Bung a rubber bung in them and throw the jack under the work bench. Replace it with a decent scissor jack and a trolley jack for home use. [frame]Image[/frame]

I don't think they look naff ,sounds to me like a lot of work removing them for a very little return,as above shove a bung in after cleaning out and waxoiling them,you could even colour code the bung :wink:

Which jacking points are we talking about here - early ones under the wings or some later type I'm not familiar with?

Later cars had square tubes welded to the ends of the cross member.
Not recommended to use them!
