Four settings:

lowest - no suspension

first - normal driving mode

second - for driving slowly over obstacles

highest - not for driving (other than emergency and may cause damage) - changing a wheel, having a look underneath EDIT: drop onto axle stands if you are putting anything bigger than a hand underneath

I added that you should use axle stands if you are going to go beneath the car. I wouldn't be able to sleep if you got squashed :wink:

What Steve said: I bollocked my mate John for sticking his head under an unpropped car and he laughed at me. 10 minutes later we both watched as it dropped and came up by itself 3 times in a row. He thought I was doing it by remote control to prove my point.

BXs aren't modern cars, but that looks like a nice one and you'd enjoy driving it.

Hi, When I first set eyes on the bx I thought it was ugly.
Now I look forward to seeing it every day and it's a great car to drive. As in a previous post Roverman said you haven't driven it enough yet. Please give it some more chances !

My wife has only had this car of ours since about 1994 :D

Yeh what he says! You find most people fall into BX ownership by accident, my pops did 25 years ago and the rest is history.
