Replacement jack options?

[con1981]

After my supplied Jack crumpled.

I'm looking for a replacement. Loads of standard clio tool kits on eBay but having had this happen I think I might look at something else. I'm thinking of either a bottle Jack or a 2 ton scissor Jack as sold in your local halfords. Which do to think would be the better buy?

Bottle Jack or scissor Jack which do you think it's better?

After mine died I got a jacking kit from halfords. Seems half decent, had it about 3 years now

Having kit matey?

I'm after a small jack to go in the boot. Don't know if a bottle Jack will be low enough to go under the car though

got a 2 ton hydraulic scissor jack that stays in the boot, and it dosnt do too much damage to the side sills... i dont think a bottle jack will fit under the car and they arnt that stable

Yep your right a bottle Jack will not fit underneath.

Scissor Jack it will have to be. Hopefully I can find one that will fit in spare wheel well

Inbetween buying the halfords set and mine breaking, I used the one from my mams mk6 (iirc) fiesta. It was brilliant.

Trying to find one that we'll fit in wheel well is a pain in the arse. They are all too long may have to take my chances with a second hand standard one
