[QUOTE="James, post: 3710, member: 212"] The Bottle jack ..... this is a bit of a curved ball for Grant, and more of a questioned levelled at [USER=30]@tristan[/USER] ........ A few years agp we bought a very expensive truck from a renowned truck builder in Germany. It came with auto gearbox to avoid any driver error, a heated drivers seat, a very comfortable sleeper cab, not to mention cruise control, bluetoooth compatability and suspension to die for. It also came with a 10 tonne capability Bottle Jack. The bottle jack has never worked from day one. Today I had a fiddle with it , and for the life of me could not get the darn thing to work. No pressure under pump, and despite fiddling, filling with oil, opening and closing valves , it is still not the jack you want to pull from the tool box when you've backed into a bank and bent the back light carrier and thought you'de just bottle jack it straight before you had to explain to the Boss why .... I thought I might take the truck back and get a refund under warranty, except that the warranty is about done. A bottle jack is a bottle jack . The darn thing should work, but it does,nt. I am not happy ..... [/QUOTE]
