    Use the scissor jack to get the car high enough to fit the trolley jack under the sill and then roll the trolley jack under

    Failing that try put the trolley jack straight in the wheel arch under a wishbone (if it'll fit in the arch)

      Those exhaust bags pictured above are very common here in australia.
      We use them all the time when were fourwheel driving, and we get stuck on the sand.

      They are extremely safe (if you get the right brand) and can easily lift some big fourwheel drives.

        I usually lift first de back part of the car (It's higher than front)and then I put another jack at the front part, but your car is very low all over its lenght....

          yeah just make sure you dont have your face above the hose when your letting the air out... like that fella.

          remembering that its filled completely by exhaust gas.

            I am currently doing that, I have two woods and two cats in the trunk
            I drive the car over the woods, so the scissors jack will not break, lift the enough to roll the trolley jack .. but looking for something faster and easier .. I think the best option is the oxer´s option, a jack with low profile even are very large is better than taking 4 things , but I've been looking on ebay and can not find anything similar here..

              But I usually just drive up onto wood and then jack the car..
              i always did this. even the low jacks wouldn't fit under my car.

                you've tried it in cars with small engines?
                I have the impression that half the work the 1.4L 90hp engine of my car turn off..

                  I have 60 mm of space between the floor and the bottom Jacking, enough not to use woods, but can not find a low profile jack here in Spain
