Hi folks, just realised when I needed to change a rear wheel, that the jacking hole is partially blocked by the Bumperettes I fitted some time ago doh !! The question is, is there an adaptor for the standard jack to overcome this problem ?
Cheers
 
It would be better to get a bottle jack or trolley jack. Much more practical than the standard defender jack and more stable, all jacks considered. I nearly lost my 90 to falling off one of the standard jacks first time I used it!:oops:

A pair of axle stands are a good idea too.

Cheers for the advice, I've got a trolley jack and axle stands at home. It's just when I'm on the move that I'd use the standard jack as it tucks away nicely behind the seats.
 
No worries. A bottle jack might still fit between the front seats and centre bulkhead though...
 
The discovery bottle jack is the way to go.
The disco jacks are two stage so will fit under the axle if the tyre is totally flat, and the second stage will lift the axle high enough to fit an inflated wheel/tyre.
The main advantage with the bottle jack is you are not relying on the potentially rusty chassis, especially the rear x member.
Second advanatge is you do not have to lift the free play out of the suspension to get the axle high enough to fit the wheel.

Presumably the same item as found in the RR classic ?
