Hi,

I have unfortunately suffered the winter battery failiure and have now ordered a new one. I am hoping to fit this over the weekend if not before. Can anyone give me any pointers as to where the jacking point on the car are.

I may just use a trolley jack, but there is a chance of a proper 4 point lift so all points would be useful and any advise too!

Thanks

Jon

As far as I know on the front it's the bolt where the lower wishbone attaches and the fwd bolt on the rears. I could be wrong though, the manual isn't very clear.

Take care though, I did the new battery swap last weekend, and my trolley jack wouldn't fit under the front of the car or the side by the sill's. I had to use a very old bottle jack, and used the jacking point as previously mentioned.

Its an idea to drive the front wheels on to some timber or old slabs, this will help to raise the front end slightly and allow a trolly jack to slip underneath.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Was hoping to be doing this job this weekend, but the battery still hasn't arrived!
