Trolley jack.

Good afternoon. Where are the safe places to raise the car on a trolley jack as i am not to keen on using the scissor jack. Many thanks. Anthony.

Look in the vehicle's Owner's Manual for instructions on correctly positioning a jack and stands.

Here is a link to the X100 Workshop Manual:

You would be well advised to get two low profile trolley jacks...If you jack up one corner the body is so stiff that you lift the other side as well which I dont like due to the twisting loads . I always use two one each side .. at $40 each not a big deal.
