+1 on the bottle jack, and a decent bit of wood to put it on, an off-cut off a joist from a building site perhaps, say 8" x 8" x 2".

Too keep in the land rover for emergencies:
a land rover bottle jack from a range rover or discovery (a quick google will show you what I mean, these have a curved top to grip the beam axle rather than a small flat circle a lot of bottle jacks have)
a three foot breaker bar,
a 27mm deep impact socket.
This will all fit behind the seat between, the seat and the bulkhead in a hardtop (this is where I keep mine)
To keep in the garage at home for every other time you will need to lift the vehicle, a trolley jack similar to the one posted by @Beneagles

It is indeed but for the price of them you have another one in your tool box so you don't have to keep fishing around behind the seat!
For me the items I have listed are completely stand alone and never leave the land rover. I have duplicates in the garage for other work required apart from the bottle jack which is replaced with a proper trolley jack.

Pre-production 110, would be interested to know the registration prefix of this one. In the photo the front wing has a 1983-2015 decal on, which is a bit confusing!1981 110?

+1, also use the retractable handle to tighten the nuts, have checked with a torque wrench and is spot on what is called for with one neilly / handle torques.
Cheers
I'm only 21 so don't understand how the 'old style plates' work haha! it starts with A, has three numbers, then three letters ending in D.
You're right, it is actually '83. not sure where i got 81 from!

That makes more sense, first year of production OneTens. Nice bit of history there.
