I purchased a Defender manual that has the info on it, I couldn't figure how to copy it.
Maybe worth looking into it.

Whoa! 12k pages!! Yesss! Does it have a better jacking point diagram than the one I posted from them above? Any chance you could take a phone pic and upload here?

Thanks umbertom. Only problem is that unfortunately it uses the same diagram as I posted above which doesn’t seem to match the realities of our cars for the rear end.

That's from the 2020 110 workshop manual. I haven't looked under the car to be honest. So far I've only done tire rotations at my house, and with my high reach floor jack on either front or rear jacking points I can get both side wheels off the ground, so I guess that's another way to place jack stands...

ah ubertom thanks for looking into the manual.

So you’re saying that if you jack up (let’s say) the front using the high lift floor jack then it lifts the rear jack point up high enough to place a stand under there?

Yes, that's how I would do it. You need a really high reach floor jack, though (the LR4 was the same way, although I had rock sliders installed on that one so jack positioning wasn't an issue.) A bottle jack may not lift it enough, not sure.

Thanks for all of the info in this thread.
I needed to do some work on the rear brakes. I was able to use a floor jack on the front jacking point and lift high enough to put a jack stand under the rear jacking point.
My floor jack could just barely get high enough to have the rears slightly off the ground, but the jack stand does not need to be quite that high as the rear will raise up a little when the front is lowered.

Does anyone else have updates on what they've done for jacking points? It appears the current best practice is to use the front jacking point and lift it enough to add a jackstand at the rear for safety? Any new wisdom/easier methods?

I need to rotate my tires soon, and always prefer having a jack stand under there somewhere in addition to the jack.
