Thanks all for the replies.
Just got a 19.99 one from Aldi.
If it doesn't work i'll just take it back.
However wife has Toyota Aygo so can use it on that.

Have two 2.5 ton trolley jacks for home use but seriously did not like the stock scissors jack that came with the FL2, it's short and flimsy IMO. I replaced it with a high capacity 16"-18"bottle jack and secured some trailer ABS plastic bases to put under the bottle jack if I am caught on uneven/soft ground. I feel better now if I have to change a tire in an emergency compared to traveling with the stock jack.

I have this one. Aluminium but still heavy! Ample lift height, good capacity, rubber pad, quick lift.

Lovely jack but the blurb calls it INCREDIBLY light,
its just short of 60 llbs !!! must be some good heavy duty gear inside it.
