how to replace a sill

[Len]

I now use the standard scissor type jack to get it up high enough to get my 2T trolley jack onto a subframe mount or some other solid point.

same as me. i have to use spare wheel jack to get it high enough to get a trolley under the subframe mount but its imposible to use it on my front sills.

I discovered a pair of crushed sills on mine a couple of months ago when it was on the MOT ramp, luckily the nasty b@stard brown worm hasn't set in yet.

Thats the annoying thing! Mine didnt have any rust on them!
Had advisory note on the two previous MOT's so thought this year it had to be done before MOT!

one of mine was slightly mangled on the jacking point. i straightened it out with a hammer in fairness, you may find they rip but all i did was weld it tidely in these places the undersealed it, it was no work of art but it was tidy and passed the mot without a comment! the mot by the way was end of june just gone

I always used to drive mine up onto blocks of wood then use a trolley jack.

Ive always jacked my mk3's up on the subframe fixing point without any issues.

Mine *looked* lovely until i tried to use it.. Then it started bending inwards.. Not using that again!

Same, but now I have a low level jack.
