Would you believe it for some reason the good people of Land Rover have stuck a page on it in the owners handbook.

No but if you look hard enough, I'm sure you'll find at least a link to one somewhere in this forum.

Never,but then I've always jacked up on level ground. I'd use it if on a slope or uneven ground.

Somehow I don't think he is sincere about appreciating our advice

Used my 21 year old jack today to jack up the car of all things and guess what, I used the chock too.

In all seriousness the bottle jack supplied with my 200tdi as standard is a great tool.
