Another Series bottle jack ?!
Welcome to the forum , I am guessing you haven’t introduced yourself . Do not be surprised if you get a bit of flak from some the less polite members here . They are usually only allowed access to their computers between medication and are often not supervised .

Do the same as u would do before Forum’s... get a similar item Simples... or carry a trolley jack.

The original series Jack was a screw affair. I bought a cheap 3 ton bottle jack off eBay for carrying around in me landy. The problem is that I can't be arsed carrying a spare wheel so the Jack is academic.

After getting a puncture in a field I discovered that you need about 15" of lift to change a wheel on a series. My bottle jack took 3 lifts with blocks cobbled from stuff i could find. Came home and bougth a Disco double hight jack off e-bay. Its small and has a cradle end to sit on the axles. One like this:

BUT! Make sure you get the handles as these seem to sell for as much as the jacks!

Yes , top up using an oil can through the rubber bung orifice half way up the jack.

I have a Disco one as well, found it in a scrapper. No handle could I find though but I made one with a bit of pipe. Never had to use it so it's good to know that it works on a series. Find yourself a nice bit of thick ply to stand it on ready for soft ground.

Many thanks for the advice, really appreciated. I have ordered an old Disco one, with handle from eBay.
