If I remember rightly once you have disconnected the handle from the body you can pull the rod and handle thro the opening and disconnect it outside.

Thanks but went out today and it self levelled all by itself.

Had a major failure with my suspension compressor (piston rod snapped in half) Replaced with "new" compressor and now the ride height seems low. When I had the failure the air springs didn't go down and I was able to drive for some time. Any answers on the ride height ? Sensors are fairly new...

Another problem where the sea air hasn't helped!

Notice you live on the coast, perhaps seawater corrosion.

Aftermarket fitted to a Volvo V50.

Got a duff xenon bulb. Cant find info on the bulb as to what wattage etc it is. All I can find on the bulb holder is 125oC and some other numbers that don't make any sense. Where do I find the correct info, wattage/output and even colour.

Duff wheel bearing!!

Sounds like level sensor.

Always used Bilsteins on my rally cars. Never had any problems.

Have mine done recently. Got the complete kit from YRM metal solutions around £53.00 galvanised.

I have to disagree with Sierra Ferry. I have had a very similar problem with the ancillary electrics and a new RF receiver solved it.

Perhaps I should have explained myself better. Yes the fob wont work with a bad receiver but having gained entry via the EKA code the engine will start but other ancillary electrics eg, wipers, indicators may perhaps not work properly.

Not necessarily. Information fed to the BCU and all sorts of problems can arise.

PNEUMATIC on the front of a D2? That's a new one on me !

Have you checked to see if you have a broken spring? Some times not easy to spot. Usually right at the bottom.

RECEIVER IN ROOF!!!

Quite likely the radio receiver in the roof.
