you will be ok with a 2 ton jack as your only going to be lifting one corner at a time,,it also depends how much you want to spend & if the ground is level where your going to be jacking up.We use these & they are good if jacking up on uneven ground as they are wide.

These axle stands will be good enough

I use this one with the 6 ton stands: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/ctj3000g-3...-garage-j/ Aside from the strength (and it is worth noting that the 3-ton Clarke quick lift jack has been known to fail under the weight of a D3) you also get more height available.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I went for this set http://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equi...xle-stands from SGS, very pleased with them and feel safe when working under all that steel  2.7 HSE, Audi A6 Exec, Honda Accord Exec, Volvo 440, Volvo 360

Thanks Gents..

Didn't want to buy something that I later regret & was not suitable.. your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated

Cheers

I borrowed a 2 ton trolley jack and it wouldn't lift mine. Got a 3 ton sealey jack for around £35 and a pair of stands from argos around £20.

A little off topic but I am looking for a good 2 ton light Weight Bottle jack to carry in the car. I don't like the jack supplied and if I need to change a wheel would like a better solution. Wondering if any of you guys have found a good solution. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

Gents thanks again for your words of wisdom

Decision made & item ordered below

PS just a thought have we tried to negociate a discount with SGS for recommending their products or any other company come to that the saving could also be donated to keep this site running My first RRS HSE Purchased June 2016

Hi IRBails, in answer to your query, I bought this item from LR Direct, and as you can see it fits nicely in the tool tray

I very recently purchased the same Jack but not with those stands, was very disappointed that not a trace of oil etc in the Jack at all, and it was extremely difficult to remove retaining clip.(badly bent).
Phoned up and they say it shouldn't be that empty and I'm awaiting pickup and exchange.
So just check yours has sufficient oil in it. John
