Jacking
 
I am getting ready to jack up the rear of my 04 x-type to see why my handbrake dosent work and since I have never jacked the car up before, I was wondering where do I place the jack so I don't damage my car. Pictures would be helpful.
Thanks

First rule: Always use level cement floor - never on gravel. For rear jack point I use the center of the subframe just behind the rear differential. Be sure to use jack stands and chock a front wheel. When you've got the car up on stands give it a light shove to make sure it's secure before you get underneath it.

There are small indented arrows on the sides of the frame, front and rear, that is where jaguar recommends jack placement.
They are small and hard to see
