Jacking point

[mrsaunders]

I generally use the rear subframe bolt mounting points on either side. Nice and solid.

This, my jack cup fits in perfectly

I concur.

I use the standard scissor jack on the sills until I can get my trolley jack under.

Ditto Len - doesn't damage the sills then. 

I lift on the scissor jack and use a trolley jack with some wood to pad it, to hold the car up on the subframe until axel stands are in position (i.e. scissor jack removed).

The problem with the scissor jack as it disturbs the sealer on the edges of the sills and and allows corrosion to start.
