    Yeah, as somone said a min ago, they had the Screw type jacks.

    I have one myself. I hate it! Takes ages to raise it. If it had a crank handle instead of that stupid bit of wood to turn on, it wouldn't be so bad.

    I will be getting a bottle jack soon myself, and maybe weld a bit of bent steel rod onto the ram for the axle to sit on, like the standard jacks that come in the later Land Rovers.

    These original LR jacks, i have never seen one. Are they a two stage type?
    I have a supercrap one and it just fits when the tire is flat and just gets it high enough when the ground is hard. So am looking for something better.
    I have the county high lift one but it doesn't fit under the tray at the back.
    Are two stage hydraulic jacks available anywhere?

    I disagree.
    Stupid wind up pieces of poo poo.
    Mine let me down - wouldn't wind up - just slipped.
    That's why I carry a trolley jack.

    But i have learnt a couple of things from this thread.

    So are you saying that if I engage the diff lock (with engine running) and then switch off the engine, the diff lock is still engaged?
    If so, that's great!

    Does it bleed down at all, or is vacuum needed to disengage it?
