Current best jack ?

Hi.

I probably need to get a jack for general maintenance and and roadside puncture repair.

I know sprinter jacks are popular but you need a "widget for the end, has anyone made those commercially available? (I know ill not get round to having one made)

Also I see some recomend a machine mart /screw fix trolley jack that fits under the seats. is that workable (any pics appreciated).


Anything else out there that works? Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2

Sprinter Jack fits nicely in the cubby hole (with a small amount of modification)
The only Mods needed for the jack to function under the chassis lifting points are a large washer / plate to spread the load and a split pin to retain the washer when retracting the piston

I've got a trolley jack from machine mart for home use, but this is WAY too heavy to be lugged in & out of the car 2000 D2 TD5 - big red tractor (2004-2007)
2006 D3 - sadly missed (2007-2012)
2010 D4 - lovely colour Nara Bronze (2012-2018)
2016 D4 - best of the bunch (2018-2024)
2022 DiscoSport 45mpg, but its not a D4 (2024.......)

Disco 1 bottle jack under the suspension arms is good/fast for wheel changes/pads etc, its small and compact and like the merc jack comes with a decent handle, just remember to use an axle stand when doing brakes etc.
