Jacking up back end of Xantia estate

Post by Gaskin »

Just a quick query, how do you jack up the back end of a Xantia estate? The Haynes manual talks about a bar under the towing eyes, or doing it one side at a time. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.

I used a length of 75mm square timber long enough to reach all the way across the back of the car.Place this under the chassis rail that the towing eye is fastened to then place a trolley jack in the centre and jack up.Use axle stands or bricks slightly forward of the rear wheels and slowly lower the car onto them to take the weight.
