.

Chris Peacock · 09-07-2014, 11:10 AM

Thanks for heads up, reserved along with some two tonne axle stands.

Where did you get the rubber jack pad from?

As above. eBay.

MarkG_M5Comp · 09-07-2014, 01:07 PM

Has anyone used their eBay one yet? If so, any good?

I've used mine once (all four corners) and it's all but fallen apart - total bag of sh@@t!!

If anyone has a good one please post a link or I'm buying a pucker puck from BMW...

Just used it at one corner to check the jack. There were impressions into the back from the 4 raised bits of the jack cup even after this short usage.

Seems decent enough though. Maybe a bit of something inside the jacks cup may save the insert a little. Just enough to reduce the bite from the raised bits...

I'll trawl back through my emails to see if I can find the seller I bought from.

Rechecking the 'instructions' or small print it would appear I screwed up and didn't read throughly. That's most unlike me so I guess I was rushing! I'll get another...

Note to self, use on a flat surface on to of the jack.

Re. using a lump of wood - my old jack wouldn't have fitted under the car with wood on - maybe my new low profile one will

Billyray911 · 09-07-2014, 06:43 PM

I found that the jacking cup on the Halfords low profile was too small.This meant that the jack adapter would have to balance on top of the cup,which I wasn't too happy with-especially as mine is a composite plastic.
After a bit of research,this also meant that this wouldn't actually fit under my car which has slightly lowered suspension.Shame,as my old Halfords jack had a removable centre section within the cup for different applications.
More expensive,but very low and with a very large jacking cup,I ended up buying a Sealey 2500 le.

A bit of overkill for occasional use,but perfect for low slung bmw's.
