Jacking Handle

Dorn1964 · 04-02-2013, 08:59

Hi does anyone know where I can get a jacking handle for the mistral? The jack is in a compartment in the rear but seems to be missing the handle. Looks like it should be the type that slots into the jack and has a square end then a bend in the handle allowing you to turn to raise the jack. Thanks

As said, there should be a long bar under the seats, this has a large square bobble on one end that goes into the jack, and the other end is flattened into a small square, which in turn fits through a square hole in the handle of the wheel nut wrench to create the bit you turn it with. On mine the wrench is in a bag under the seat as well.

I thought I was missing the wheel wrench/jack handle as well until I tried feeding the towbar electrics through the existing grommet at the passenger rear behind all the plastic etc..

Obviously a previous owner decided to store the handle with the jack and then it dropped to the very bottom. I've fairly small hands so I just managed, but if you're blessed with shovels for paws you might struggle to get all the way down there. Worth a look in case the same has happened to yours.

Thanks I'll take a look but I feel I am also missing the wheel wrench with the hole in it....Nope small hands... but long nails! I'll have a feel around there too. Thanks for all the help.

Mine was missing the jack, the jack handle and the wheel brace, got them all from cncfabs I seem to remember.
Something to be aware of though, the jack is very unstable, even on a solid level base - don't even think of getting under it if that is all that's supporting it. A trolley jack is the best thing, backed up by axle stands, or at a pinch, concrete blocks (Aldi are doing a trolley jack this Thursday for £19.99).
These cars are HEAVY!
