Title: Rear shocks
Post by: ians on 12 January 2010, 13:58:46

I likely need to change the rear shocks on my old Elite to get it through the MOT.  This car is just used as my mrs' runaround so we really have no need for self levelling.

If I install regular shocks (I'm looking at the Bilstein ones), I assume I need to disable the SL pump.  Is there a convenient fuse to pull or connector to undo? 

Cheers,
Ian

I think it`s fuse #27. The connector will be under offside wing where the S/L pump is

Is #27 in the drivers footwell?  ..and not going to take out anything else?

No, the compressor is all it feeds.  :y

One of the 2 smaller relays by the cabin fuse box runs the compressor IIRC. Can always just pull that?

Long time no see, Ian. Trust you are well?

I will have another look at my preface lift, but I'm sure the fuse just does the compressor.  ;)

Thanks chaps.
All well and good here Kevin - apart from another dose of snow overnight, getting fed up with it. >:( 

I will have a fiddle later on when I brave the elements.
Going to have to tackle the powersounder on the 3.2 as well soon.
