Help With Rear Shocks.
« on: 19 March 2010, 21:27:51 »
Hi, I want to fit standard shocks to the rear of my Elite and do away with the air shocks, what is the best method to disable the air system and is there any other work needed?

               Thanks,
                         Pete.

Unplug the compressor ...  :) (It really is THAT simple) .. personally I'd seal the connections against water ingress as well..

Don't know if it's relevant .. but my "version" of the fuse box has the level control on 2 fuses ... 15 .. which does loads of other stuff .. and 27 ...  neither of which are top right !!!

Pages 186/187  ??

Perhaps the early cars are very different ??
