Can i jack from here?

[grinder]

i dont think you will beable to jack it that high to get it on ramps - you have to get the wheels miles off the floor

as you jack the chassis - the wheels drop anyways ( suspension travel ) - so the 10 inch you jack up the car - you might only raise the wheels 2 inch in real terms

good luck with this one

Mine have always been too low to get onto my Ramps - I use a 20T trolley jack - can lift it 3ft with that! :Giggle

And you didnt actually jack it off the rad did you?

Not I - but I\'ve seen someone do it - and it made a hell of a mess too :Hammer
 
Funny thing was - much like our rads, it was just sat on the bottom bracket - and held in by 2 little clips, it came off the car really easily - along with all his coolant

my tii/egi/scenic have always been too low for ramps

but a short peice of scaffolding plank and some bricks always helps

To lift an FC I always jack on either the diff or the front subframe, then I put some stands or ramps under it depending on what job I\'m doing.

 If you can reach the diff on your FC.. then your can clearly isnt low enough!:p

huge ass petrol tank in the way of the diff for me.. cant even get an ally race jack on it.

Thats where a couple of blocks of wood come in handy - just drive on to those first :Thumbsup!
