looks like you've got robobone's keyboard too by spellings n' dropped letters

OK OK - it's true - I didn't know what the jack was!!

ops:

Nevermind - onwards and upwards and don't look back I say...

But I'm an absolute rookie and I need some more help ...

I've got the jack out and the rod but should there be a handle of some kind to crank the rod? If so - where should it be... what does it look like?

(Blimey - I hope this isn't another really stupid question ... what are the chances? ...)

Tomorrow on my absolute beginners car maintanence course is a change your spare wheel day - so I need to know...!

While I'm on the subject - can somebody tell me what I should be looking for under the car for the marker/position to place the jack.

Thanks,
MM.

The crank handle for the jack is formed by using the wheel brace, it should have a square hole in it.

At the rear put the jack directly under the axle tube as far outboard as practical, at the front put it under the the back of the bracket that supports the rear end of the lower wishbone.

i reckon very sensible to ask better a fool on here than stood in pooring rain middle night somewhere remote wishing youd asked!

Do you have the factory wheel brace :?: the wheel brace has a square hole in it which goes over the long bar which fits into the jack.
I can email you a pic of the jacking points which is shown in the owners hand book if you want :smile:
