    A new scissor jack - could it be good for a Disco?

    Just received this info from South Africa on a "new" design for a scissor jack which might be good for Discos.
    Thoughts????

    Do not know how low the Disco jacking points are with a flat tyre and air suspension stuck on low .... but I think it would be good on our camper!

    It couldn't be any worse than the POS jack that comes with the D3/4.

    It certainly looks more substantial.

    Price shipped to Aust is US$315.
    Freight is the killer at US$235.

    9kg so is fairly solid. A group buy would help make freight manageable

    And the L322 RR.

    But why not just buy an hydraulic jack? For the L322, the Mercedes Sprinter jack is recommended. Might also suit the D3/4.

    Or D2, which stores on it's side and helpfully leaks its oil out prior to the first time you need it.

    Good lift height, rated for 2t as well, not a bad option
