I've referred to the discovery2.co.uk website on several occasions and noticed recently that it was mentioned that the original (red) bottle jack should never be used - he was quite adamant! Now, I'm very careful when I jack-up the car (there's a good reason and it goes back a while!) and I will never reach underneath with a jack only; I only use a jack for a wheel change (flat tyre).
The red bottle jack provided is still original (sits in the engine bay next to the ECU). After use I usually give it a clean and I have never had any problems to date. Even though it looks in good nick it is pretty old now I guess and I just wondered what others thought about it - safety and reliability wise? Any comments?
