I have used the supplied jack a few times whilst off road on uneven surfaces and have every confidence in it although the brace has been replaced with a socket and strong arm.

Jamo,
My hydraulic jack came with a D1 years ago, it was the only fully functional part of the car. It has the longest extended hight I have seen for a small jack. When I traded it in on a Pootrole I swoped it for another one. Although the car looked pristeen the only good bit was the jack.

..it does the job very well ..when lifting on tarmac though remember to keep a piece of marine ply handy to allow the jack wheels to move with the lift of the motor ...otherwise they sink and the D3 is likely to drop off Wink


Thanks DG, I'm off to Machine Mart Smile


I've got that one too as does gilmorr - be careful though as both he and I have bent the front legs (though I have had mine replaced Whistle ) because the car shifted a tiny bit. Make sure you use the LR chocks as directed, and use the EPB and stick the jack on a piece of ply to allow it to roll freely as its lifiting.
