its well known that the scissor jack supplied with the range is pants so i'm thinking what are the alternatives ..
trolley jacks or bottle jacks can be awkward to carry in the back of the range , so what about exhaust jacks...any one used one on their range or has experience of them.

Would the thing actually blow up when fixed to an exhaust with two outlets?.
Or is the rear silencer split into two internally.

you have two options, plug the end into one of your exhausts and bung the other side up or, use a cheap air-compressor from asda for instance [£6]..the air compressor apparently keeps the air jack cleaner than the exhaust option..

There was a good few posts on these on the Disco3 Forum searching there might be useful.  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

I wouldn't use the exhaust as the back pressure could cause unforseen issues with sensors and cats and such forth. Cheap air pump is the better option. IIRC some Firecrews in some countries use these to help with access and such like..

scarey, that air jack is just plain scary! EDIT - "boxed product weight 2.7kg" what is it made of? carrier bags?
if you jack up your RR with that it will pop and hurt you.

have a search on D3 like Googsy says. The guys did a lot of research
Get the real deal:

Not a fan of exhaust jacks.
Can't you fit a bottle jack in the cargo bit under the boot floor? (where the demountable tow bar should go)

@baben..the more i read ,the more i think its a bad idea...for off road use maybe but i cant see the benefits for day to day use.

@fox...thats what i got at the moment, and the crappy scissor jack so with them and the breakdown service i should be ok..

Id probably go for this and an air compressor. Could imagine it popping though

I would only recommend an airjack for Offroad and recovery use. On-road you have better options like a decent bottle jack with some means of interfacing with the vehicle

fox will tell you that the camel trophy used these on there events around the world  ONE LIFE LIVE IT
