Thread: silly question

I picked up my 110 only a few weeks ago and had an auxiliary battery set up put in straight away. It went in under the front passenger seat with the main battery. As a result the bottle jack and its friends have been displaced of a home. Does anyone have a good storage solution? I will double check but I think my bottle jack is black.

Regards,

does one normally find the jack under their seat...or is this a Deefer thing?

I'm guessing it is a Deefer thing. My old D1 had the jack and associated parts in the lockers in the boot.

Cheers,

Danial.

Mate I have a puma and it came with a ratchet not a bottle jack so we are both wrong hey there must of been a change somewhere down the line.

It appears 2010 onward (or thereabouts) have bottle jacks, but as always with Land Rover it could be a random thing! Bottle jacks, associate handles and wheel brace are always under the passenger seat.

My old 1997 300Tdi 90 came with a ratchet arrangement (180 degrees left and right on the jack action) which strapped sideways to the front cab/ rear cab bulkhead. The coils were so soft that you would jack the bumper about 400mm into the air before the wheel even looked like coming off the ground!

Not recommended, but Hi-lift and axle stands were the preferred operation to change wheels on that one! (young and silly/reckless back in those days!)

Nothing beats the old trolly for a quick wheel swap at home though!
