Subject: Re: Jackall system
I have replaced all the seals on my jackall system on my LG6.Martins Rubber Co were first class and most helpfull.They made several sizes because each jack seems to be slightly diffent ,I suppose due to age.The whole job was not more than 70pounds including some spare ones.
I do not agree as to thier effectivness.Iwas in France last year staying at a hotel and when I came out to drive away the left rear tyre was flat.
A military gentleman who was standing by was amazed that I was able to jack the car up change the wheel in less than 5mins.Later in the autumn I was driving to Folkestone on the motorway and was in a hurry and therefore driving fast when the offside front wheel deflated very suddenly I wa able to pull over to the hard shoulder and stop.It was a very dangerous position.However there was nothing for it but to get on with and between one heavy lorry passing within feet of me every few seconds I changed that wheel in 4 minutes and was very thankfull for the jacking system that worked perfectly.So I am a great fan of them and if you use themevery few weeks they should be OK
