24v Carlton Diamond estates had the auto self levelling with the pump mounted under the n/s front wing. Had two of them, exellent cars

Two cars accounts for about half of production for them, then

Thanks for the info.

The ones I have are Manual self leveling ones from my old Carlton Estate.

So as far as rear shock geometry goes, LC=Carlton=Senator=Omega B. The only difference is that the LC has longer rear track rod adjusters than GSi, and so the pick up points are also moved further inboard on the rear subframe. 

So from this they should fit.

Just wondered as when towing my caravan the rear end sits a bit low and it would be nice to pump it up a bit like I could do with my old Carlton.

The Cavalier CD had this feature, too, and a bladdy good idea I thought it was, too. Given the amount you actually need a bit more height in the back (like your towing a caravan) a couple of mins with an air line did us right for many years. Not as cool as an automatic self levelling system, but nevertheless rather good.

lol only just seen this thread, for you info I fitted carlton manual self levellers onto my pfl Omega estate TD, it was done as i had a towbar and regularly towed the track day senator on a rather heavy trailer, just loaded the car and then blew them up to the right height, they were on there for six years then transferred them to the facelift extate,and were on it when i did sell it!!
