One other thing it is definately worth getting a front wheel clamp! I didn't so I use tie downs at all times!

I'm going to check this on mine, as it looks like a bottle jack and hopefully will be a simple and cheap replacement. Re the front clamp, just be careful as it will likley need another stand too
