Is where the jacking point sticker is where you use the jack for removing the front and rear wheels on each side?

When you jack on the jacking point it will lift the whole side of the car, so yes you can take both wheels off of one side by just jacking that one point. HTH chinky chinky

The only place to jack the car from the front is with a long bit of wood to go between where there is a "B" and the other arrow at the front, you will need a low trolley jack though.

ok cheers mate thats the problem i have iv got a low trolly jack that is from work that lifts heavy kit but the way it lifts it comes too much on one side and starts to come in contact width the under tray so need to see if it works on the bit i pointed on the arrow as it only reaches there.

why do you want to jack from the front corner? jacking from the central point will lift the whole side of the car up easily.

because the jack wont fit anywhere but that bit, when i tried to jack from the center it was going to catch and bend my under tray so think i might have to wait and buy a new jack. were the best place to get a good jack do you know mate that fits perfect.
