Place a strong beam between the two rear suspension bushes and jack the middle of this... this is what the haynes reckons for an ax and works for me when I need to get the car realy high so presume its the same for a saxo.

I would deffinately use axle stands though!

where abouts is the plug under the radiator, can ilocate it easily,when i jack my car up.... i might sound a noob, but what is a beam.. and you say rear ? but the car will be lower then

if i was just to jack on side up, from the front, where you place the jack underneath the front wheel, just under the body kit where it show the arrow where to jack.. how do i get and where do i place an axle stand...

i am good at cars, but i wanna be safe when underneath it..

cheers... dont wanna sound too much of a noob /. lol

Sorry I meant the rear bush mount of the front suspension arms lol..... and by beam I maen strong 2x4 or metal bar.

I had a little plate welded in my sill a bit further back from the jack points to make it easier for me.

Just undo the bottom hose and point it into a bucket to drain it
