Citroen C5 (2008) Trolley Jacking points
Can anyone tell me where the trolley jacking points are on my C5(2008) saloon. I want to change the front and back brake pads and I could do with jacking up both front and then the back wheels together.

i always jack under the sub frames, and NEVER on the body even if the manufacturer say's you can, if i cant get under the middle of either sub frame i will jack one corner up from behind one of the front wheels, ( as most of the time you cant get under the front ) place a stand under then put the jack under the center to finish jacking up and place both stands under,

Note that the suspension MUST be at maximum height before lifting with a jack.
If you can get a pair of axle stands under* then you can lower the suspension and the wheels will lift off the ground allowing access to the brakes.
*the axle stands I bought are too big and won't fit under

Thanks for your advice regarding Trolley Jack lifting points.
So I lift from the center of rear or front sub-frames and then place axle stands at the corners.
