Machine Mart Jacks

Need to buy a jack... this would be sufficient right? I've seen discussions online talking about the advantages of getting a Discovery jack with the curved top rather than the tiny little head on this one, but it's only for changing flats. £30 is cheap as hell. They even do a 2-tonne jack for £18

I have carried and used the 2 ton one for many years. Fits behind the center seat along with a thick square of plywood to sit it on. Welded a U curved strip of steel on top of the screw out section. Would be rather dodgy without I recon.

Perfect, thanks matey.

Carry a piece of wood to put on top of it to stop it slipping.

As it is songle stage it might not have the range of lift to get a flat axle high enough to put an inflated spare on, a block of wood to run the flat wheel onto before removal would give you the extra height.

Yup, old caravan trick use the leveling ramp under the punctured wheel to lift it before putting the jack under.
