I have a superb Trolly Jack but after all these years its finally given up the lift!

Anyone know of anywhere in essex that can fix them or would i be better off cutting my ties with the 30yr old lift and get a new one?

Buy a new one ! tight git...

It's like parting with an old friend haha!

If it lasted that long then it's probably worth fixing

just some more oil and o-rings perhaps?

Is it just not going up?

Rise at all. It was about 150quid 30years ago so it's a pukka jack but finding someone to fix it is like gettig blood out a stone
