[s-cars] Speaking of Cheap Tools - how bad?

[Lee Levitt]

Hmm. Page A37 of the Bentley would suggest otherwise. And the pictures
suggest that the factory jacking points be used for either a workshop hoist
or a floor jack.

Additionally, Bentley states: "the vehicle whould never be liftred or jacked
up from underneath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members. This could lead to serious damage."

Now I'm confused :)
