I have made some ramps out of kitchen worksurface leftovers. They are getting a bit decrepit now as they are around 20 years old now, but the couple who live next door to us are having a new kitchen made, and I have spied some off cut pieces that I could make some more with. Easy enough to screw them together and gives my fat gut plenty of room to get underneath.

I have bought a set of these. They are really worth the bit extra.
Yes the do catch the bumper. I have spent this week respraying it... Two bits of 2x4" under either one do lift it enough though. I have also got two long thin strips of rubber mats that stop them from sliding when pulling the car up.

Ramps.
Hi Mike.
Halfords ramps are quite good I have used them for over 5yrs and they are still good today, I have had FL1 FL2 Rover 75 tourers and saloons on them, I use them in conjunction with ramp https://www.halfords.com/tools/garag...ps-657271.html These maybe close to you. ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Halford-C...4383.l4275.c10 Extensions https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Of-H...AAAOSwIeFbM1FR 1 2 3

Hope you and Marina are doing good, and managing to stay safe. They look the part & would need cleaning and tidy up paint ect, do you think they would be stable once in the air from side force ? they just look as though they would go side ways with the weight, I wonder if these were made for mini, A40 type cars.

Doesn't anyone use old house bricks and blocks of oil stained wood anymore?
You lot have far too much disposable income. |

But seriously I have used these before for the 75 (admittedly I never looked at the spec, ) just drove onto them. Massive lift on them and no issues with stability. Have to accept that for our cars they are at the limit though. Tempted to get some for the Sunbeam
