By nature of design all scissor jack's are at lowest mechanical advantage when operated from collapsed. Thoroughly grease threads and confirm you can use it in an emergency. Had to use mine whilst on holiday and jacking car on gravel but it did work, just  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-jackThe 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 ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/04/12/IMG_4380.jpg)

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!!!

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. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oasser-Inf...psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_bia_rpt_ba_s_1_sc
