so guys i have a 2014 jaguar xj and i need to replace the front two rotors.
for the life of me i can't figure out this cars jacking points for the jack!!!
can anyone help where the specific points are? im scared of breaking something

 

Page 194 in owners manual

 

The supplied jack is unsuitable for anything other than an emergency tyre change.

For trolley jacks, you can see the strengthed flats just inboard of the cills, a short 6" length of 3x3 wood helps with larger trolley jacks.

Do not massively lift one corner on its own, in order to reduce the risk of twisting the chassis.

 

It's also good to have everything closed too. Doors, windows, sunroof, trunk. Some cars use those to strengthen the chassis.
A guy with a T-Top Firebird on a two post lift opened the door. It wouldn't latch until he put all four wheels on the ground. He found out it would have if he hadn't taken the T-Tops out.

 

Thank you

 

is it the silver looking flat surface underneath ? For the trolley jacks
its closer to engine bay
do you happen to have a picture by any chance ?

 

The lifting points have an arrow cast into the under side of the body plastic that points to where you should lift.
I never saw the arrows until someone pointed out they were there.
I looked and sure enough plain as day!

Here is a picture of the arrow cast into the under body plastic indicating the jacking points on the XJ. I did not see them at first but they can be felt with your fingers easily.

Isn't that the lifting point if you use the emergency scissor jack? I thought for a normal lift or trolley jack you should use a solid structural member and not balance on the sill?

 

These 4 spots are the only area's Jaguar recommends for lifting?
So I don't think it matters what you are using to lift the car with.
Lift, scissor jack or trolley jack. The picture is my car on my 2 post lift.

Do you have any other information from Jaguar?

I'm not sure. On many cars (incl the XF) those points are only suitable for the scissor jack. On the XF if you try and use a trolley jack in the same place it bends the pinch weld and can cause the metal to separate. There is a diagram you can find online for the XF that shows the trolley jack points are very different from the scissor jack ones.
But - I don't know for the XJ which is why I was asking. If everyone uses the same location and hasn't had issues then it's probably fine.

If anyone has Topix perhaps they can look for the XJ and post back for us all?
