Sage advice indeed.
I attempted to change a flat for a friend, whilst on tour.
The jack was so stiff as to make it almost impossible to use...not rust, simply unused and with no lubrication
Having got the car up, I then went to retrieve the spare wheel only to find that is was secured with a thick bowden cable and padlock. The padlock was too corroded for the key to turn and no one had a cutter suitable for the cable...so RAC to the rescue and a wasted hour or two!

Hi Gaston,

I'm back at home and here is the information on the jack. It is a Sealey Model 57m one tonne heavy duty scissor jack.
Dimensions: Closed length 373mm, Minimum height 90mm, Maximum Height 325mm. The scissor mechanism is 45mm wide.

Here is the link to the Sealey website for further information: https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637173367/1tonne-heavy-duty-scissor-jack

The photo below shows the two bags you mentioned and their contents. I also carry one of Peter Mulberry's excellent spanners.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,

John

I am a little unsure now. At the beginning of this thread was written that no jack is supplied with the PlusFour. Now there are two bags with it and in one is a jack. What is correct now?

You lucky Plus Four owners. Try buying a Plus Six and you don't get a jack or wheel spanner. Not even a can of sealant! Just a note to say if you get a flat tire then call for roadside assistance.

It would have been nice if the factory supplied a jack to the owners who got cars without one!! I have purchased a jack similar to the one above but with a little motor that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and does the twisting for you - best of Chinese!!!

Hi Robbie,

I am intrigued. A cigarette lighter socket in a 2021 Plus Four!?

I have a 2022 Plus Four but two USB sockets; no 12V Hella socket? Did you retrofit the Hella socket? I ask as I have a small compressor which I intend to take when touring and was going to wire a Hella socket in for said purpose. I also note that Ring offer a portable battery compressor which can be charged off a 5V USB socket.

If you’re looking for a non wired alternative to the socket powered air compressor, I have been using this for a year and it’s brilliant. Wireless and cordless and charges from usb. Highly recommend for ease of use and peace of mind.
