safe way to lift disco and work under him

(1/4) > >>

LADY IN A LANDY:
Hi Guys, a little advice please.
I need to get underneath my disco i thought i would be able to wriggle under but one or two things got in the way lol not as much clearance as you think there is.Anyway are the drive on ramps the kind of thing you can get from halfords the safest way of doing this i dont need to take the wheels off and i dont like the idea of axle stands they look unsafe to me any thoughts please.
Also when i was having a look under him i noticed a thin black plastic pipe with a hook shape on the end it is just flapping around in the wind should this be conected to something it finishs about in line with the gear box but couldnt see cleary if there was anywhere to connect it.

drive on ramps will be fine for this, get a good set though, not sure what the halfords ones a rated too (weight wise)

that bit of pipe sounds like the transfer or gear box breather, it shouldnt be connected to anything, normally just cliped up under the floor out of the way. nothing to worry about if you dont drive through fords etc

Colin 009:
What I do is with just two ramps, put one right front and the other left rear and just drive up onto them. be sure to chock the wheels still on ground.

thats a good way to do it, i must agree, when my disco was standard though i couldnt get my ramps under the cill to get the rear wheel up on to it.

all depends on what ramps you have got, mine are a fair size  :D

Pike:
dont buy cheap ramps,I prefer axle stands but its each to his own,just remember Landies weigh 2 tons.
