Disco 2 Hydraulic Jack seals

Hi, The under bonnet Jack which came with my Disco 2 has blown the seals (after being used about 5 times) and will no longer raise the car. Anybody know where I can buy a new set of seals for it. The Landrover dealer doesn't service the Jacks, and wants an arm and a leg for a new one. It says it's a 2 tonne model made in Italy by CORAM of Cologne but I've searched the web and can't find either the manufacturer or any retailer or dealer. I could buy a different brand for less than a quarter of the price the LR dealer is asking for a new one, but of course it wouldn't then fit under the bonnet. Any suggestions greatfully received. Regards Rob

Hi Rob,

I am pretty sure a two tonne bottle jack would fit under the bonnet. I will check later today that my two tonne one fits.

There are usually a load of these on eBay for sale, they generally go pretty cheap.

Thanks for the replies. Needs to be a fairly squat type with a relatively high lift. I've tried a couple of 2 t smalll truckers jacks which have enough lift but are about an inch too high when fully down. A matter of searching one out I guess. Seems a shame that the original can't be fixed.

Please don't top post.

Try taking it to a local hydraulic specialist, they should be able to repair it for you.

There are currently 5 Land Rover bottle jacks on Ebay, the cheapest being £1.00 so far.

Hardly worth bothering repairing yours!

Problem is I am in Australia. Postage would be high. No LR Jacks on Ebay in Australia. Went there first. Thanks Rob

I'd suggest taking the rams to a hydraulic jack repair shop. Not sure where in Oz you are, but there's a damn good one here in Brisbane - if he can't find seals to fit he'll machine up new rams for you to suit locally available ones & not charge an arm & a leg. Elliot Hydraulics in Marooka; I've used them several times myself.

I'd be very surprised if this cheap, mass produced, bottle jack didn't use standard seals.
