Hi All,
Can anyone explain how i can lower the rear end back down as it is currently about six inches from tyre to wheel arch!!!
I know the self leveller maybe seized but i need to get it back down as it is way way to high I am going to have a look at the sensor when i can park at the front of my own house not half way down the road! why do people abandon their cars on other peoples fronts? bloody annoying . TIA Des

pull the air hose off the shock body, release the r/clip and pull. IIRC the pump is the cause ,going by other post, its not releasing air. Not has the issue myself.

not sure how quick the car will drop so dont trap your hands in the wheel arch.

sorry typo, posts, plurel, others have had same issue, also worth checking the level sensor, see maintenance.

Yup - mine did this.  I would find after a few days the rear of the car was up in the air.  I used to reach underneath and pop the hose of the compressor as mentioned above.  It does drop quite quickly though so do be careful.  Only stick your arm underneath - not your body or you'll regret it!

I never solved the problem - both arms on the front/rear wishbones were in place, but I think the wiring had come adrift somewhere along the line.  I ended up just waiting until the back looked about right and then disconnected the compressor electrics.  Makes very little difference unless your towing or putting really heavy stuff in the boot.
