cheap trolley jack
Anyone know of an okish cheap (under £60) trolley jack? Its only for the odd weekend oil change etc on the saxo, so a two tonner would be more than enough. The last one I got was pants

Brothers got a cheap argos special one, does the job but wont win any awards and the throw is tiny so takes ages to lift. Best to splurge if its getting repeated use
