cw01 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi all, have posted this in defender forum aswell, but seeing as its a RR jack I thought I'd ask here too. Recently ( erm, today actually) got a range rover bottle jack to put in my wolf replica, but when it arrived the bleed screw had come out and some of the oil ( unknown quantity) had leaked out. Now I know the replacement oil is ESSO Invarol EP22, so is this the only alternative?, and how do I know how much to put in?. Also when I tried the jacking lever it wouldn't move, is there a common reason for this?, or have I just bought a duffer?. It was from Evil bay. Thanks, Chris.

landmannnn Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 have I just bought a duffer? Yes, unless the seller told you it was broken. Most jacks you just fill up to the height of the hole when sitting on it's base. I've used brake fluid to top up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyN Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Use hydraulic jack oil. Halfords Hydraulic Jack Oil Don't use brake fluid in anything designed to use mineral oil, the seals will swell up and eventually disintegrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw01 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Excellent, Thanks for your help, didn't realise the wee hole halfway up the body was made of rubber. Thanks again, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
