Tried doing mine in-situ, it's a pain in the arse trying to get at it so I took it off to do it (not that I've finished it yet :rolleyes:) plus all the dust that comes of it all goes in to the engine bay.
Lol The drive I did it on had a slight step down in the middle just placed the over there and jacked one side up. Yeah not advisable, I was s**tting myself all the time I was under the car because those jacks you get are made of cheese.
Also if you're not 100% certain of where the best place to...
Lol. Not to sure how I am to be honest, I once changed an exhaust on my Zetec-S whilst using the crappy jack you get with the car. :eek:
Dangerous times lol
I normally trust the stands to be honest, if you're worried though you could just pump the jack up and place it under the jacking point I suppose, you'd have be pretty unlucky for them both to give way lol

There was a big turn out last time and a hell of alot of spirited driving took place ;). It's the drag arse sunday drivers that normally hold things up.
On cam y0, cos it's French innit! lol
Yeah I agree, it's not the be all and end all to have good RR results, main reason I did it was just to see if it was down on power and to put my mind at ease. Although I wouldn't mind having that graph curve smoothed out a bit.
