Just thought i should say that if anyone is missing there jack and does not want to pay £205 for a new one from MB. The sprinter comes with the same jack, and a new one can be has from ebay for around £20.  genuine MB part aswell.

 Thanks for that Garwell as I'm missing one myself and have been wondering about compatability with other models. ph

Re: 463 Jack

factory jack is worse than useless; you need a trolley jack or if you have suitable jacking points a hi lift jack, this is the best of all.

Re: 463 Jack

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the factory jack comes from a couple of suppliers (Weber being one) and is rated at 3.2t, while the Sprinters appears to be 2.6t.
You know how the MB engineers like to over-engineer everything..just in case.
