D2 Jack
 

Just discovered that the LHD 3.3 V8 TDI that we are currently breaking has an 'extra heavy duty' Aluminium Jack that was shared with the D2 W12 - looks a lot more robust than the regular one (thankfully!)

Is the jack for sale? PM me with a price please

You can't possibly be serious after all you have said about the fuel of the devil :p lol

It's OK, I'm pretty sure that the jack isn't diesel powered! :)

We have listed it at £30. It looks more robust and is straight like the A6 jacks, whereas the D2 standard jack is a bit banana shaped.

It is rated to 1100 KG which is 100KG more than the regular one.

Interestingly there is another version for the armoured car (list price new £428) It must come with an armed guard to protect the VIP while he changes his wheel!

I'llhave it at £30 if that includes postege.

BTW - the armoured car version will be bullet proof of course! :)

Something else that it is worth upgrading while your at it Jim is the RS6 breaker bar to loosen the wheel nuts. It spins out and extends to give you more torque. I was having a real problem getting a nut out, then noticed it extended and it was out in a jiffy.

Hang on a minute.

So, they over engineer a jack at rediculous cost, to lift a 3 tonne car in the event that it, what, gets a puncture ? This is the armoured version. Its supposed to withstand gunfire, explosions, and most parts of Newcastle on a Friday night

I would imagine they're toughened and run flats at least ? Surely. They have to be ?

For what possible reason could you ever need to pull up your armoured 6 figure executive bomb proof limo, get out, and crawl around in your designer gear fannying around changing wheels over.... ?

Does it come with an armoured wheel brace too incase the regular one comes under fire during the wheel change?

How about the crappy plastic wheel change alignment tool.... That puppy's gonna struggle. They barely withstand atmospheric pressure.

Surely to god, you'd have AA membership at least. Let them change it. :ROFL:

But the RS6 comes with no spare wheel, a compressor, a can of squirty stuff and the big ass battery where the spare should be...

So Audi give you the better tools to remove your wheel, when they dont give you a spare wheel to put on... lol
