Which Jack for a Defender?

support the head to prevent movement while taking off the helmet and fashion a neck brace to immobolise it by folding a newspaper over and wrapping it round the victims neck-- however thats one after the first aid course and please god I don't want to find out if I was paying proper attention.

That's what I was told too - hence the assistance of another person! It's a lot to do with one hand if you are stemming a large bleed with the other. As you say, hope we never need it.

Ian Hi,

I am sure you will be able to find a secondhand Disco or RaRo Classic hydraulic jack in VGC from any LR specialised scrapper/dismantler.

New one are available at any dealer but I believe they are far more expensive.

I am sure you have already tried turning the screw on the existing one more to the right be make sure it is fully locked so that the hydraulic pressure does not reduce (with the jack sinking down). The symptoms reveal a leaking seal though.

Take care Pantelis
