hey guys
got given a jack for the car yesterday and found out its only a 1400kg jack
now the magna is about 100kgs over this
would the jack still be ok to use? or would i need the next size up?
the jack will get used ever now and again, its just something handy to have lying around
thanks guys :)

unless you're planning on jacking the whole car up at once, 1400kg will be more than enough!

cheers,
.wook

aye, you can only lift one end at a time :)

Jacks are only meant to be used to lift one corner for changing tyres. So 1400kg is plenty enough. Each tyre is only rated to something like 690kgs anyway.

lol now i look like an idiot haha
thanks guys

No you do not look like an idiot at all, jsut sound liek one :D

Goes without saying though, JACK STANDS!!!

jack stands is next on the list
any recommondations?

Get the screw style ones over the pin, better and more accurate height then the pin style ones, they are quite a bit more though (25 compared to 65)

Are they different to the ratchet style ones autobarn have? They always seemed kinda dodgy to me.
