Had a puncture so went on line to the LR website to understand where the jacking points are.

http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com/documen...c/G1802478

Two conflicting pieces of info here:

“The deployable side steps must be in the stored position....when raising the vehicle”

And

“If the vehicle is fitted with deployable side steps, the side steps must be in deployed position to allow access to the jacking points.”

In fact it’s not possible to access the standard jacking point with the steps stored or deployed.

What it should clearly state is that the jacking points are on the underside of the side step and that they must be stored when using those jacking points.

Muppets.

I came to the same conclusion - there's no access when deployed - but only ever used a trolley jack & it seems to have been fine using the lowest point on the steps when in the stored position

Mine are permanently switched off so didn't need to do that step

i always thought that the steps had to be removed for jacking...

Not on the L405

This thread was my observation on the subject - and I still haven't got round to a bottle jack solution

Only on a 322 Stan... 405's use the step hinge bottom as a jacking point

ahh.....

So I must be doing it wrong on my L322. I just deploy the steps which exposes the jacking points and then use my Sprinter Jack with no problem at all. Well that's not strictly true I have to be careful to place the jack in such a way that I can move the handle sufficiently to jack up. Geoff

All different on the L405 unfortunately Geoff

Even the jack mount has changed so the converted Sprinter jack no longer works.

The correct method - it’s all in the handbook (in mine it is may have been updated) 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Thanks Alistair, I had't realised I'd inadvertently strayed onto Technical 405 must pay more attention in future.  Geoff

I had exactly this issue following a puncture (3 days after getting the car!) I called out LR services, so that they would be responsible for any damage) and he put the car into off road mode and jacked the car up on the (closed)side step hinge, which it seems is the approved method.
