Hi guys im new here and to soarers so please be gentle
Ive just picked up a 91 V8 limited and although its in really good condition theres a problem
Its sitting really low and is as bouncy as hell. My eyes are still shaking.The height switch is broken. It doesnt pull left or right. The sport and normal mode dont seem to make much difference. Then after about 20 miles the TEMS warning light came on the dash. Is it fooked? Please tell me its not because although I got the car real cheap im pretty skint at the mo Sad
I cant see fixing the height switch will make much difference will it?
Im worried its sitting so low too. Cant see top of tyres
Any help much appreciated
Thanks

Hi Elliot,
It sounds like your suspension controller is not working, first of all check in your boot there is a switch on the left hand side, make sure its on, next check your fuse box in the engine bay, check the "air suspension" fuse, it could be blown?? Can you hear the controller working at all? It sounds like a small air compressor sort of sound.

If the boot switch is in the wrong position (off) when driving there will be a Japanese warning message on your dash.

There was Brett when i picked it up so I turned the switch to on with no difference except the warning went off.
Off to check fuses now but if not I reckon its going to cost me a bit
Still, I love every other aspect of the car :-)
