Not quite sure where to place this one, so here goes.
Where is the correct place to jack up the front/rear of my '5? I am using a trolley jack. Also where would I place the axel stands? I know that this sounds pretty basic but I have heard horror stories about people whe have jacked in the wrong place.
You should jack on the centre of the differential casing & in the centre of the front subframe. The axle stand points are inbetween the drain holes for the sills. I see a “How to jack & support your MX-5” STHT article coming on…
That would be ace. In fact, I reckon there’d be a lot of mileage in a series of short articles aimed at people who are looking to take their first steps in looking after their own MX5s.
That first article mentions putting the vehicle into 2nd - I always leave mine in either 1st or reverse when stopped, but is it better to use a higher forward gear?
