cheers mate will invest in a proper jack tomorrow as i will probably get alot of use out of it now as i have a mini and then put it on axel stands cheers

Just dont jack it up by the engine

I just put mine up on ramps. Is that bad?

I'd use a trolley jack as they are a bit more sturdy, then use the axle stands... I'm never convinced by these bottle jacks as the car can move slightly when jacking up and these could tip..... no experience of this, just an observation!
