Tomorrow I have to change a driveshaft for MOT. Since the recent discussion apparently the loops on the chassis are not suitable to place axle stands underneath which is what I have been doing up until now (and jacking it up from the sill). Since I can't get my jack underneath the loop to jack it up and then place the axle stands under the sill, I was thinking of jacking the car up underneath the subframe but since the engine mounts weren't designed to have force exerted on them in an upwards direction I am very wary of doing it this way especially in one go. Also I don't know if my jack will reach far enough, I think it will only reach as far as the sump anyway!
