Spent the day at Blair. Wet Wet Wet!!! But cross-country jumps were enormous, the riding fantastic and the falls scary!!! Disco made a dreich day enjoyable for all five of us in our wellies and leggings. Took a picnic and lots of flasks of tea. Met a lovely German family from Hamburg in the next car. Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

From now on I'm going to say "we live a mile up a green lane" rather than a dirt track! Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

WOW.
Shame I cant fit ^^^^^this ramp on my driveway....
I was servicing hand break pads and replacing rear break pads. Awkward position to be in for 3hours.
Ramp like this would be a dream come true.
No children were harmed during breaks servicing.
BTW - it is good to train them from young age. We might have 2 discos at home in 10 years or so Disco 3 HSE (55) - gone

Dadon,
No wonder you were in an awkward position for 3 hours,
Only my opinion but
I'd have had the axle stand further back.
What if your jack collapsed? The weight of a D3 would have certainly knackered your discs
But I'd say still safer than the 2 post ramp with the seat under the D3

Thanks for your concerns. I have dropped jack once like this but jack was in place so no drama. I wanted as much space to work with as possible. Stands are 2.5 T each and Jack is 3T, BUT you never know.
For your info... its not me in the picture

I always have the stands further back and I've never had an issue with it.
