It's the piston return spring bottle clamp, only really used if the gudgeon pin circlip has become entangled in the exhaust valve relief cup.

Under normal operation the handle points downwards. Sometimes the 'head' rotates however you need to be careful of that (sorry to state the obvious but sometimes these simple things are overlooked).

That one looks like it's been used a few times so i'd check the compression ratio's carefully as soon as you can and look for signs of damage on the kettle uplift crank pulley under the exhaust. :drum:

Hope that helps :)

:hysterically_laughi that made me giggle
 
i think you will find your particular model can be operated by a knob behind the steering wheel....
 
Seriously though ZT99, it is the standard issue bottle jack that was supplied with these vehicles. However, in the engine bay with it there should be a chock as well to support one of the wheels when you use the jack. The handle is a two part piece which was supplied in a long black plastic wrap together with the wheel nut wrench. They should be located under the rear seats when you lift them up. The best thing you could do would be to get a Haynes Manual. All this stuff is in there with a lot of helpful pictures as well. My original Disco didn't have any of this so I ended up buying a second hand complete one from eBay for about £40.

I'm upset now, tossed aside I feel. After all that hard work and research I sit here in fingernaillessness gloom, despondent, inconsolable and damp as the tears run off my sleeves and slowly fill my size 9's.

How can you be so heartless, so inconsiderate, you bastard... that's just the sort of blinkered, philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for us struggling artists. You excrement! You whining, hypocritical toadie, with your expensive Discovery and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs! well I wouldn't get in your car for all the chocolate in China !!

Sorry mate but this is entirely wrong, you are talking about a DI. This guy has a DII.

The setup on a DII is: bottle jack in engine bay, under the battery cover; the tools and chock are in a zip case which normally resides in the rear door pocket.
