Pete - if you see this - do you know anyone local-ish that does trolley-jack servicing?
Ours could do with a bit of a freshen-up, as one doesn't lift as far as it should and the other doesn't lower in a controlled manner...
I was wondering if Thunder Road get theirs repaired/serviced?
It is cheaper to replace and scrap, especially for a business and H&S and insurance, unless all it needs is more oil.

Ok thanks. I just thought it might be quite commonplace to replace seals, which I would imagine is what often needs doing

Rob

you are obviously thinking of the 'old days' when things could be fixed and lasted ages

We are having to replace a 2 Post Ramp at work because a 3 phase switch is intermittent and is about 1/3rd the cost of a complete new Ramp!!!
Throw away world.... sadly.....
