Thanks for your input guys.
Craig dropped it round yesterday (thanks very much mate, I owe you a pint).

Great bit of kit goes from 91mm to 498 mm in 5 pumps, has a nice wide and long wheelbase for stability and a large rubber lifting pad. 1.9T capacity.

Aluminium construction means relatively low in weight, ideal for the DIY mechanic.

Total £80 inc VAT, I'd recommend this one highly for low cars.
Found this old thread but as I have just got my 996 a jack that fits may be handy? I have 2 trolley jacks, one is defo too big but not tried the other, also anybody know a cheap place for the pads? £10 on ebay seems to be the price but anybody know anywhere cheaper?

91mm base height? my 996 has the factory sport suspension which is 90mm - would this type of jack fit? as not sure where the 90mm is measured? if using jacking points (with a pad) will it fit?
