I don’t think my car has self levelling
There is no pipe connected to the shock that would carry compressed air 
(Unless I missed it lol I’ll have another lol )
All I could see was a wire very flimsy type I’ll try to take a pic tomorrow

The 'wire' is an airline to the shocks, it's how the self levelling works 

Elite springs are a softer rating than the non self levelling. Only change the shocks and you'll soon be thinking that you've broken something because it will drive like a squidgy sponge.

Before you disconnect what you deem a "wire" ..as said, its an airline held in with a spring clip... MAKE SURE THE BODY OF THE CAR IS SUPPORTED .. if you have raised the car on ramps without supporting the BODY you are in danger of serious injury .... if there is ANY air left in the boots, as you disconnect that "pipe" the air will escape and the whole body WILL drop .. and quickly .. if an arm, or even worse, a chest is underneath it will be pinned ....

BE BLOODY CAREFUL

Yes you were right guys that thin pipe is for the air
 I seriously would never had thought it would carry compressed air
Anyway got some new standard shocks kyb £75 for the pair and put lowering springs wich I had sitting in the shed it’s dropped the car by about 30mm so looking nice
Thankyou all for your help 👍

Unplug the compressor (under the OSF front bumper) or the level sensor (on the OSR trailing arm). Otherwise the compressor will be running all the time and you'll bu99er it.

Or easier still....Pull the relay out from the fuse box. That way both the external electrical plugs (compressor and level sensor) remain sealed and safe from water/salt/rust ingress.

Dunno why I didn't think of that first - Rioja overdose probably.
