I think I'm correct in saying that it's a bit different on a saloon to the estate, Paul.

On the saloon it is possible to position the jack slightly offset so that the handle goes up between the spare wheel well and the tank, thus giving you enough space to pump the handle up and down. It's still quite tight for space untill the car is raised up enough.

Can't remember how I used to raise the rear on my Estate, but I do recall that that space isn't there!

PS: So grateful to the guy on this forum who sold me some new bumper corners to replace the horrible mess in the photo!
