Best jacking points.

[portzy]

I've looked but I cannot find it in my hand book . Where is the best and / or safest place to put and use a trolley jack on my C Class Coupe both front and rear.

Up to now I have been using the scissor one from inside the boot but it gets a bit precarious at times so I bought a nice new trolley one from Argos yesterday.

Thanks.

on 99% of cars theres a small plastic cover on the sill - this covers a tube for the original MB jack. Just 'inside' of this (ie towards the car) should be a pad for jacking.

or use the bottom wishbone or mountig for wishbone. You may wish to put some wood on the cup of the jack.

Ms Ackroyd, Christa, is on Looook No'th (Yorkshire accent ) now . Lives not far from me as well. Sh'az a very nice SL500 and despite all my flattery and sweet talk she still will not take me for a jolly.

Oh dear, and I thought I had a way with the 'Older Woman'?

And her car is like a tip!! I didn't think it was the 500 though thought it was a bit smaller the 350. She's got a private plate on it

The BBC building is near where I work and I once saw her literally dump it on the double yellows in front of their building as there was no legitimate parking .

Well, if thats the her style my illusion has been shattered. I thought it was a 500?, I will give up the chase forthwith, its her loss
