2 years ago I got a Supercheap bottle jack, used it a few times then stored it (on its side?) since then it appears to be a lot slower at pumping up.
Could it be my immagination or has it leaked if so course of remedial action

Find a Hilux or Prado bottle jack.
Non hydraulic, will last forever.

Would not be the first time I've lost oil in a bottle jack, just top it up with hydraulic oil, here is some instructions to help you.

If there is a small rubber bung on the body of the jack then that is the oil level with the jack collapsed. Take it out, fill with hydraulic oil till it starts to weep out of the hole, replace the bung.
