It should be under the passengers seat next to the battery (it is on our 90 & 110)

Now that we've put in a dual battery system we were wondering whether we should get a better jack, watching this thread now to see if anyone has any suggestions

Yesss, well, having used the space for a second battery, as most do, my jack now has nowhere to live, got left in the rear tub, and then decided to go rusty on me :mad:
So I'm up for sugestions on where to now store the jack, and posibilities of which new jack to buy.

I know you have seen mine but for other members...
I also have batteries under the passenger so had to move the jack.
It now lives under the drivers seat with the air compressor accessed via a side door.
The electrics that did live there now reside in an Ex-box:)

Mine is located inside the rear passenger door. Attached to the box that the rear seats are on. This is a great location and i thought that it was standard until reading this thread.

That's where the Tdi ones are too, but my jack died early on and was replaced by an 5 (or is it 8?) tonne Armstrong jack I had, that only just fits under the axle tubes when you get a flat......:angel:

Mines behind the rear seat on the passenger side. I can take a pic tomorrow if you like. I also have a high mount attached to the roll bar between the cab and tray.

Cheers

We 90 owners don't have the options of the 110 &130s.:p
I moved mine just behind the drivers seat. Even if the back is fully loaded, I can just flip the seat forward to access the jack.
There is always the hilift on the roof when we go away too.:D
