Seeing as the threads been revived I should probably update... I ended up getting impatient that weekend and decided I couldn't wait for Internet delivery as I wanted to use some time I had that day. Ended up at halfords and went for their low level jack as I could walk away with it there and then plus it came with a set of free axel stands, which was a bonus.
It's probably not the world's best but I hav used it a few times now and its done the job. It's not going to get used too often due to my basic mechanical capabilities (I'm much more comfortable driving it than tinkering with it!).
The only downside I can mention (and i doubt any jack would have provided a different outcome to be fair) was that in order for me to me able to achieve one of the tasks I had set out to complete, I needed a much higher lift than a jack and axel stands provided.
