Axle stand points...

Done a search but not very clear so thought I'd ask. I know u have that v shaped bar at the front, something at the back and the side sills. I understand u unclip that plastic protector where u jack from but unsure where to position the axle stand either side. Haynes manual says there's a support bar/strip further in that's used for the axle stands but when I tapped it it sounded hollow so decided against using this for the stands.
Also what height from the floor do the sills have to get too before the wheels lift off and u can slip a wheel off?!

You can lift the front using a trolley jack placed under the front hoop or under the middle of the front sub frame. The rear can be lifted with a trolley jack placed under the center of the rear sub frame. Both sub frames are marked where the jack can be placed. The sill jacking points are designed for the standard jack and so shouldn't really be used with a trolley jack. They can be used with axle stands to support the vehicle. The sill will need to be lifted to around 12 inches to get the wheels clear of the ground I think but i'v never actually measured it!!

Cheers nodge so use a trolley jack on that front v shaped bar or subframe and use the jacking points on the sill for the axle stands? Anywhere specific on the sill like the actual jacking point itself under that plastic protector?? Cheers. Paul

Yes the V thing is fine for a trolley jack. Only put axle stands under the sills where the cover things are, remove the covers first there is a strengthened section at that point which will take the weight. Don't use any other part of the sills though.
