Lifting the beast

gumbo-xx · Mar 1, 2010

Hi everybody

I'm new to this Landrover business so i would like to ask a dumb question!!!!

I want to lift my series 3 swb for general repairs and the odd wheel and tyre change but can't find a jack that raises high enough (can't see how or where a farm jack sits under). I know there is one out there just need a pointer in the right direction.

Many Thanks

Paul

hi lift sits under the bumper or rear crossmember. OR you can buy an adaptor that fits in the standard jacking points.

Or you could wack a trolley jack or a bottle jack under the axle.

Bumper it is then :doh:

Or hook an engine crane round the bumper and lift it pretty much as high as you want.

i use trolley jack for Taking tyres off and parts if working under car i put axle stands as well just to be safe. Trolley jack gets it plenty high enough.
