   Sounds daft but the only jack I have got is a trolly jack where do I jack up a saxo (if I don't use scissor jacking point)

   The fuel tank?! The sump is ok but it would lift the whole front end up and its off balance so could fall off...
   on the sill at the front and back, there are 2 little tabs sticking out, youll see them when you look, either there, or just further in from that there is a bit where there are either 3 holes or 3 rubber grommets in a triangle shape, jack from there.
   As said above also the wishbone mounting point, or the rear beam that runs along the underside of the bootfloor ive used a few times

   do not ever jack on the sump
   
   Jack on the front wishbone bush, centre the pad directly under the bolt. there's a notch in the arm for it.
   
   As above, you can jack with a trolley on the scissor jacking points as normal. since they are strengthened.
   
   
   Never jack on the inner sill either (the bit at the front which looks flat and usually has 3 gromets in it)
