I can use them on my 18 yr old Capri, but then again, my one is immaculate :-P

Can use axle stands under the axle too!... I love stoneage engineering :-D

It's worked for me on several occasions - used to lift the Cinq. like that.

One would assume that lifing a 'grale by the 'box isn't the done thing, then ;-)

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

A friend left a DS parked on grass for a couple of years - it'd been quite solid when he put it there.

It wouldn't rise (it wouldn't start), the towbar had disappeared under grass (but the ball was still visible), and when we put a trolley under the base of the A-pillar, it just jacked and jacked and jacked with no resistance until it hit the lower hinge... Which fell off.

And people claim that grass does no harm.

Subframe or suspension rails. You're into judgement call territory, it depends on whether or not anythings rusty. Leaving the wheel underneath is a good total s*it avoiding measure.
