on the rear beam
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

you could put them on the chassis rail (what you put them on at the front) or when you jack it up look where the wheels are there is a beam going from passenger to drivers side put them on there

Ok will try and have a go as I wanna sand me back wheels and was told just jacking it up isnt safe? Have put car up on axle stands before for the front just never for the back hence the questions

Nope must be blind! Am lookin at the back and yes I can jack it up but cannot find a place to put the axle stands, nothing at the back is in the form of the front where I would put the stands  :sad: Everything at the back seems a lot flatter and wider and doesnt look like it will take an axle stand? My axle stand looks like an upside down bridge with lips either side ie where I could put them for the fronts...
