Anyone used it? Any good never had one but am on the hunt for Andys defender jack if someone wants to get rid of one
I have given up with the high lift jack. the Defender has fallen off it too many times plus I have lost loads of paint and bent panels thanks to the jack. Have gone with a hydraulic jack. Much safer, and takes up less space.
+1 for the axle lift in normal situations. The high lift is for off road only.Ahh thanks chaps, I had vaguly heard of them. Obviously the main disadvantage as with a Hi Lift is that you also have to lift the whole car until the axle lifts off the ground freeing the wheel you want to replace. I have had more than a few scarey moments over the years with the latter where as the weight on the other wheel is also radically reduced the whole vehicle can pirouet sideways !!
Yes I have always preferred lifting under the axle, first with the old screw bottle jacks on the series motors and laterly with the hydraulic jacks on my D1s and Defender
