Hello - Would anyone have a photo or drawing showing the 4 correct lifting points in one picture under a Mini when using a workshop lifting hoist?

 

When getting a WOF (warrant of fitness) every 6 months in NZ, you can clearly see that the garage who has been doing the WOF in the past have not always used the correct lifting spots. I want to keep a picture showing the correct lifting points in the car to show them before they do the next WOF - cheers

You don’t want to show them the official Rover points as they are not really right.

 

The subframes are the best places.

This video may help you to make a diagram.

Thanks for the info and yes, I should be able to make something up from the video showing the lifting points. I'm surprised that BMC or Rover did not have a drawing or photo in their service manuals showing this, however not to worry.

They do. But you don’t want to use them.

Here they are anyway. From the MPi manual.
