RE: [doc] 'Modern' style air conditioning

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

If you think is difficult to get the jack under the front now...don't make
the mistake of putting the back up on axel stands first.....you can barely
get anything at all under the front then! That's one of the reasons I use
the anti-roll bar mounting...But I don't want to get intro all that again!

Aldi (or is it the other cheap store, Liddell ) are currently selling off
new 2 tonne trolley jacks for £9.95!!!

. don't make the same mistake I witnessed about 30 years ago, where a
mechanic put a jack under the middle of a Morris 1000, he then put another
jack under the diff at the rear, he had got the car about a foot in the air,
with all four wheels removed, before it toppled sideways! Always use axel
stands!

BTW John, you must have a friend or neighbour who is a bit handy around
cars? Rope him in to show you how to go on initially.

OK, I have a new 2 tonne car jack and 2x 3 tonne jack stands from
Halfords (together with extendable tyre arm and inspection light!),
but it doesn't fit anywhere under my 'lowered' car. My first attempt
to lift the car on the oem DMC jack did *not* lift the car enough to
get my new 'proper' jack under the front of the car, it doesn't get
past the front axle.

I am heading back tomorrow to get some of the mini car ramp things to
get an extra couple of inches.

Am I now the only one driving on the 4 original tyres? What can be
done with them if I swap them for new replacements (I have nowhere to
store them), clean answers only on this query please! The tyre have
done less than 12,000 miles and are in pretty much as-new condition.
More tread on them than my everyday car!


PS. Martin, my oil filter seems to be weeping oil out of a small
hole, do you have them off the shelf, reply or e-mail off list with
payment method and costs.
