Earlier today I was working on the car and I jacked it up by the diff and put it in reverse and thought nothing more...
Now though I can't help but think how it worked...as I'm used to fwd cars this is why I put it in reverse when raising the rear but now I'm thinking as it's rwd surly the front wheels arnt secure when jacking it up at the back and simply putting it In reverse gear? The thing is though when I jacked it up it didn't roll forward or anything it was secure as anything so how does it work? I had the hand brake on btw and bricks in front of wheels once jacked up.
Cheers
