Either have the car on soft ground and dig a jack in under it, or drive / push the car onto some wood blocks to gain enough height to get the trolley under is what I always do, or use the forklift truck if I'm up the yeard.sdelasal wrote:Yep - Towbar was really useful - I don't know how i'd have lifted the rear without it? What do people do in that situation?
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

One trick I use to raise the car up from totally flat, to enable a trolley jack to get under.
Where the chassis members meet the front lower panel underneath, .there’s a square-ish recess at the front.
Place a cut piece of wood/ply wood, into the chassis section.
The original jack or bottle jack is tilted, then into an upright position onto the wood.
Should work on normal flat ground..
