No, not really a panic, our problem is we are all too aware of where the jack IS. It's just not where it should be. We found it in the garage, in a nice shaped expanded polystyrene block, with the handle, etc.
Now, it's very evident this block of styrene is moulded to fit in a cavity under the driver's seat, in the foot well (you'd see it if you looked low and opened the door) behind a black plastic cover with an image of a jack impressed upon it.
So, my contention is that the converter (Burstner) had it out, or had some of the trim off, and simply forgot to replace it. Or can you tell me that despite the original design idea, it simply doesn't fit there anymore. I can't see how the needs of a low profile coach built would impinge on this area at all. Thanks
If this IS a Ford....On my Transit there was a compartment on the vertical face of the drivers step containing the Shaped Polistyrene block containing the jack/wheelbrace etc. Very tight fit!

Thanks, did you push the block in yourself or did it come like that? I know it's designed to go there, I'm just puzzling why mine came outside and was put in the under-bed garage, loose.
My jack was not in its little cupboard in the foot-well either. I just assumed that it had been moved to make access more practical after the hand-brake had been resited above it.

It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
If the handbrake has been shifted from its central position between the seats to the RH side of the driver then it makes it impracticable to stow the jack gubbins in the locker.
Hence ours has to be stowed in the garage, along with a large aluminum casting to use with it.
Our jack was also under the bed in the locker in its polystyrene shell. We had also discovered the cubby hole in the drivers footwell but did not realise that the jack should go there!!! Just put the van away in storage today after a great week in Scotland so when we get the van out again we will check if it fits.
We also found a steady winder handle in the underbed locker but so far cannot work out what it's for. Any ideas?
hi my hand brake is also on the right hand side but it dose not stop the jack going in it,s cubboard my hand brake is just above the cubboard set back between the seat and door i have no aluminium
casting just the jack and handle which folds mine must be different
