Thread: Bottle Jack ...... Any good?

Might not get the wheel off the ground.... I think you need one that can raise to a height of +400mm

have another look here:

Storing it on it's side may cause a problem with leaking. Best off being stored upright if possible.

Does it say anywhere on the box what the fully extended/retracted heights are?

EDIT It does say, I missed the second picture.

I've ordered a Merc Sprinter jack from a wrecker.

Hopefully it's exactly the same as the one in the failed group buy. Awaiting delivery in the next couple of days.

Which fits perfectly in the useless storage space for the back seats

Might work on the suspension but unlikely to be high enough under the chassis jacking points.

Suspension? I do not understand garry

Pretty cool trick when you lift it that way without removing the fuse.....once you get it started the wheel will lift by itself.
