Any recommendations re correct Jack & Axle stands for my MX5 NC

Technical Area Routine Servicing

HI,

With winter coming up, I guess I need to spray the underside with anti rust, so I will need to buy a trolley jack and four axle stands.

Any advice or recommendations very welcome, for starters, like what lift hight do I need, do I need a low entry jack, if so what clearance do I have.

Not sure it’s relevant, but standard wheels and tyres; and as far as I am aware standard ride height. Asphalt drive.

Best regards,

Graham.

low entry jacks are OK BUT you can use planks of wood - drive up onto them and a normal jack will work well.

Halfords sell nice axle stands and you get 10% discount with them

I like the ramps whic can be extended upwards too and find them very useful. they’re wide as well.

You can never have enough axle stands!
