General Use of a Trolley Jack

[Roger Bruce]

I need to raise the car to carry out some front suspension works on a 2001 petrol Multi.

I plan to be using a trolley jack, but I have read conflicting advice on the best positions for the trolley jack - can someone suggest some safe jacking locations as I don't want to damage some of the delicate aluminium castings.

Similarly on the rear - best jacking locations? perhaps a pic/diagram might make locations clearer? I started using the side jacking locations, but the metal started folding...

Thanks!

I've used the front subframe at the front (with a suitable wooden block).
Not used a trolley jack on the rear but again sub-frame is fairly robust and suspension components are too, not too much exotic aluminium on a Multipla!
