Hey just looking at your photo's there David and that jack that folded on you is different than mine, are the jacking points different on the FL than PF or that jack you have is from an A4. The jacking point has some steel in it and the locator on the jack has a magnet so it's easier to keep it in the jacking point. Not that it makes much difference as the 8 ones fold aswell, but i don't think that's the jack for the car.

The reason i used the SAAB jack was the 9000 is similar in weight to the 8 and it has a flat surface on top for bolting your locator to, i did have another but i think it came from an Astra so didn't thnk it would be up to it. Just be careful brothers, don't make the same mistake Audi did.
Had a quick look on ebay and there are a couple of 9000 jacks for sale, also scissor type jacks with a 1.5 ton rating but same problem with modifing it to suit the cars jacking point.
