Post a wanted add in test zone for the disc or check uk or German eBay. Or there's the Navtek(?) web site, not cheap though.

There's a we test    http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1250308202   for sl suspension, se how you go. Pull the conectors off the shock body if it won't lower. Hopefully you'll be able to see if the pump or sensor is not releasing or responding.

firstly is you car a facelift model?

if so. F/L elite should measure around 675mm from ground to wheel arch , measuring through centre of wheel. Which should be more or less the same as the front.  This is with an almost unladen boot.  F/L MV6 models seem to measure 660mm  generally. their ride is slightly lower & firmer..

After you have measured, leave overnight & re measure before starting car to see if there is a difference.

I have had the same problem recently, my car was 660mm at the front & 690mm at the rear.   Spent several weeks trying to sort it.. in the end my car had been fitted with incorrect replacement rear springs.

looks good now though  ;D ;D

If you can be bothered to trawl back through my threads on "Rear Springs " from about 6 weeks ago there is quite a bit of corespondance  from oofers on this subject.  Sorry i cannot link you to it as not too good on the computer.

Lastly,  PM sent about Nav disc. :y :y :y :y

as for the measurement, rear both measure just over 26.5inches(675mm). so that seems normal, it could just be me, but the wheels looks lost on the rear end

If the PMs are about 'knocking off a copy' for people:

a) Its illegal and breaks our rules to discuss, publically or privately (though obviously the latter cannot be enforced)
b) CDRs will quickly knacker the NCDC2013/5 headunit, and spares are now dried up, so stick to genuine disks ;)
