Tell me about it David! Last Saturday I was changing a burst tyre on the hard shoulder of the M1 with myself squashed against the barrier (it was a narrow hard shoulder by the way, I'm not THAT fat
) and I slackened the bolts, raised the car, had second thoughts and lowered it, then repositioned the jack and raised it again! I wanted the wheel off and the spare fitted in the quickest possible time and then get out of there. I've had two Audi OEM jacks "fall over" on me on relatively level ground so know the danger of using them in less than perfect conditions, this time I had no option but to go for it and thankfully it went well
