Hi Guys

I've had a search of the forum after having a nightmare trying to jack my car up using the jack in the boot. Looking at investing in a proper trolley jack as a result (Clarke CTJ3000G seems to be highly recommended on here). I've seen a lot of posts about jacking adapters in group buys and at one point available on eBay - does anyone know of somewhere to get hold of these now that the group buys are gone? I'd feel much safer lifting it up with one!

Thanks

Nathan

I need one too

I'm interested also.

The real problem with the provided jack is not so much getting it up in the air, but when it gives way.

Note to all: Do not trust the provided jack.

I have the Clarke jack you mention and have been meaning to get hold of an adapter for it. It works fine without one though so don't wait to get one for that though. Since I rarely use the actual jacking points, I suppose it would not be of much use to me anyway.

Would be a good idea to get a bottle jack to keep in the car too.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can get a Clarke trolley jack adapter?

Regards,

Hi, I bought one of these adapters on eBay for £8 last year and also a Draper 4 Tonne bottle jack which fits in the boot under the floor and have jacked the car up a few times very well.

The adapter is CNC machined and has a protruding pin that sits in the hole on the chassis member but i've had a look and can't see them available any more.

Could be easy enough to get one made up though.

And as others have said, don't trust the scissor jack!!!!!

Hope that helps 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Jack it up under a wishbone front or rear using a trolley jack or a decent bottle jack.

The OP could take a copy of this drawing to a local engineering shop and request they make him one up in stainless, aircraft grade aluminium or boring old steel. If he was to have several made there is a healthy demand on this forum.



Located in the trolley jack like this when the cup is lifted out:

Now that is one clean Jack Paddi, not seen much use. Have you had it detailed its cleaner than my car  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Sadly those pictures were plagiarised from an old Disco 3 thread. Be assured my own 3 ton SGS trolley jack is covered in dust dirt and grease just as it should be. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Beware of cheap alloy ones that are prone to snap apparently.
