Cheers, have to change tyres soon and hater pulling the jack out of the boot :) 

RE the front placement - make sure the jack is towards the front of those rails - they are not sufficiently strong further back.

 

I sometimes put the jack on the subframe bolt (with a rubber hockey puck).

Under the front main sub-frame is usually a good place. To the outer edge not the middle. I assume your not trying to lift both wheels off the ground at the same time.

 

At the rear, the main suspension beam or hub is usually a good place.

 

But I simply use the standard jacking points when I swap winter wheels. Trolley jack with piece of wood. Bingo.
