Jacking Handle

[Dorn1964]

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

try looking under the middle row of seats (if lwb) if swb under the rear seats

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!

Ah, it was the wheel brace that had dropped down the side panel on mine, the bar with the square drive part was under the rear seats, rolled a little under the carpet.

Due to confusion over what bit I thought I was missing, I have two of the long square drive parts, not sure how well it'll post though as it's a bit long. I'm heading down A1 on Sunday, could throw it in and meet you when I'm near Lincolnshire if that's any use.

That would be great, I'll have a look under the seats and let you know if I find it but really appreciate the offer thank you!
