ok, so am i s'pose to put the axle stand on the jacking point.? if so i can manage that, just thought it was mentioned that its not good for 5 days on the jacking point as that would cause bent sills.... I thought it was s'pose to go on one of the axles of the car.? :huh:

aslong as you have the rest of the weight of the car on the floor(which you will have on the other 3 wheels) then you wont have problems with bent sills, only if something happens and the jack collapses then it will damage but follow what people have said and you cant really go wrong mate. pretty idiot proof
