    L322 Car Jack warning

    Before looking at all new add ons, the first thing to do is to go to the boot of your L322, lift the lid, take out the jack and throw it in the bin. Period. I might have just saved your life. I changed a rear tyre the other day, nothing special, just prior to putting on the spare the jack collapsed, with the center thread completely bend. Luckily i was at home and have a spare jack and was not bending/ crouching near the well when it happened. But seriously, who puts a jack in a car that cannot support it's weight properly??? I love the car and fortunately there wasn't a lot of damage, but now looking at a replacement jack and thought a word of warning should be in place.

    Just check them from time to time as they have a habit of losing their oil.

    There is a tutorial in here somewhere on rebuilding them though.

    Ordered one of these:
    Trade Quip 10,000KG Bottle Jack 3 Stage

    Min height 230mm
    Max height 535 mm

    $115 will let you know how good or bad it is, can't be any worse than the original.
