if you can do the sensor swap, be careful of the bolts. On mine they are held into the plastic casings on the sensor. There is a risk they may turn braking the plastic...

Mines a 95 so looks like I cant swap the sensor over, I'll try and have a look at it tonight. It might not even be connected up properly, this thing has been on springs for three years so there's bound to be a bit of messing around I suppose.
If I do need a sensor where's the best place to get them, I've seen a few second hand ones on eBay but not sure I fancy fitting one of them.
Thanks

if you can afford new, all the better for yourself buddy. The quality is to suit your budget!!
If it went up to standard height and stayed there with engine running. Then dropped after you switched off, it is not the height sensor. You have a leak.
Get her sitting up again, switch off ignition and remove keys, then under the pax seat pull the tall eas timer relay out, this will freeze the system. Leave it overnight....if it still sinks, it is an air leak, if it is still at the right height it is more than likely a sensor.
Put timer rely back before you switch on ignition or it will throw a wobbler....

Have you tried Brian's test yet, before changing sensors??

If all else fails, go back to springs and give me all yer airy stuff
That's blown it. Wammers will have to wipe down his screen now.
Jesus... I suppose if it's not run a while, it wanted to stay asleep
Was the grub screw properly tightened that holds the piston onto the shaft? Check that even if it is brand new. I had a new one once that was loose and it ripped itself to shreds.
Yes, these cars are sent to test us. For the first year or two I damn nearly gave up several times but since then, well, I'd better whisper, it has been the most reliable motor.
