        I did think about that as well just wasn't sure if it would be possible. I need to see if my brother in law is back at work in Kwik fit to try and get it up on ramp to check there's nothing else damaged but I don't think so. Anybody know any decent bodyshops in Central Scotland that they would reccomed? Obviously I would wait til after restrictions are over. But a good idea that. Thanks guys.

          • Haha my mates like that, he is an sparky and has been going to do some extra lights up for me for about a year. Although to be fair I have been going to machine polish his vxr since he bought it 4 years ago so can't say too much .

              Sorry to see this Graeme---I never use the normal jacking points on the sills--if you look in your handbook/manual you will see on page 226 the jacking points for lifting the car---these are used by garages with lifting gear---I use these points along with a rubber puck/pad and lift the car there----plus they are much stronger than the chocolate positions that are on the sills-------Dave

                Cheers Dave I will take a look, I never do much on the car usually and very much not mechanically minded and normally I use a rubber pick with a groove that slots over the sill jack point. Not sure if I have missed lining up or what I have done. Definitely a lesson learned.

                    • I have a one like it but I only use it to lift smaller bits on the car[taking the weight off a drop link etc] but it has the rubber pad on it to stop any slipping----Dave

                      • Yep mine has as well. As I said I was daft enough to use another puck I had on my old jack.

                          I had one exactly the same.....gave up the ghost after 6 months and they didn't wanna know.

                          I got fed up playing email tennis and bought a new Sealey one

                            • I only got the SGS one as my old one wouldn't fit with having the skirts. Old one was a Lidl one I got years ago in a set with couple of axle stands.
