Hi Simon
How about a photo?

I use a twin screw bottle jack that was used in Holden sedan cars circa 
1958-9 and it works great for the 3000 as it is low when collapsed and 
will fit under the rear spring leave plate when the tyre is flat. Will 
also fit under the front lower wishbone.

Regards
John Rowe
