You've had to pay that @Bav ?
Alright, alright - rub it in why don't ya?
I'm at £50 a month at the moment, goes down to £15 pm this April.
Unfortunately, they do!
Same here, bought the same jack but wondering if I need to get a rubber pad to go on top. I'm struggling to find one.....probably not looking in the right place.Got paranoid after reading some threads recently about jacking the van up.
So I’ve bought the Hilka 3T bottle jack from screwfix
Probably I’ll find out I don’t even have a spare wheel

Hockey Puck?
See from here on the monster jacking thread for suggestions
Jacking Points And Axle Stands
Why not use the axle stands at the provided jacking slots just behind the front wheels? Wider and will be more stable IMHO. :thumbsup: Yea i probably will to be fair, would be easier to access as well....is anywhere on the subframe safe to jack from? As thinking untill i source a beam as...

A BM2 so I can keep an eye on my starter battery and top it up before it gets too low. Van is only doing about 50 miles a month at the moment, if that!
Recently upgraded my leisure battery to lithium with a Renogy 1000w inverter with UPS function. Installed under the passenger seat and using an existing shunt monitor. Working great, huge improvement over the previous AGM battery. All was well in the world until I saw this which I didn’t need as I had decided I could do without any more apps for monitoring things. Anyway, one thing led to another and this lot arrived….
@TrevsieB, DM sent.
I already use a wireless charger cradle in this position however when on a journey it didn’t provide enough power to keep phone charged whilst using Waze (so I have a powerbank thet sits in the drinks holder with a small piggy tail lead).
Was excited to see SCR launch this. It only actually comes with a vent j clip however as I said I’m already using a mount here.
At £39.99 it’s about the same price as most of the competition that I have come across.
It Has an auto opening sensor and then auto close. On the back is a sensor to open it and nice touch is that even if you’ve turned power off it will still open as keeps a residual charge (haven’t tested for how long).
Pleased to see it nicely slotted on my existing mount arm ball end and after having driven Folkestone to Stansted for 1.5 hours am pleased to arrive having used Waze all the way and the phone actually has a little more power than I started with.
It’s a little shame that whilst the item comes labelled with “Presto connect” it arrived in a box covered in Chinese writing and well it wasn’t too long before i then found it on Temu for a third of the price.
It will be hardwired to a usb box below the dash as the way it’s wired at moment is just a test.
Only negative things. When it’s on and no phone on it it has a light in the middle of the charging coil and there is a blue led at the bottom. These minor things annoy me so I’ll cover them up.
It charges an iPhone in a case with two credit cards slotted between the phone and the case.
Phone/charger is hot after the drive however I guess no worse than if it had a power pack attached.

Cheap. Mines £520
No - mine's expensive; yours is outrageous. Presumably a Cali or 'velle?
