You can't insure a toilet seat in London for £90. Someone will nick it just for the shiny bolts holding it on.

£15 back then in today's money is about £300. I'm guessing the equivalent car today would be a 20 odd year old Mondeo. You could possibly insure that for £300 in some parts of the country. On the inflation thing, it's just number changing, but...

I assume it doesn't matter if you're holding it with the foot brake or the hand brake? My guess it only occurs at a certain RPM which only happen under stationary idle under load. In which case it could be any of the many brackets in the engine...

My daughter who has just passed her test, first car vauxhall corsa 2018 ,4.5k for insurance, she's 21 in the forces since 18. My first car back in 1980 was an Austin 1100 and insurance was £105 for an 18 year old, week and a half's wages then...

I also found Footman James the cheapest at £550. Adrian Flux wouldn't insure me. Think I was asking for 4000 miles per year, no points, no accidents but living in Croydon which is full of NEDs.

@cornishboater I happen to be in Ferndown until Thurs lunchtime. If you want you can bring it over & I can cast an extra pair of eyes on ti, plus I have my Nanocom with me.

Yep, in the OP he says: "It has done this for a long time and with different valve blocks and driver packs." Sounds like he's replaced almost everything so it's a head scratcher.

He said he replaced the valve block though. This is weird. Only other possibility is the height sensor giving funny readings causing the ECU to squirm a bit. Could try swapping the front sensors across. When the front goes down down slowly can...

Try pulling the hose out of the valve block and see how quickly that corner goes down. Should be quick.

I wonder of there is a restriction in the bag inlet that makes it slow to deflate. A flappy bit of rubber over the inlet could result in your symptoms.

It may be that fully extending the bags beyond their normal range of movement caused failure where the material had perished. Only inspection could ascertain if that is so.
