I would advise against those ideas for several reasons. Scissors jacks are not designed to lift the weight of the 107 particularly from the front to support the vehicle with robust axle stands. If you lift the car from one side the engine will not be level and you need to support it with a jack. On a tilted vehicle there is real danger of the engine slipping from the jack with substantial damage, it is risky and dangerous.

I would suggest that if you do not wish to invest on the required tools (namely a 3ton robust hydraulic jack) you would be better off having an indy to replace the mounts for you. Pls don’t take any risks with your safety. Think in the long term use of the tools rather than it will be expensive to acquire the tools just for this job!.
