Paul I really felt for you after reading your post, after all the times you have jacked the car up on the drive and then for this to happen but hey at least neither you or anybody else was injured, take care matey.
A friend of mine moved out to Australia and when his son was old enough to join him he thought it would be a great idea to have a car ready for his arrival so purchased a cheap run around which required a few repairs which he planned on doing himself. He used a hydraulic jack but for whatever reason did not use axle stands, you can probably guess what happens next the seals on the jack gave way bringing the car down on to him badly crushing his head, after a couple of emergency operations which at the time looked touch and go if he would even survive, thankfully he did but he is not the same person now.
Take care Paul and use the belt and braces approach, metal can be fixed humans are a little more difficuilt to fix.
