Non Football Question!

I was chatting with a fellow Bluebird the other day about cars.



While sorting through all the usual clutter in his boot he asked a question which neither of us were completely sure of the answer.We were both perplexed over the legal situation on keeping a Jack in your boot at all times.Anyone an here offer any advice?Isn't it a legal requirement these days?

 

I am struggling to find an answer online to this question but as a spare wheel is a legal requirement then I would have thought having the right tools to change a wheel would also be a legal requirement. Having one without the other would not make any sense to me.

I guess it is possible as long as you have the right wheel, in good enough condition to replace a duff one, and you call assistance to make the change it might be ok.

Have a chat with a local MOT garage, they will know or even have a look at your last MOT paperwork (if you still have it) .

 

according to my research there is no legal requirement for either a jack or a spare but highly advisable

 

now i see u must have a spare i dunno depends what website u go to

 

I did have two in the boot for a while.One was an old one I used to keep in my last car.

 

Keeping a jack in your boot can be potentially dangerous. They tend to get very nasty when they lose.

 

Do you need a different Jack if you're towing a caravan ?

 

Rhondda!
As far as I'm aware a simple Jack will suffice.

 

A good Bluebird question considering there problems with coming up flat when it counts , for more years than they want to count Lol !

 

A Jack tying to get a rise out of us?

 

make sure you only use premier petrol too!

 

I'm not sure if it's a legal requirement but its definately advisable. I used to have a hydraulic one but I find the ones you wind up much easier.

 

H you are right.

 

May I suggest ITIWRAN as the new moderator in place of Bomber , any seconders out there

 

As long as you replace Jager with Daiswan.

Sorry H, only joking - Bobby would be no good for us anyway. He can always see both sides of an argument as soon as he starts it..........

 

They sell them at my local motor factors, just go in and ask for a JH.

 

What and loose H that would be a TRAGEDY.

Try again you seem to be lumbering jack.

 

That's ok.... I didn't want to be a mod anyway. I wanted to be a lumberjack. Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia

Is this the kind of degrading post a moderator should make to a visitor . ?? He's ruining your board , bob wouldn't do this to friendly posters !!

 

just a bit of fun...no need to get your knickers in a twist....or suspenders and a bra
