Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Advice on how to raise a car with a sports suspension

If your car has a particularly low sports suspension or is fitted with appendices in the sill, here is a simple tip on how to raise the car for any repairs or maintenance. Place a normal hydraulic jack in the sill, raising the car a few centimeters. Now get a rather thick and resistant block of wood or a large stone that you are going to place under the wheel raised from the ground. Lower the car so that the wheel rests on the support of wood, iron or stone. Reposition the jack in a more central point under the car and raise it again to the optimum height to position the stand.
