Thanks cuzzo, that's what I am looking for on this rolla. This car is really testing my patients. I looked up the jack points haynes is using and my car doesn't have them! :bash: Anyway I uploaded a another picture, this should solve the mystery (I hope). I will delete the picture as soon as the problem is solved! So basically I can't find the engine crossmember, maybe there is none? Can I go onto the bar at the front? I believe it is the (front) support brace? edit: sorry I mean the front bar (going left to right) which is joined by the support brace at '7')

Stuff the wood, I'll only jack up the front and put those stands under the front (suspension) crossmember. That should do the trick for an oil change. lol

haha. founf the grooves something like this: ---^----^---- right?, might need to get some wood and cut some grooves in it, as my jack stands are a liitle bit more 'c' or banana shaped without a groove :( I guess that's what you get for buying SCA haha.

Thanks 7shades, I was already wondering if I am turning stupid, shouldn't be too hard to locate those points (normally). I don't use scissor jacks, don't trust them at all. lol. I have proper jack stands and an hydraulic jack, manufactured to whichever australian guide line, so I'm pretty keen on using them. So you reckon the stands can go into the same location as the scissor jacks? I might need to have another look and see if I can work it out now...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, my name is Hannha, I'm not 'really' into cars, more like into keeping them maintained to prevent later damage and high repair bills :P I have a 'new' 99 AE101, that is in the urgend need of a fluid change and wheel swap. The thing is, I know how do that all, have done it before on several other cars, but I have never had so many problems finding the friggin' points for the jack stands! If anyone knows where they are please send a short reply, my fingers are itching to get this done, but I am too afraid to get under there without knowing that my jack stands (I use an hydraulic jack) are safe! Till know I've bought a Haynes manual (what a waste of money) and had a look by myself, but couldn't locate them 100%. I've taken some pictures maybe one of you could point some spots out for me! The Rolla: Front Jack point (bump) behind central towbar, RIGHT?: Rear Jack Point, the little bump behind the boot, 100% sure with this one: Front Jack Stand Point? Behind the front wheel? It feels a bit more solid there but not really sure: And I couldn't find any at the rear, bit weired as they are normally quite obvious! Thanks! HH82
