What are the facts about charging a battery connected or not connected when using using a battery conditioner or standard charger?
...
My '54 Plod estste had standard factory Rough Road (aka HD springs) with standard factory shocks including working self levelling rears, (replaced with genuine VX sourced replacements all round).
My last Omega, '52 2.2 GLS estate had completely replaced suspension, including Sachs shocks and Kilen springs (engine appropriate at the front and HD at the rear.
The ride height of both cars was identical.
QED.
Incidentally, my last 3.2 Elite estate (ordered new with the Irmscher styling kit) was retrofitted with Irmscher springs and shocks (self levelling delete as it wasn't compatible) and sat about 30mm lower.
Also if you look at the physical Irmscher catalogue, it gives the appropriate spring weights for any given model.
The ride height issue you describe is because people have either fitted Elite springs to non Elite cars or replaced the self levelling shocks with standard ones and not changed the springs to match.
The flashing EML tells you that it's miss-firing as the only other time that it flashes (in my experience) is during immobiliser faults in which case it wouldn't start.
All saloons use the same rear, and all estates use the same rear.
