Its that time of the year again to take my S2 for its MoT.

Each year I have to assist the tester on where to place his jacks when he wants to raise the rear axle but we never seem to find anywhere entirely satisfactory. Obviously, the official jacking points are hidden behind the panels.

What do other folks do? Take the panels off prior to the MoT?

It sure does have those blue stickers. But those jacking points are for lifting one side of the car are they not, and not to be used together to lift one or both ends.

One of the posts above suggests their MoT tester is happy to balance the car on just those two points and allows him to push down on the front so they can check the rear. If thats the case, I can't imagine too many testers being happy to do that.
