I'm just on with changing the front tyres on 3R, can anyone confirm the jacking points for me? im wanting to lift the front end to take both of the wheels off, No chance with my trolley jack.... i think the only jack(s) i can use are a couple of scissor jacks i have kicking around. Any advice.

Cheers
Steve

Roll in up onto some pieces of wood first, that's what I have to do to clear the splitter.

Make sure you jack under a chassis member - where the rivets are that hold the undertray/floor on to the frame. If not it will get expensive.....

That's what I have to do. It's a bit of a faff but it's the only way to get my trolley jack under the car.

I have no splitter but still couldnt get trolley jack under the side....BUT i did find that the front A-frame in front of the wheels worked. The front end is so light that pivoting on the back wheels, lifting the front on the chassis frame there seemed to work fine with no nasty noises.
