Got mine from sgs engineering. Do a few different ones and had longer warranty than most places I looked.

Difficult to provide a link if Costco don't list it on their site  And if Fire picked it up a while ago then i very much doubt Costco even stock it now anyway.
For reference however, the Arcan 1.8t is £120 - http://www.costco.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/cos_8,cos_8.5,cos_8.5.10/107255.
Jed - Worth having a scout in Costco if one is near by, alternatively Machine Mart it.

Link Dom posted is the one they've had in Glasgow for at least the past year. They had a chunkier model before but that was a while ago.

Bought mine from machine mart.
It's made by Clarke, and is low profile.
It's had lots of use, would recommend. Was around £130

I have this....
http://www.sgs-engineering.com/hydraulic-jacks/trolley-jacks/tja125-aluminium-trolley-jack
Was on offer when i got it, paid about £83 all in. Does the job just fine, and has nice low entry. And is also pretty lightweight which was a plus point as i needed something i could keep in the car.
Have heard some good things about the Clarke jacks, but have probably heard more bad things about them which is why i stayed away from them.

Arcan one currently in Costco is £112 just now, seen it again today, think I'll eventually just get it, my other one is broken.

Scrap that, mine collapsed today, fluid everywhere.

I still go under even my failing jack, just needs about 12 inches of blocks of wood to jack up.

Iv got a blue point one it's a low level one and in about 4 pumps it's up in the air was 180 quid I think that's a good price to be fair, massive handle on it with protective foam etc
