They aren't suited to workshop use, and I wouldn't use one to change a wheel as they cannot be left unattended with a load on. But for what they're intended for they're a very handy piece of kit.

agreed!

Didn't read the destructions  :lol: :lol:


I have changed a wheel by jacking the back of the car with a hi lift  on the tow hitch then adding stands before removing the wheel..

Range Rover Blues:
300 Discos and Softie RRC have a Hi-Lift socket inside the over riders on the fornt bumper, similar to those included on the Defender.  At he back you can buy a socket for the towbar or stick the foot of the jack under the towbar.

As siad aboe though, they are about as stable as the Windows operating platform, more so if used unwisely.

Ey up lads

Im not buying one, ive got one i use with the series 111. Most usefull thing ive got.

i use it for pulling stumps, winching caravan up hills, getting out of ruts as well as jacking in mud (not nice with a bottle jack)

it just seems silly not to be able to use it with the disco.

Range Rover Blues:
Well as I said, the 300 Series have a reciever inside the over-rider or you can buy a bumper adapter for the high lift, a wheel adapter, rock sliders and a towbar mount.


You can also buy jack-mates that bolt tot he chassis at the fornt and provide recovery eyes, hi-lift points and even a front tow-bar.
