A genuine mini jack is like gold to find dude.
Funny shaped prong looking thing that inserts into the sill of the car and jack both front and rear wheels up at the same time.
Maybe one of the guys that has one can post a pic for you.

This is the jack I bought only to find out my sill holes are vertical not horizontal, who wants to swap?
Now the question is: are the wheel nuts 18mm as even this spanner is a bit loose.
