Take it to a Garage they will fix it! Yea Right!!!

Post by kiwi »

Couple weeks ago after replacing the octopus pipe discovered the Height Corrector was leaking. Cut long story short couldnt under a pipe so took it to the loacl mechanics.

They hate working on Citroens as it is and I even left the handbooks on the passenger seat so they had a clue what to do. :wink:

Warned them to under the pressure valve and told them about the height selector even if I didnt its in the blardy books right?

Went to collect the car and would not come up at the front so said about the Height Lever? "The What said the mechanic......" :roll:
He had fitted the HC set in normal ride height.

Now I am pretty sure its ride height is higher than it was before! (wifes driving it) so any problems that could create is my question?

Hmm, if it is riding higher overall then adjusting it back down is not too hard. Anyway, if it's run on too high for too long there is a risk that the CV joints are working harder more of the time and might wear out quicker.
