I went to use my 306 scissors jack today for a non car related job (briefly support shed base whilst doing a little brickwork) but discovered it was rather rusted up LOL when I removed it from its mounting in the boot !
After WD40 - ing all the hinge pins and screwjack - I left for an hour and then greased the screwjack ready for refitting to car.

How lucky was that - I wouldn't have wanted to discover the jack wasn't useable in the middle of the night LOL.

The jack is one of those little things easy to overlook during periodic servicing (as is the spare wheel mounting mechanism).
