hi, he did that and the jack give way as it was at its limit and wheels were still on ground. i will let him know cheers for the help

Thrasher:
Not being funny, but it's independent suspension, I've owned 4 L322's and NEVER had a problem jacking them up with the standard jack, using the correct procedure as per the manual. Don't strap it up and it's not recommended to use a trolley jack unless you know exactly where to jack.

GORDON N:
thats ok, where is the best place to jack from using a trolley jack as the standard one is knacked after the collapse

Thrasher:
If you look under the struts, you should be able to see somewhere the trolley 'cup' will seat, but be aware that you are jacking the car in a way it is not expecting - by compressing the suspension. Ensure the keys are out of the vehicle and it is on level ground, otherwise it WILL attempt to compensate.

GORDON N:
cheers for that will pass on tomorrow
