Default Jacking up a scoob with trolley jack

If using a trolley jack, where's the recommended place to jack up the front and rear?

Also, where are axle stands best sited so as not to cause any damage?

Finally, whats the overal length of a scoob classic 4dr? (At work,so can't measure it)

Cheers

Jonathan

There are large black flat box sections (sort of) under the front behind the wheels, can't miss them.. use a block of wood on them though, they can bend in with the jack alone.

On the back you can jack under the rear diff, there is a flat section there, or use the large flat plate/bracket in front of each wheel, IIRC it spans from the sill to the chassis, again use a block of wood on the jack or axel stand.

The official trolley jack point for the front (on a classic anyway) is on the centre of the car on the subframe just behind of the sump.....

Rear is the diff.

Use the re-inforced box section areas for the axle stands (as mentioned above). Or use them on the sills on the reinfored parts as shown in the pic (preferably with a sill adapter - to prevent the seam bending)
