Always use the suitable equipment on a suitable surface.

I know the L405 jacks have been questioned regarding their suitability, perhaps this lends it hand to that theory, though the surface looks completely inappropriate to be jacking on.

Bloody Hell Dixy had a lucky escape then.

When are Land Rover going to do something about this?

For a long time we, at fullfatrr, have known that the LR jack supplied with the Range Rovers is not fit for purpose, and yet they still put them in the car... I wonder where Russian law stands on Corporate Man Slaughter? Reckon that LR should sort out the L322 / L405 jack problem asap... if that had happened in Europe or the States they would be bricking it... it's not on when your playing with lives  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Me Too But if your not in the know and you have the ability to change a wheel... there could be tears.. until they get a bad press I fear that nothing will be done.. however we can hope in light of what has happened in Russia.. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Is one of the a video - doesn't seem to work for me if it is

At least there appears to be an ambulance on stand by - maybe that's a requirement for jacking a FFRR with the factory jack.....

No they are pictures of the unfortunate owner.. if you look carefully you can see the wing is dented where it has fallen on him... also looks as if his hands are trapped under the wheel too... Hopefully it broke his neck, cos otherwise the poor sod died of hypothermia trapped under his car... either way not nice, and totally unacceptable as far as the standard of the Jack goes........ Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...
