Ok, i managed to get axle stands under the front subframe ONCE while doing the brake pads (thats all sorted now thanks btw guys)...

I'm now patching the exhaust, but i can't seem to get it up high enough anymore using the side jacking points and wanting to put the axle stands under the front subframe again..... am i safe to just jack it up on the side, then support it about an inch away with an axle stand then go under???? or are there any other points where i can put them near by??

Thanks

Rob

Not sure why it won't go high enough this time, but I sometimes have to get a bit if extra height by putting the jack on an old slab or wood. Might be worth checking the oil level in the jack as well.

I het a few planks of wood park the car and jack, then jack it up and feels like a standard height car. had this idea given to me by a garage when they had a car so low they could put it on a ramp for MOT, So they found some bit of wood and eventually got it on there lol
