anything cheap from gumtree, freecycle, local auctions and car bootsales, put the rest into life insurance.

I use this jack from SGS Engineering:

3 Ton Heavy Duty Garage Trolley Jack with 520mm Lifting Height

brilliant bit of kit for the price.

got a highlift jack and stands from machine mart , 3 ton rating

Halfrauds do some pretty good sets to be fair. If your on a budget it might be worth a look...

Having bought the 3ton trolley jack from Machine Mart for £53, I took it back after the first try with it as I it didn't work properly.

I then upgraded and bought the £103 one, much better, however its very heavy. On reflection and with your budget I would recommend the one that Costco sell, its about half the weight (aluminum)

and they do axle stands

Don't buy an alloy jack for a landy as they ain't man enough for the job in my opinion

Liftmaster 3 Ton High Lift Trolley Jack for Cars 4x4s Vans: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike


bought this in 2012 £41 works well good lifting range 530mm, have used it on a series 1, series 3 and Chevrolet suburban, never had any problems.

I bought one of these a few years ago and it's served me very well since then:

I've got one of these https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ctj3000g-3-tonne-professional-garage-j It's big but it lifts the 90 easily and is very stable.

+1 for Clarke 3ton Jack. Bought mine on vat free day.

I'v got the 2 tonne version which i have had for years and served me well but when i first bought it it lived out side as i didn't have a garage then and after a while the jack started to creep down and still does to this day but i always use axle stands with it as i don't trust it but plan to upgrade to the 3 tonne one at some point

Thats the one I bought originally but didn't work properly from the get go, wouldn't hold pressure. Took it back and bought the one below, much better

got one of those costco ones and ragged it about for years.. tis fine.

though i got it for the low profile to fit under the car. i'd get another one with a higher lift for the landy.

another +1 for the 3 tonne clarke one, iv had mine over 3 years now gts abused regular and is still going strong.

I have a Draper 3 ton heavy duty jack. Bought it 8 years ago when I bought the Disco so that Id have something man enough to lift it, Works fine, cost about £100 IIRC. The only thing Id change would be to have one with the footpedal that brings the saddle up to the vehicle without loads of pumping

Costco for me too . Avoid Machine Mart like the plague. They are ****ers when things don't work.

Buy the most expensive you can afford. Bought a 2 ton for my series and you struggle to jack it as it is so short the handle / lever is still underneath, brought a second hand sealey 5ton for £160- absolute beast. Bend down slightly to check its under axle, 4 pumps of lever and wheel is 9 inches in the air.

"Don't buy an alloy jack for a landy as they ain't man enough for the job in my opinion"

another vote for the costco arcan jack , cant be beaten for the cash.
