Lately i have noticed that the whole left side of the car seemed higher so i measured it and sure enough its a good 1-2cm higher. What's up with that, is it normal or is it from me jacking the car up that side for tyre change? I already tried to reset it by disconnect the battery for hour or so. and the boot switch 9 times and using High and TEMS. Now i'm checking the fuses.

Yep i searched around on here and google and tried a bunch of different things. Left it overnight with battery disconnected and then went for good 15mins drive next day and tried TEMS and Height but didn't help.

have you an after market height control fitted?? there are adjuster rods 1 for each wheel so you can adjust it back if needed ,but you do need to find out why it altered.

Thanks for the advice, i found some info for adjusting them but i would like to know what caused it. As far as i know , no after market height control....... i guess gonna have to pull out the back seat and double check. Also from searching around some people think its normal?? for one side to be higher (drivers side though, not passenger side like mine) lol

Myles, I often had the same problem before I converted to springs. I spent many hours adjusting the height sensor rods, playing around with both the suspension computer and aftermarket controller etc etc. Whilst I was able to minimise the height difference to within about 15mm (with some help from a few forum members), it was never perfect. In my opinion, the height sensors themselves were the problem. I think they were giving the computer inaccurate and inconsistent signals, which is why I could never adjust the height to an even level. Considering their age and the fact that they are somewhat exposed to the elements under the wheel-arch, this doesn't surprise me.

Yeah Ben now that you mention it i did notice a weird sound down on the front right side. Couldn't find anything else wrong with the rest of the suspension. Will check out the steering rack bushes. I mean is like a 3 finger gap on the whole right side and 4 fingers or so for the left.
Thanks for that info David i agree with you that it is probably something electrical like the sensors and i think I'll just save up for some coil-overs.
