I feel a bit silly asking this, but its better to be safe than sorry. I've got my self a trolley jack and was wondering which points were the best point to jack up the Cerb. As i understand it you cant just jack up one corner and i did'nt want to cause any unnecessary damage.

Do a search for jacking points. There are pics on here somewhere.

I really dont like the idea of twisting the car so I wont jack up a single corner using those jacking points. I jack the front centre using the "main cross structure point" on the diagram and the rear using the corresponding point at the back. The back cross structure point needs a block of wood that fits between the exhaust pipes and on to the jack.

I always put the axle stande as close to the main chasis rails as I can on the outrigger arms as at least one of my outrigger tubes has been bent by a stand (some time before my ownership!)
