cheers lads, much appreciated!!! i will go and buy a low trolly jack, and i will carry a piece of wood in the back as well. next job is to get a high profile tyre on my old 15" to make it the same rolling radius as a 16" for a spare;) | |

aint the tyre gotta be in the air for you to use tyre weld otherwise it'll mould the tyre in a wierd flat type shape? | |

about 30-90 depends which one u buy, make sure when u use a trolly jack that it doesnt put pressure on the skirts when lifting the car up. | |

Yeh it should be possible to get the jack in by the front or rear wheel arch!!! If your realy having probs you could slightly turn the front wheel although that aint exactly the safest option!!! | |

You sure you cant get the jack under if you put it in from the wheel arch, slide it under and then do it?? | |
