Currently using the £25 halfords 2T jack, but it's not giving me enough lifting distance.  I'd really like to get the car higher on the axle stands so I'd like a new jack.

 

What can you recommend that won't break the bank?

Actually, I'm thinking of putting in a general tool order from Amazon.  What do people think of these:
