Default Raising a car..........

As a few will know im planning a few things for the car underside this winter. I was considering building a pit in the garage but have now decided against it.

I was wondering how I would go about raising the car as high as possible for easier access to the underside????

I dont really mind spending a couple of hundred quid on necessary equipment, so can anyone reccomend anything for me please????

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thats what I was thinking to be honest mate, although a few have put me off that idea with breeze blocks as they can easily shatter apparently.

I might try using blocks of wood, adding more corner by corner. Ideally i want to be able to sit under the car.

Thats brilliant that, even if a bit pricey. Would pay for itself over time though I suppose.
