I'm planning on doing the rear pads and discs soon and wondering where I can jack up and axle stand it happily. Usually for pads and discs I just jack up and work in the arch well area with no stands and stick a tyre under the area, after seeing a car collapse on someone recently I'm opting for the safer method :) .. poor chap ended up with a collapsed lung, and he was a mechanic so he have known betetr. Apparently the the seals on his trolley jack failed and he didn't have any axle stands as it was a quick repair as he was leaving on holiday and it came down on him. :(

to jack a focus up is still location in the picture shown ok to. The haynes says not where but the pictured areas are safe as does the handbook.
