Which bottle jack.

So still getting to grips with the new Disco 3. Todays head scratcher is wheel changing. I will go under tomorrow to locate the jacking points. I am only talking emergency jacking at this point.
I have been reading that the scissor jack supplied is not fit for purpose, and that I should carry a bottle jack instead.
So any ideas which type of bottle jack is correct for the emergency wheel change scenario ?

I bought a Mercedes sprinter jack off eBay. I did the simple mod to remove the "saddle" and replace with 2 large square washers with slightly widened holes (used a step drill).

Tested it out and it all seems fine, I left the car on the jack for about hour and it didn't drop.

Ill try to take a picky tomorrow as im working on the car a bit.
