Gday guys....I have been searching through the forum for air suspension related posts as I have a bit of an issue...its not working. The other posts have been a great help, but none of them answered the specific questions that I need. Hope some one can help...here goes: 1. Is the air pump that...

PMSL

This is a really good question. In the main, mine is excellent but on some roads that have heavy truck traffic it wiggles about a bit due to the compression of the road thus causing ridges in the asphalt surface. Made worse over here of course when its 47 degrees and the road gets soft, but...

Springs will affect the ride, but handling is in so many other areas, shocks included. They can firm up the ride and response but I would look at other things first, like bushes and such.

No..spray wd40 on the engine near where the sucking sound is and then have someone LOOK at the exhaust, smoke will come out from the burnt wd40. :):)

OK..just dealt with this problem successfully, not that I am saying all M&S light problems are this cause. Mine dropped into limp home mode (3rd&Rev) and the M & S lights started flashing, which in your owners manual says is an electrical problem in your gearbox, but NOT ALWAYS. According to...

I am 6ft 2in and the cheese and kisses is 5ft 2in tall. She drives mine ok on full adjustment. Although, I have to admit...she is that close to the steering wheel that her tits get caught in between the steering wheel spokes, and she has difficulty going around corners:D:D:D

Have someone stand at the back of the vehicle and spray wd40 or CRC near the offending area and watch for the smoke out of the exhaust. That will tell you if and where there is an air inlet leak.

Stooopid suggestion...but have you checked the fuse panel?:D:D:D

Get an auto-elec to check your alternator &/or battery output. Limp home mode is one of the things your system adopts when it detects a low voltage in the wiring/ECU/system etc.

Guy who does my service knew about this when I took mine to him with this problem. He changed the power steering fluid. Said it absorbed stuff (water? dirt?) as it got old and it caused bubbles in the steering under load at low speed or something. Anyway, he changed it and I haven't had a...

Goes without saying...but damn..there goes the satnav :( Got the umbrella already!!! Was thinking about a satnav in case I get lost. :D Mondeo's keep coming up on the listings..might have to check them out further..thanks ;) I thought about an MPV but aren't they pretty sluggish? I imagine...

How big is a Vectra?..are they the ones they race in the BTCC? Was looking around the hire companies and there was a SAAB 9.5 2.3 litre estate. Is that bigger than a Vectra? I imagine it would have a few more bells and whistles. Couldn't find any of the large hire companies that had Discos :( I...
