Jacking points / methods

[Hoofty]

If, like me, you have nothing more elaborate than a trolley jack with which to lift your A110, what's the best method for getting it up onto stands?

Usually (on other cars) I find some sort of cross member and lift one axle at a time; it's never fun, but is at least fairly stable. I don't fancy my chances in being able to do this on the Alpine.

I can't see a way of lifting it other than one corner at a time, using the sill jacking points. This will work for changing wheels, but still, I'm all ears for anything cleverer.

Thanks both - two different ways which have vastly improved my confidence, much appreciated.

I made some stepped ramps a few years ago as I can't get to the subframe on the M3 without raising the car a little, I suspect with those I'll be able to manage lifting the front.

Plus there's always a Quickjack...

From the looks of the winter tyre thread, iKenndac has something similar.

There's little doubt that it'd be an extravagance, but lifting a car is far from the most enjoyable task, and the A110 dimensions and masses at least demand no more than the entry BL-3500SLX Quickjack (£935). Conveniently this would also do for my other car, if not all the cars I hope to own.
