I want to get a decent bottle jack for the FFRR

Yeah, but hey if you drive a FFRR, come on, a stamp ..... Very Happy
It,s expensive but I could not get it here in France and it's really a very handy tool.

As above - the Mercedes Sprinter bottle jack is almost effortless to use.

Not sure if the FFRR has the same lifting peg hole as the D3, but if it does I now do a washer and R clip kit for the Sprinter jack: http://www.disco3.co.uk/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=8

Just and collected this brand new unused blue Merc Sprinter Bottle jack. £20 cash (chap says they're £180 from Mercedes).

Absolute bargain and also comes with new tool kit in grey sleeve comprising jacking pole, wheel brace, spanner and screw driver with 4 head types including star heads.

Does this jack need amending for use with the RR or not please. I think Contraband says fine as is, others weld pieces onto the end and if I'm reading correctly, Martin hopes his washer and R clip attached to it might do the trick (which would seem like a hassle free and safe, quick win)?

Thumbs Up

My one fits in the jacking point diagonally. It works fine, but I would recommend fitting the correct BMW style end piece. Previously..

My kit will only be suitable if the FFRR can be lifted in a similar manner to the D3/RRS, which have holes in the chassis rail for this purpose.
