Think I have the standard 4 foot jack which I would say is fine for most vans

Beat me to it I think Jes! I was in at the death on that one! :lol: I think you need an attachment for a Land Rover - this sort of thing should do it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261106570438? ... 1438.l2648" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I borrowed one from dave at futbus when we went to France and just before we left it dawned on me that the Andreas springs etc meant it was too high for the standard jack to work. :oops: I wasn't going to carry my hi lift trolley jack with me. :roll:

They are great bits of kit though - keeping a daily eye on ebay now.

seems i got lucky, although at the overland show the red 4' hi lift was being sold new for 75. not sure what extras you would have needed (foot pad etc)
