Under car jack points

Hi all,

I’ve realised that our beloved a2s are a little different and have a jack that inserts into the body for diy.

My question is how do workshops get them in the air without wrecking the underside of the car ? With my mot coming up in October I’m a little worried in case something happens.

I’ve seen videos where people install what look like rubber jack points directly into the underside of the body has anyone else had similar?


Thanks in advance ?

Yes, you are right to be concerned, many garages/tyre/exhaust outfits have inadvertently damaged many many A2's being not aware they are aluminium and their normal practices will have dire consequences. I make a point of emphasising this on handover and make it clear I will be inspecting such on collection.

This link will go some way in answering your question, it contains a good picture...


In the case of an MOT I would think you will be safe, I would expect the two narrow drive on type platforms and lift.

Got these mounted on my A2:


Including shipment to Netherlands they cost me around 45,- in euro's
Partnumbers are in the link, so Google is your friend to find them anywhere cheaper around the globe.

Easy to lift the car up now with a trolley jack or when it's in for it's MOT at the station, without damaging the underside of the car.

Installation is putting the rubber grommet in with some silicon grease and then push the hard plastic mushroom in, which will secure the grommet and give's a patchrest for your trolley jack of choice.
