Does anyone have a farm jack cluttering up the shed in exchange for beer vouchers? Recent experience of changing a wheel on a hill, on wet cobbles, convinces me I could make use of one.

Hmmmm. On a hill, on wet cobbles is not a good spot for a farm jack either ! Not the most stable way to lift a landy. A 3 or 4 Tonne Bottle jack and a bit of board as a "spreader" base will be easier to stow and more stable in action. ( Elf and Safety...)

    My choice would be 3 ton trolley jack. Chock the front or rear wheels securely with proper chocks tied to the wheels. Chock as many wheels as you can.

    When she rises the chocks will help hold her. Rather than axle stands on hill I use railway sleeper cut into 14 inch blocks. Fire her into low box and in gear too.

get yourself down to the scrappy and find a bottle jack from a disco, its got a nice hook on top that fits the axle of a series/defender nicely,should be loads out there, for much cheapness!!!!
