The wheel chocks are supplied on Disco and RR because the transmission brake could in theory allow the vehicle to move once a wheel is off the ground. FR2 has handbrake drums on rear wheels so not a problem (unless you lift both rear wheels of course Smile )


still wise the car doesnt have to move much to tip over a jack. (defenders also roll if you jack them, I learnt that one from experience) At work

Because they also have a transmission handbrake. Same applies to army 4-tonners (and that's some roll!)

Seriously, the only time I would ever rely on a jack alone is changing a wheel, and then I try to make the operation as slick as possible. Feel that sway as the trucks race past at 60!
