Just want to check that this photo is a sensible place to be jacking the rear of the car with a trolley jack?

 

Yes it is.

 

And am I OK to jack up on the front crossmember to get the front wheels up?

 

Yes, best place.

 

G'day Ed,

You might have trouble getting a trolley jack under the front of the car to the crossbeam as the car is so low. What I do is jack the car up on one side using the normal jacking point and place a large wooden block under one of the front wheels Then you should have enough clearance to get under the crossbeam.

Cheers,
Jeff.
