Robbie - that 2 ton bottle jack - is it sufficient for a D4?
I know I've read on here that the supplied LR jack is and although I've not needed to use it (and hope it will be some time before I do) it'll be good to know that the jack hiding away in the cubby hole can actually do that job.Uncle Ray's spare wheel protector

My clip is now being used as a handy hook.
I couldn't believe how big the jack was when it landed. It's had too much use though lately!2011 D4 SDV6 HSE

they do some crackin stuff...including gas struts
They rebuilt the gas struts for my toolbox a few months ago. Turned up (I don't live that far from them), waited 30 minutes, two new struts for circa £40 (I seem to recall).
They do struts for car boots, bonnets, caravans windows ................ anything. They have a specification build page on their web site. Superb service.
Drove past the other day and they are busy constructing a new building alongside their current gaff - it's mahoosive "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

The standard jack sits under the chassis, where as the 2T bottle jack wouldn't extend high enough for that.
I think Robbie's intended use for the 2T bottle jack would be under the wishbone for an emergency wheel change.

Yes, that's what I was thinking of using it for - emergency wheel change - instead of using the LR jackUncle Ray's spare wheel protector
