Can you photo and post the jack points for a floor jack and jack stand placements. I do not like the jack supplied for the car and using Rhino ramps has its limitations. thanks

Nobull,
The quick answer is there aren't any good points on the MINI unless you have a lift.
That said, take a look at the brake bleed how-to - I think it's in there as well as the oil change how-to.
The way I do it is to use the chassis in the front with a hockey puck, then jack up the entire side. I then put the stands under the factory points, making sure you haven't got any factory defects - the jack point won't be stable at all if the "pin" hasn't been inserted all the way into the chassis.
Let me know if you still have questions - hope that helps!
