Day before yesterday I had just unloaded wood from the 2a, and I noticed the County had a lean. Closer examination showed the RH back tyre was flat. So I pulled out the hydraulic jack and started to jack it up. Jack only went up about four inches (10cm). Not enough.
Down to the shed and get another jack. Jacked it up, put the spare on, put the flat tyre back on the wheel carrier - and put the spare out of the 2a in the back. I'm not driving into town without a spare!
Then took the jack to the shed to top up the fluid. I don't know what happened to it - must be a very slow leak, because there is no sign of it. Took me ten minutes to get the plug out, less than five minutes to top it up - and over half an hour to get the plug back in! Then checked its operation and put the tools away.
I don't know the antecedents of the jack - it came with the car 26 years ago, but is not the standard one. I prefer an under axle jack anyway!
Careful examination of the tyre shows no visible damage.

Its a “The Long Ranger” by Out of Town 4WD , I think it’s the 2nd tank they have done for the OEM tow bar. There were a couple of things I’m going to get back to them about. Minor things, but would make things easier.

Hi I purchased a 110 TD5 from the auctions last month and made my own kahn defender.
I tried to get hold of a puma bonnet but ended up making my own. I sprayed the car with raptor coating and
today I finally received my new steel wheels with 265/75/16 tyres . Please let me know what you think.
