Rasher,

If you look under the car one of the arms which connects the suspension to the chassis has a bolt attaching it to the chassis. Put the trolley jack under this and lift at this point.

Seem to remember jacking mine on the same arm/bolt but please remember if you are going to get under the thing use axle stands !(not a pretty site if it goes **** up )
