eBay are a pain in the ar*e when it comes to problems.
I've stopped having stuff sent or indeed sending stuff through eBay as if there is damage they want you to jump through hoops to prove your case.

Assembled this morning :confusion-confused:

Hmmm!

Build quality not as good as I had expected from the Germans, one or two areas I might be looking at beefing up at some point.

ooops 007.JPG
Looks more than the 14cm claimed

Also noted that you can't lock the tables in the horizontal position so that's something I am going to have to take a look at resolving. And no drill attachment so that's going to be sorted as well.

Now to offer it up to the car!!

ooops 008.JPG
Email to Oskar in Germany!!

The advert said that it was 14cm high at its lowest, as my MX sits 14cm off the ground (under the chasis rails) thought I would go for it, on offer at £275.00 with free P&P.

As you can see, it won't go under and when measured the lift is sitting just over 16cm high, so in the process of manufacturing some three inch mini ramps.

As and when I get them done and work permitting will give it a try and see how we get on lifting the car up.

## Update, Mr Oskar has replied to my rant and apologises given for the height problem and would a £30.00 reduction in price be acceptable, well why not as I cant ne bothered packing it all up again for the couriers to collect and take back ##
