As the warmer ( ! ) weather is due to start I would like to check over my Conway Countryman FC . Can anyone tell me if there are any jacking points in order for me to raise FC to take off wheels. Also is it ok to use the jack that is in my car or would a trolley jack be better.

Thanks for any help

You can put a trolley jack under chassis as close to axle as possible. Unless you have rubber pad for jack use a suitable size piece of wood on top of jack. Most jacks supplied with cars these days are single scissor type so not really suitable but a double scissor jack as supplied with older Fords will do the job with wood packing above & below, but a hard job to wind up.

The 'proper' solution is a Kojak high lift caravan bottle jack that comes with jacking points that bolt to chassis through existing holes if you have them but if you don't want to spend out on that a double scissor jack that you can usually find for a quid on boot sales & some bits of wood will get you out of trouble if you want to change a wheel while you are away.
