Hi,
yep, that is what I was doing, BUT-

"Always chock the wheels using the wheel chocks from the tool kit. Place the chocks on both sides of the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.

If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope is unavoidable, place the chocks on the downhill side of the two opposite."

had me looking for 2 chocks, and presumed that perhaps the Australian version didn't come with any.

Like I said - never seen one like that before and didn't have a clue what it was.

Thanks to the forum, I have been informed.

cheers

I dunno, I'm not too impressed by the hydraulic jack.
IIRC it's just a cheap Italian jobby and mine failed pretty early on.
It obviously only needs a seal kit, but I had an 8 tonne/higher lift Armstrong (made in Taiwan) jack that has been used and abused for nearly twenty years so just replaced it with that.

I have a bottle jack in the back of the 130 comes secured with rubber straps.
I am not sure that I would want to use it though looks weedy
