Have all F/L estates got rear self levelling shocks ?
-
No, it depends on the model
-
Easy way to tell is have a look at the headlight switch, if there's a wheel to alter the headlight height then it's not self levelling ;)

Thought that was only for the HID lamps and worked from sensors on the front suspension. Maybe my fault am asking about the rear shocks. The cars a 2.2 cdx 2001 estate model

All 3 of my cars (cd spec with bog standard lights) have had this facility.

Aren't you're confuddling self levelling headlights and suspension. They two separate systems

Sl is elite only, and rarely some plod.

OK had a quick look underneath the rear today and the shocks had what i can only describe as a tyre valve cap sized thing at the top

but do they have a thin air line going to the side of each shocker? .... towards the top of them ;)

Looks like a very thin black plastic tube or wire tucked right up out of the way. If they are where does the air from (compressor ?)

Under the front bumper/driver's side wing. :y :y

As Andy says.....

You should hear it pumping when you first switch on ignition. :y

Cheers Andy i'll have a look tomorrow. Thanks Albitz know what am looking for now. Must have one as i have a receipt dated 2010 from VX for a replacement but all it says is compressor motor. There is a clicking when i turn on. Been trying to trace the noise for 2 days now, thought i had something wrong going on

Shine a torch up between the front of the wheelarch liner and the back of the bumper and you should see it.I dont think Ive ever heard of a cdx having self levelling though. :-\

Car was owned by a guy from Blenheim Palace with loads of money. Think he saw the accessory list and said yes please. Things like Found out today if i turn the air con on cold air is blown in the glovebox. Elec folding mirrors, auto dim mirror, leather memory seats. heated f & r. It's even got Wilton over mats. Would have been cheaper buying a Elite model

.... cold air is blown in the glovebox. Elec folding mirrors, ......
Cooled glove box was dropped here at the mini facelift and folding mirrors seem to be like finding the mythical Holy Grail ....... I might have to call this summer & validate your claim! ::) ::) ::) :y :y

No problem Andy your more than welcome. If you've got a caravan you can set it up in one of the fields for a week or two. Yes it has a compressor under the wing. It did take me over a year and a few trips to the UK to find this car
