Title: Roadside Jack
Post by: JohnM on 06 April 2015, 11:51:23
Hi peeps. Trust you are still all well.

I doubt I could use it (perhaps left handed) but I've discovered I've no jack in the car.
- Unless there is another hiding place!

I have still got this one from my Scorpio but I can't for the life of me remember how the Omega one fits - seem to think it is a square peg.  So, is it any use me carrying around this ford one?  And/or, does anyone have a spare jack (or even mine?).

Everything else (plus bits) seems to be there okay.  Probably missing since I took it off Pete - he quite probably even told me too.

This is the ford one:-

Have you checked between the spare wheel and the bumper? It isn't particularly obvious.

Certainly the Granada one will be of no use what so ever :y

I'll look again to be sure but the wheel itself is sitting in a huge well and I did lift the wheel out.
I do have the foam? insert that I thought the jack sits in.  In my saloons it was on the rhs (upper).



Granny!!  Scorpio if you mind  ;D - okay I'll bury that back in the heap of "stuff".

On the estate there's a cubby hole between the spare wheel and the bumper, effectively beneath the latch :y
