    Under car safety

    Hi guys!

    Planning on picking up my forge tip today and cant wait to get it fitted. I'm gonna be investing in a pair of jackstands and a trolley jack as well. I'm not too sure exactly were the stands need to be positioned help please I really dont wanna end up as a nasty stain on the garage floor. Any other tips would be handy.

    Thanks guys

    If you feel along the side skirts about 20cms behind the wheel there are some arrows which indicate where the jack should go.

    Make sure you have good set of bricks (big one) so you can use it on front wheels or the rear when you jack up the car. Even if you are doing the rear wheel jack (just one), the car can roll forward.

    So make sure you get your car into the first gear, and also hand brake (depending on what you need), also bricks on the side which is not being jacked up.

    Good luck!
