Default hydraulic jack

I've been looking for a hydraulic jack for use on the zed, but I hv read somwhere the clearance under the zed is only about 100mm.
is this true? if so where could I find one that will fit under our car?

I can't remember the brand of mine (nothing on it) but I bought it when I had the MX-5 which was lower than the Zed. Just take a tape measure with you and check the minimum height they'll go down to. All the usual places, Super Cheap, Repco, Big W etc

Hey Apsilon, I have one as well but I'm not sure how/where to put it to lift the Zed and not damage anything. What do you do (and have you done it without any damage)?

Don't the same points for jacking the car up with the supplied jack, work with the hydraulic?

Havent seen the stock jack yet, does it go on the ridge of metal like other cars?

The first time I jacked my car up I found this thread very useful

Haven't used it on the Zed yet (I'm getting old, I drive to a friends workshop and use the hoist these days). I'd say the crossmember for the front and the diff for the rear. They're pretty typical jacking points. Check the manual though just in case I'm wrong.
