Bushranger Jack

Post by countrywide » Mon Apr 12, 2010 2:05 pm

Went to swap the buckled wheel out and my Bushranger jack has popped at the seam of the valve :x

Only used it a handful of times as well

I e-mailed Bushranger to ask about it and they have asked for photo's, description of what happened etc. So they are seriously looking into it as apparently it hasn't happened before.

Someone else had an issue with a valve & apparently they were great in sorting it out, so I hope they do the same for you :thumbright:

Was this the Bushranger "Air Jack" or the "X-Jack"?

I hope they do the right thing and sort it out asap.....that's the thing with an air jack.....you never get it out until you really need it :censored:

It's the Air Jack (large), rather than X Jack.

By the way don't try it on gravel, the whole car shifts sideways :shock:

No it doesn't... :whistle:

Did you make sure it was flat and nice and round before inflating? You then need to reposition just before the whole thing starts to take the lift of the vehicle. That way you get a good vertical lift from the airjack.

I've airjacked on very loose ground and it hasn't shifted :thumbright:
