Hi again folks
I have recently got my disco 1, i am changing the mud wheels over to a spare all terrain set i just bought, but cant find a jack and brace, where would it normally be located ?:behindsofa:

It is probably missing, so was thinking of buying a trolley jack, i have seen a couple of 2 tonne trolley jacks would they be upto the job for my disco

Any advice much appreciated thanks
 
That won't lift high enough I wouldn't think

I picked a hi lift up yesterday mint piece of kit and not that expensive look at paddock
 
also looking at axle stands and wheels brace,
what weight do axle stands need to take, and what size is wheel nut,

sorry to be a dumb ass :behindsofa:
 
27mm nuts

2tonne trolley jack is fine as are 2 tonne axle stands. Though I bought 3tonnes for the extra height and stability.

I've had an Halfords 2tonne car jack for years. never failed to lift all my landies disco and defenders.

Remember you're only lifting 1 corner of the vehicle not the whole thing.
