Does anyone use a large bottle jack on their RR ? I've ordered the Clarke 3-tonne trolley jack, but like the look of the large bottle jacks too. They seem to offer far superior lifting capability, which reassures me with a 2.5 tonne vehicle. The only issue I could see is that as the chassis is raised, it's angle relative to the top of the bottle jack will change slightly, so it's not directly over the top, which might in an extreme case cause it to get pushed out
If it had some sort of cap that fitted over the top,and then into the chassis locating holes it would be much more secure.

What do you use ?

A bottle jack is great to have in the car (the provided jack is made of sponge cake) but you'll be best sticking with the trolley jack for maintenance. I have the Clarke heavy duty 3 ton jack too (the quick lift one is not up to the job).  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

To safely locate the trolley jack you really need to source a jack adapter. See this thread for an explanation and a drawing you can give to a local engineering shop so they can turn one up for you.

SGS Engineering sell some nicely made 3 ton jack stands at a decent price.
