bottle jacks are good I use one, have trolleys too but as you say not good for lugging around.

you could also try the "hi lift jack" but again stowing it in the car can be a pain, bottle jacks go in the seat box.

from time to time the "proper" shelley screw jacks - similar size to bottle - come up on ebay fairly cheaply with the long handle that attaches to clips on the bulkhead behind the seats. my s1 has that

Hi-Lift Jack Company - Highest quality equipment at a reasonable price

do an ebay search on "shelley jack" to see the vintage ones I was talking about, there are a few on there that don't have the handles but also a few handles from other sellers.

Hi lifts are crap and dangerous for wheel changes at the side of the road. Especially if it's a back as the cross member is sloping.

My s3 88" has one of the proper shelly type screw jacks, fits under the seat nicely

The type for land rovers are listed here (theres 2 or 3 suitable ones) with typical prices, will get a photo of mine up tomorrow, it needs a clean anyway

I carry a small 2 t0n trolley jack and a few blocks of wood. Had loads of punctures but never a problem lifting my 109 Station Wagon.

Small 2 ton Halfrauds hydraulic bottle jack and a block of wood fits under the seat. I use it for punctures (regularly...) It is small enough to pop on the spring plate with a flat tyre on the 88" without the wood.

I have a trolley jack & a hi lift. Had to use them both together once when I lost a rear wheel the day after my 109 was MOT'd
