yes sorry not very clear, remove bumper m8, you can get to filler neck pipework with wheels on mite pay 2 pressure wash out the rear arch first and a real good top tip when tanks out remove petrol cap(and pull off colour coded ring be carefull they can be quite brittle) and twist fuel filler neck and remove clean behind where it sits and waxoyl it m8.

Wonder what is good place from the front. I jacked it under TCA mount to crossmember couple of times, but is there better? Front diff is bad idea I think...

I've got it, but you know tthere are errors in manualas sometimes. Somebody on PF told me that it's bad and one can crack sub-frame. But maybe I am wrong. I did jack it like that no problems though
