I prefer to use a trolley jack to jack my cars up. Can anyone advise where I should place the jack and axle stands? Thank you.

No problem, there is a rubber bung in line with the jacking hole just under the sill

Axle stands under the rubber bungs...lift the car under the diff or the block between the engine and gearbox.

That is not possible as the engine cover hides everything, plus the diff is a long way in and it would need a very long trolley jack

A bolt the same size as the pin on the jack inserted in the sill hole enables the car to be lifted with a trolley jack, and then place axle stands if you wish
