I have one of those horrid blue and silver alloy jacks but it is leaking fluid all over the place and slowly goes down. Any recommendations for a good jack suitable for a Lotus and small/light enough to go into the boot. Sensible prices please, I only change wheels and do basic servicing on my cars.
I’ve got one of those pathetic blue and silver jacks too… and a pool of fluid to accompany it !
I use one of these on my Elise with a dense foam pad on top, folds flat to go in the boot and lifts a side at a time with no problem on the central jacking point. Nothing to leak either !

I have a blue and silver jack from Costco that’s brilliant…and no pool of fluid and it’s been used a lot! Same one?
Mine is the same as the Eliseparts one but it did not come from them. I have read of several people having them leak, mine falls apart as well.
My blue/silver light weight alloy jack does exactly the same as above (leaks & falls to bits) 
can’t remember where I got it from…
After my lightweight jack leaked, I bought one of these: 2.5 Ton Lightweight Aluminium Chassis Racing Trolley Jack
After a similar experience I’ve just bought one of these from Screwfix - but I haven’t used it yet so cannot comment how good it is. But, it does come in a plastic carrying case that makes it quite portable.
