Looking for a suitable jack for a 3.5T Ducato

Jeeez, you make changing a wheel seem like a major overhaul..

It is - especially at 72.
In fact you shouldn't be changing massive wheels especially on a 3.5 van at any age
That's why you should pay for breakdown cover.

I do pay for breakdown cover, but as time served motor mechanic (aged 70 and a bit) I'm more than capable of changing a wheel, plus a whole lot more if needed.

I'm still capable of many things and I am a time served electrical engineer but I would get no pleasure out of changing big wheels. I might do it on my Fiesta but not a motorhome.

warping in the piranese.....

Ouch. Can you get cream for that?

I have a very similar if not the same bottle jack but find that it doesn't have a high enough lift to get a decent access under the van, also they need quite precise positioning which isn't that easy, with a trolley jack i just find the the process a doddle.
