Hello all,
Is there a diagram out there someplace demonstrating the various safe jacking locations for the E? Particularly the series 1.
I had a fellow forum member help me as I put my E on jack stands a couple weeks ago. I have noticed people seem to all have their own method for jacking and jack point locations. I would love to hear your methods.?
I wish I had not seen this XJ-Sā¦now I canāt sleep !!

Almighty! You opened up a whole new risk of bird strike for the XJS! Whats the LED-strip under the horn for? And to answer your question, I am not aware of a jacking diagram other than the manual.

First of all - is that XJS mutant documented somewhere ? Iād love to hear the story.
About jacking up your car. If itās for long term, say over the winter, Iād have the stands in places that puts the suspension in itās normal position as when the car is stood on its wheels. The rear stands seem to be under the shock absorber mounts, so thatās ok. Iād do the same at the front.
About jacking up the car, Iāve used a block of wood on the diff and lifted the rear that way. In the front Iāve read some people use a piece of hardwood under the bottom of the āpicture frameā and lift the car there.
The jacking points for the road side wheel change may be compromised by rust.
