As per very useful jack modification thread, I purchased a Mercedes Sprinter bottle jack and an adaptor pad
2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car! |

Hi Will, looks like I need a complete kit again but will worry about that by the time the FFRR is shipped to Malaysia. It will be in the UK for a bit and not drive a lot anyway. Would be good if we could get pre-drilled adapters though MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

If we gauge the interest I'm happy to sort these as a group deal? |

Ummm I used 4 pieces of kindling gaffa taped together instead of a BMW adapter and it works fine. The soft wood forms to the shape of the jacking point and then the jack digs into the wood which stops it from slipping about. No mods needed and I've usually got some gaffa tape and kindling knocking about (ooh er missus?!).

The metal on top is soft, you can just use a file, you don't need a grinder.
