Drivers side rear flat as a pancake.
I carry a small 2 tonne trolley jack, and am am glad I do as the supplied jack seems rather small and frail. Jacking the car with that alone would be quite a task
I decided to put the trolley jack under the rear suspension close to the wheel, but with the tyre being flat there was insufficient clearance. Raising the air suspension did the trick and I was able to fit the jack in, couple of pumps on the jack and the wheel lifted ready for removal.
With the vehicle raised I slipped the standard jack in the chassis jacking point as an extra precaution. Lowering the spare on its steel cable and unhooking it is a bit fiddly as the wheel is bulky and heavy.
I would not like to be in the position of having to change the wheel using the standard jack alone.
