    D5 Jack

    Is it the same as the D4? I.e. some owner may purchase a bottle jack and need an adaptor?

    My D5 is making its way to Australia still so I can't check, but from the manual I'd say it looks familiar:

    That's a little disappointing...... but at least it has significantly less to lift....

    Good lord, For such a highly advanced 4WD to be equipped with this stupid jack is very unremarkable.

    I don’t know how they get away with it with the safety regs these days.
    I also can’t see it being fit for purpose.

    Doesn't look that way from the manual, in another 2 months I should be able to tell for sure if there even is a hole in the chassis.

    Yes the chassis holes on the D4 are for the OEM scissor jack. The bottle jack adapter simply provides the same pin size as OEM jack.

    Yep understand that for the D4.....my question was in relation to the D5, the pic in post 2 doesn’t show a lug on top of the scissor jack that would located into a hole in the chassis.

    I am interested in this as well as I would rather use abottle jack than standard one.
    The jacking point is completely different to D3/4, it consistsof a lug (suspect made of steel) parallel to the body which is about 100 mmlong, 25 mm high, with a maximum thickness of 15 mm with a slight taper androunded bottom with a 10 mm slot in the middle.
    The top of the jack is about 55 mm square with asemi-circular channel in the middle which is about 20 mm wide and about 5 mm ora bit deeper. The lug sits in this channel when jacking the car.
    One thing is any adapter should ensure it doesn’t putsidewise force on the lug as it could damage the body.
    I did a bit of a test and to lift the rear wheel about 6 mmoff the ground had to lift from 350 mm to 470 mm that you would means a bottlejack would have to have a 120 mm hydraulic lift and maximum height close to 470mm, and in the past, I have found it’s hard to find a jack with those specs,maybe others know where ones are available.
    At home I have a 2500 kg trolley jack and like with the D3it should just has enough lift to get the back wheel off the ground and shouldbe able use jacking points.
    I think an adapter could be made, but it’s getting the jackmaybe the problem.
