Can anyone help me with the pros and cons and typical tasks you would use each of the following: vehicle scissor lift, 2 post lift and inspection pit? Many thanks

Pits also offer the opportunity for the dozy type to drive a pair of wheels into . the options are usually both front wheels , both rear wheels or for top marks both wheels on one side dropping the whole car into the pit .
thankfully three wheeled cars are almost extinct but they didn't play well with pits either.
I'd agree with Ziggy, a 2-post is the best all-round option, but installing any lift at home is a challenge.
I bought one of these tilting lifts at the 2015 Classic Car show. http://www.cjautos.eu/NEW_3_IN_1_TILTING_CAR_LIFT_p/cl01.htm
Then had a heart attack before I could use it. Used it for the first time earlier this year on sister's Focus estate. Hard work lifting it, lots of winding to raise it, but once up, seems to work a treat.
Planning to use it soon to drop the rear axle out of the Panda for a de-rust and paint, hopefully before too late so preventing the need for a replacement.
The Golf Cabrio on the website looks a bit precarious![]()
