Hey guys could someone tell me is there a central jack point for a trolley jack at the front of the car?

If so where do i put the axle stands?

I found this ... but never know weather to trust them?

My car has certainly been jacked up a few times using the point shown in the workshop manual, to date without issue.
I always axle stands in conjunction with the jack.

the thing is lol, i cant figure out what this point is the workshop manual refers too? i had a look underneath and all i see is undertray lol

Pics upside down for some reason ??

The reason I can use it so readily is that my car doesn't have the rearmost cover as you seem to have. Don't ask me why it isn't there, I have no idea. Can't say I have missed it, in fact I can't see what its purpose would be, nothing there to protect.
The result is I can see the centre of the front subframe cross member quiet easily.
On your picture the front cross member is probably located where the central bolt head is, in the recessed area.
You should be able to find it by tapping, it's very solid.

Is it this recessed point here?

I think that is where it should be. You could always drop the cover to check and then throw it away.

Anyone offer any more insight into this please?

Confirm that my circled pic is ok to lift on? Regards

Thanks guys.

So tray off and I’m guessing you jack on one of these horizontal bars?

Does it matter if it’s the one closet to the front of the car or the rear of the car?

Check the document on jacking/lifting in the workshop manual that you can download from the wiki  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I thought there was a subframe jacking point at the front of the engine below radiator/condensor. Much better for lifting less weight. (Obviously I can no longer have a look or take a pic ) .

I have got to say this is the worst forum for unhelpful “do a search” comments I have ever been on, I understand the long timers here have seen it all before many times but posting do a search means that there are loads of threads coming up in the search’s with no information, just do a search comments!! I suggest either answer the question or don’t read the thread or post if you cannot be bothered to be helpful. Most of the time it would take as long and the same amount of typing to answer as to direct elsewhere or “ do a search”

This should be a helpful brotherhood of tormented ff owners not entitled police state unhelpful members!

Rant over.. for now.
