While I’m waiting for the stuff for the filters and oil to turn up, I know there’s a decent amount of ground clearance under FL’s but where is a suitable trolley Jack point to enable axle stands to be used. I’ve another thread going (Whine, whine, whine) and I’ve noticed an oil leak aroungtthe gearbox area towards the nearside just behind the FNS wheel that’s going to need looking at.
Cheers,
M

The whole front or rear can be lifted with a trolley jack, leaving the side jacking points free for axle stands.
There are marked positions (they are X shaped) for a trolley jack on the undersides of both the front and rear subframes.
