Jelly Ben Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi, recently got my first Land Rover Series 3 109, but it did not have a jack with it. Can anyone tell me where I can get my hands on one and how much it will cost? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Do you have any details of make and model of the correct jack? I have one which came with some Series 3 parts and I think it's the original LR jack. If it is it's yours for £10. Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi Jelly, I wouldn't bother with the correct jack if I was you, they were a really awful screw type, very unstable and broke very easily, much better to invest in a Hi Lift type jack, Genuine 4ft Hi Lifts are available from around £40- 45, there are also cheaper copies available, have a look in any of the Land Rover mags.

rapier rob Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Or if you didn't fancy something big like a farm jack, go for a 2 ton bottle jack with a piece of scaffolding board to stop it sinking in the mud or soft tarmac. You can pick them up in halfords for peanuts. I wouldn't bother with the original land rover jack, they can be a pain to use if you don't have the correct handle.

andreadavide Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I agree 100%, on my Rover 8 the screw jack is kept only for display purposes. In the event of a flat tyre I'd use the bottle jack. I don't agree with the use of hi-lifts however because they can drop the car in a very spectacular and dangerous way.... Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
