The smaller reach jacks will do the front wheels of the XC60, but not enough to get the rears off the ground. You need approx. 450-460mm for that. The XC60 has also twisted my 2T Halfords trolley jack, so 3T is a must.
The V70 sits about 140mm to the sill jacking point, but if you want to lift under the subframe, then you need a jack with a minimum height 125-130mm.
In the end, I went for an SGS 3T low profile/high lift jack at £119.99. Quickest delivery was via eBay (ordered Saturday, due Tuesday). Same price as SGS directly via website. Lift range is 98-535mm, which will suit my needs well. I’ll use an ice hockey puck with a slot, which is 24mm high and 10mm deep slot. This will likely suit my future needs for all cars.
Next purchase will be some better axle stands, but that will have to wait. I’ve spent a bloody fortune online during lockdown.
