Car jack warning

An air jack like those inflatable baloon types? IF they are the ones I'm thinking of I thought they were a major "no no" for changing a wheel no matter where you are.

My understanding of this was due to punctures which happen frequently or if they aren't used properly and deflation via the hose occurs.

Can be used for punctures but need to be set up properly. They come with protection mats but I also use the rubber mats from the front of the D3.
I also use an aluminium axle stand as insurance.

IMO they would be safer than the D3 scissor stand.

You need to make sure you put the jack in the hole in the chassis not the cover for the compressor. (easily confused) If you get it wrong you can snap the compressor bracket or even the compressor.

U mean I'm not the only one who's done this?:angel:

:Rolling:

I havn't done it myself due to reading some cautionary tales on disco3.co.uk
but I did lower the D3 straight onto a rock and cracked the plasic cover.
