That the 1.25t one? And have you tried to lift front & back with it or just corners?

I've got the 1.25 but I only lift one corner at a time. The only complaint that I have is that the black rubber pad cracked after a few uses but they can be bought separately. It was very supple to begin with,I'm not sure if it had to do with the cold weather when I used it or just deteriorated over time.

Think I have the 1.25 tonne and I've only tried corners.

Yeh can get the axle stands under. But like I said I only lift one corner at a time. It is able to reach the diff I know that, but I never tried lifting the whole rear. I believe Michael parkinson has managed to lift up the rear with his 1.5t

Ah ok, may go for that then as only £20 more, is the height close or room to breath? 1,25 is 85mm and 1,5 is 90mm I believe. 2,0 is 100mm though!

My car is lowered about 1 inch I think and it's quite close. If you're not lowered then I don't think you should have any problems.

I do indeed have the 1.5t version. I can lift the car up via the diff with no issues at all. I also put a 1" pad of wood on top of the jack to protect the diff just in case. There's plenty of room to spare too. My car is not lowered tho but there should be room to play with if yours has been lowered (not read the whole thread)

Bit late but I use mine to lift from front or back centre jacking points and can get it high enough to fit axle stands under the sill jacking points without a problem.
