You gotta be fucking careful, cos if it's up on axle stands then the engine could vibrate the car off...

Just put the hand brake on... then if it falls it'll just drag the arse around and probably stall instead.

EDIT - When I posted this, his post title was 'If you rasied the front wheels' ... now it seems he's talking about a RWD car? and has edited title

I wouldnt do it on a RWD, cos theres nothing stopping the front wheels from moving. You could put bricks infront of the fronts i suppose

dont be shocked when you first turn the engine on and the wheels start to turn though, even out of gear

It will be fine. Only thing is it will rev a lot freer as there is no load on your 26 brake

The gear system isn't part of the MOT So to be safe don't bother
