At the front of the sill below drivers door for the vauxhall jack thats in the boot,but don't trust that for anything more than a wheel change.Best to use a trolley jack on the chassis members or front crossmember :y :y

Front cross member.

Rear is more difficult as they say that you should not jack it up from the diff. I have jacked it from tow bar attachments in the rear.

jack one side, put in a support, then jack the other, put in a support.

Only safe way to get both wheels off the ground IMHO

Cheers all  :y taking the wheel off at weekend for practise. As I can't move Ralf yet and the drive it's parked on has a slight decline, I presume that won't matter?

Cheers.
