Hi guys,

Well today while taking out the ej22 from the L series it stopped half way no matter how much i was pumping, the engine hoist bottle jack had stopped. I had to drop it a bit, pump it and it would get a bit higher then stop again. so i had to repeat this step 6-8 times until the engine was high enough.

And its been a few months now that my trolley jack has had a slow oil leak and don't lift as high as before.

Anyone has had or knows where i could get them fixed?
Thx

Or would anyone have a cheap second hand replacement for me?

Hi Guy
Most of those type of jacks have a o ring seal or a cup seal.
You can get replacment kits or put some power steering stop leak in the oil to help reseal the jack.
Cheers Pete

Oh ok,

But what is causing it to stop moving/pumping?

Maybe not enough oil to get it any higher....just pumping air, look for a fill point & chuck some engine oil in there till they die, it'll cost more to have them serviced than replacing them, that's what I used to do with mine years ago.
