Just nipped over to our local Lidl wanting some washing powder. Ended up seeing car jack on offer this week: http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20091012.p.Hydraulic_Car_Jack.ar5

So I bought one, as was getting annoyed using the crappy one that fits in the spare wheel in the boot.

Hope it helps someone

got one of those aaaggeeesss ago, it's not bad, the handle is a bayonet fitting, but i've found it's a bit carp, not very tight fitting so falling out, so bit annoying, but it's functional. don't forget you don't jack up in the same places as the scissor jack, or if you do, you need a shaped block of wood to avoid damage to the sills!

They're OK for occassional use, but Screwfix did/do the same model cheaper, and they wilt after a month of workshop use.

keep the reciept! it has a guarrantee but not when you loose the reciept, but i lost mine... and its broken.
