Post by: carracarra13 on October 08, 2008, 20:30:20
Got a quandry with the rangrover (my m8 didnt come up with the cash as we had her for sale ) glad he did not as fitted lpg tank and pipe work my self very easy ( thanks to all at RPI esp Ant you got the patiants of a saint)  I divers fiom the question, on the rear end of a rrc suspension we noticed while up on the ramp there should be a single what I can only discribe as a mono shock missing is this common?  would it affect the rangrover as in safty as she seems to handle well,( the planed lift of suspension has had to be persponed as gas tank had to be done first)

Hi, you will be talking about the self levelling unit. Usually makes handle like a [ed: naughty], but expensive to replace. About 250 squids then you'll also need to replace the bushes etc. O/K when its working and stops the back end from bobbing up and down. Bazz.

If it's missing that might explain why yours sits down st the back.

You could just put Disco rear springs on, they didn't have them either.

That's a good question.  I can't think why it would sit higher with the SLU removed, they aren't that heavy.  Thing is the SLU only works when the car is moving/the suspenion is working.  It's the pumping action that raises the SLU, a bit like a tappet 'pumping up'.
