The tiny little stubby but goes in the hole / jacking point in the sill. If its a rusty car you will damage it, and it may even fall of. Use with extreme care! Put something under the car when it's jacked up, doesn't matter what it is, wood, tyre, bricks (under subframe). Good luck! Don't just wind it up, listen / watch for sill / inner sill movement and cracking sounds

Stay the fudge away, leave it. Go too your nearest halfords and get a Scissor jack anything, just stay away from that.

thanks for the replys guys, I didn't feel that comfortable in using it, so called out breakdown cover company to change it instead, I'll have to invest in a Scissor jack!.

kinda worried about my mini being stolen with all of them going missing in brum. Looked at getting a tracker fitted soon I think.

make sure you get one that broadcasts a VHF "homing beacon" rather than utilising GPS.otherwise they could use a anti tracker device there only 15 pounds.
