Yes, the Merc version is a bit taller. That doesn’t mean it’s no good but can give you a few issues as mentioned above.

How much height they extend though and how they compare I don’t know.

Personally I’m quite happy with the LR version. Thumbs Up


Steve is that the standard Defender Jack or a Discovery Jack that you're happy with?

[he standard LR bottle jack is exactly the same as that issued for the Disco 2. Perhaps your thinking of the Defender pillar jack, which is complete rubbish?


Can confirm its quality as it nearly decapitated me

Ranger - Defender one. Try Thornton breakers possibly. I got mine new never used for £42. RRP is about £162! The bracket for seatbox abs strap are available readily as parts listed on this site somewhere. No Guts, No Glory.

Mine also got removed from the new 90 and put in the scrap pile... free to collector (leave your kids at home).

Thumbs Up also for the Merc bottle jack - £40 'bnib' off that well known auction site Thumbs Up

Note that I keep the pillar jack also to remind me how lucky I am to be alive Neutral

Did it come with the strap to hold it in Screbble or did you buy it separately?

The fixing strap/bracket came with it. - as did a selection of basic Mercedes Sprinter tools e.g. wheelbrace, screwdrivers, spanners, and of course the 3 piece jack handle.
They are all in the bag you can just see under the foot of the jack in the photo.
In its current location it doesn't take up any useful room, nor does it move/rattle, and it isn't hard up against the seat either.

Sorry to hear that - I hope you are all sorted now.

I'd have offered to lend you my jack but I don't want to get it dirty Thumbs Up

We must have a screw loose because despite LRs shocking build quality in nearly everything they made we still love the brand although I must confess that it can often be a love / hate relationship
