Hi John

You should still be able to get the jack under the jacking points just 
behind each front wheel. My car is particularly low, only losing out to 
Tony Lawther in the "lowest front" competition (adding weight to the 
theory that it's shock-related). But I digress.

I spent some pocket money aabout 6 months ago (when DMUK wasn't on the 
cards) in a full sized workshop jack. It cost me £50 in the local 
motorworld and can lift either end of the car high enough to get the 
axle stands underneath at full height. Wouldn't be without it now. I 
also use ramps but you can't get the front wheels on them without 
removing the spoiler.
