1st sensible answer

would a air jack (those bags you blow up with the car exhaust) fit when deflated

What about something like this  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I was hoping that someone had found a trolly jack that would fit, the standard scissor jack is a very poor offer, maybe the older type bottle Jacks that Land Rover use to fit as standard would be a good option. Use to have one under bonnet in a D2 I use to run, only ever used it once, very stable with a good lifting height. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I have used the standard scissor jack once. It was ok and no worse than any other versions of the type that I've used over the years - the biggest issue was the handle which was pretty rubbish.

The only issue with a bottle jack is the small lifting head. There was a thread earlier this year offering an adaptor plate to fit in to the jack locating hole in the chassis. Should be easy enough to get one made up if required. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I have the a small bottle jack and modified to suit lump of wood under back seat wrapped in a sheet of foam. Fits fine, and foam handy to save suit trousers from interface with muddy verge. The jack came from an old shape L200 Itchypussy. Plenty in scrap yards and because they are hidden behind rear seats and bulkhead often missed. The wheel brace that comes with it is more substantial than the bacofoil land rover option. Other alternative is to buy a rescue/recovery membership and just stay warm while Opo changes wheel  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

I recently used the standard scissor jack to change the wheel, no problem but the wheel brace didn't seem sturdy enough to me so I used a more substantial aftermarket wheel brace and now keep it in the boot just in case  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant

Oh, somebody is tired! I agree, I would at least attempt to change wheel. And bottle jack is fine on horse box, although make note, you need a separate wheel brace as LR one is too big for Ifor Williams wheel nuts  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

How often do you guys get puncher's Ive only had one in errr a lot of years driving and many of hunders of thousands of miles, i'd just let recovery deal with it, even if they do take a few hours to arrive, i can always watch my telly till they do.

I did notice a screw in one of my front tyres recently - only noticed because the vehicle was sat with some steering lock applied. Luckily it was holding air and I managed to drive to my usual tyre place and have it repaired. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Well spotted, so you didn't need a jack either, but i guess it could of been a different story if your tyre had of lost pressure, ie, on the way to the airport etc. I know some will say they have had several puncher's in as many weeks, i think its the luck of the draw. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail springs to mind.

I carry an air pump in the boot most of the time which is useful for those slow punctures caused by a screw/nail that's still in the tyre. Sometimes that's enough to get you to a tyre place without having to get dirty or wait for a recovery van

I don't wash/polish the car very often but I do fluid and tyre checks pretty frequently and always before a long trip. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
