I actually rang KYB in Warrington ( assume this is where they're made) and she tells me they've been discontinued

[Lazydocker]

If you want to keep the self levelling option, just fit standard springs. I've done it a couple of times now with no ill effects... In fact, it made the back end feel a little better.

Can't do it the other way but standard springs with SL shocks is ok

[vauxsull]

Really??? I would be more than happy to do this but i would like to hear if someone disagrees with this?

[Lazydocker]

Yep... In fact, I tend to fit heavy duty springs to help tidy the back end up, especially as I have LPG to think of.

What do you think they fitted to Plod cars with SL?

[vauxsull]

Well spank my arse and call me Susan... Thinking I shall just get springs then...quoted £128 tonhave two standard springs supplied and fitted.. Gonna fit them myself ..

[vauxsull]

Would heavy duty springs give it a sit up and beg stance or will it sit the same height?

Also on a second note... Car also failed on nearside headlamp stating that its a left hand drive unit hence the odd beam pattern.. It passed MOT over last several years with no mention of this?? Bit dubious if MIT tester knows his stuff

As far as I am aware, the 'kick' emitted from the lamp is nothing to do with the MOT.  It's just the beam direction which is tested.  Do you have a failed adjuster?

[vauxsull]

I haven't looked at any adjuster my friend.. I wa just gob smacked he said it was a left hand unit.. The cure is to replace it or ( and this is what he's going to do)?is stick one of those yellow wotsits over the lens you get from Halfords to alter the beam.

There is a small lever to the inside edge of the headlight which removes the 'kick'.  It's to allow you to drive your RHD car abroad without sticking stupid stuff over the lenses.  Drive your car a few feet from a wall and switch the lights on.  One lever should be up, and the other down if memory serves me right.

[vauxsull]

I never knew this !!!!!! I will have a look at that in the morning 

[vauxsull]

Can anyone tell me to the exact point where this lever inside the headlight is to adjust beam? Bearing in mind its on the side of the battery so access is limited to see. Is it behind the rubber cover over the bulb connection?
