Default C30 jack stand points?

Hi all,

I was just thinking about what I need to do to replace a faulty alternator, and am getting some jack stands so I can work easier/safer... but how/where do the jack stands go if Im using one of the 4 pinch weld locations to jack the car up to begin with?

Is there a front jack point to jack the front end up? Or if doing one side at a time, is there specific jack stand points further underneath the car (C30)?

Im guessing it might be in the manual but Im in bed on my phone, so forums easier right now lol.

TIA

I've jacked on the big bolts on the lower suspension arm into the chassis then axle stands on the sills (jack points).

V50 but mostly the same underside wise
i jack on the sill points and put the axel stands where you jack Slightly narrower foot print for the axel stands but easier to get the jack under


One thing to add
Please Chock the rear wheels when the fronts up in the air, both of them

V50/C30/S40 all going to have the same front-end suspension setup right?
