Yes, it's not clear but sounds like it's the front cross member and not those at the rear
"Position the lifting pad of the hydraulic jack under the centre of the front sub-frame, front cross member"
I'd remove all covers from the front end.

@ ur20v

Up to a point I would agree with you but often it is quite apparent that there are posts which ask for information where it is obvious that the poster has made no effort to find the information.

I have frequently done a quick search which reveals the information that is readily available and which the posters could have established themselves. I grant you that some of the searches can result in an unwieldy amount of information.

Perhaps if a poster has already done a search they should indicate that when asking for information. John
