When you lift your car, do it safely with redundant safeties.

It only seems to be when at idle.
Yes, Safety was the first thing I took care of. It was only yesterday morning that I picked up a new set of 4wd ramps to do the engine mounts as mine were rusty and I just couldn't take the risk, I also had, under both sides 3 large blocks of train sleepers just incase, and had a manual (non fluid) jack under the engine and even then I was in and out as quickly as possible.
Sad news I read on the forum today about the young man who lost his life to a failing jack.
My w124 rolled off a jack stand a few months ago as I was jacking up the other side to place the second jack in position. Those plastic lift points really are a recipe for disaster. Still haven't used stands yet, just the ramps until I hear of a better/safer place to put them.
