Axle Stands

I have just bought a pair of these to make working underneath the Bongo a bit easier. Does anybody know if the bongo jack is sufficient in order to get the Bongo onto the stands or will I require a trolley jack as well?
Also, can somebody tell me where I should jack from and where I should put the stands - illustrations would be great?

Many thanks,
JTR

Hi JTR
I personally wouldn't trust a scissor jack for anything other than changing your wheel in an emergency.
If you've got an Aldi near you, they are selling 2 tonne trolley jacks for £9.99.
You can put them under any substantial part of the chassis but, preferably, not the actual axles - I have known axle casings to crack due to the weight being concentrated in a small area.
