The Bentley manual shows some alternate jack points... the front ones are just forward and inboard from the factory ones, and the rear is in the center on the rear axle support crossmember.

I have 4 jackstands that I've modified by welding a flat plate on the tops, then a 1 inch long piece of pipe sticking up in the center. I cut a piece of rubber that fits down over the pipe, and I ended up with jackstands that plug into the factory jack points.

I use the factory jack to lift one side high enough to get my floor jack with a short piece of 2x6 (to spread the load) at the Bentley jack point, then lift it up and place the first jackstand on that side. The other front side is now high enough to go at it with just the floor jack.

With both fronts up in the air, the floor jack goes under the car to the center rear point between the rear wheels. Up the rear end goes, and the rear jackstands are placed. That's it.
