the VIN number: it's the one in the bottom right (passenger side) of the windscreen?

I need to buy some ride height sensors. Thanks!
 
excellent, thanks. Thought it was on the windscreen, but I dodn't want to blow good cash on the wrong parts by reading the wrong number.

Hadn't thought about the V5 tho, thanks DT.


BTW, the old girl is driving really well, no dramas. Very happy with her. Fixed an oil leak from the rocker box covers - bolts were hand-tight and the gaskets were stiff. Replaced the water pump and a/c condenser.

Wammers, mine's 97 with the Thor motor. I'm presuming that's 'new', but need the VIN to verify.

Should be the new interchangeable from side to side ones then. But best to check.
 
yes, thanks, they were the interchangeable parts.

The EAS has been largely behaving itself, but it occasionally freaks out, generally on very uneven road surfaces, or when the tyres are running at higher pressures. I'm going with the theory that the sensors are all over the place as :

  • they're original, as far as I can tell
  • the EAS error is triggered most regularly when I travel over two bits of road that are almost corrugated while 'making progress' round a corner.
    The airbags and compressors seem fine.


Presuming this is a relatively simple fix, but I guess I'll need the 'blocks' for the suspension?

Don't need the blocks. If you have EASunlock use that and a tape measure. Bit of a fiddle but very doable.

Though the Thor version only came out in 99>
 
you might be right, but I'm pretty sure that when I bought the car I got a Thor motor?

Maybe wrong, but it's a good buy so far.
 
I have a rectangular box. So GEMS then. I guess if it really wanted to destroy itself, it would have done it by 137,000 miles.
