Actually it could well be a selling point as any discerning buyer of an Exclusive will check the pneumatic suspension, knowing it's a weakness. | ||

Does anyone have any experience of asking a main dealer to use Lexia to decomission the pneumatic suspension to avoid the fault codes, are they happy to do it? | ||

Ah ok. So this has come out since i made my comment earlier, I see there's a few different threads for this. Wonder if the dealers check Facebook on a regular basis?? We probably know more than them. I wonder what they'll be charging for them this time. | ||

This is an unnacceptable situation in my view; I have the same problem but have got a conversion kit coming (not my preference but can't afford the car sat on drive) Spoke to my dealership and they said they had 6 sets on back order. I wonder how many over the country and Europe are in the same position without answers, This position must have arrisen on vehicles before and a Group of people taken leagl action to force a response, at least raise it with [%*^#@!]. Thoughts anybody? |

I have Dave, they could give no answers as to when and said they had x6 customers already on back order. My point was really about them acknowledging a problem and providing a free of charge replacement, clearly within reason, say the vehicle has done under 90k miles. | ||

Hi In recent months I've noticed that the rear suspension on my Exclusive is down when I return to it after a couple of hours. Remotely unlocking the car makes the compressor kick in, but sometimes, if I just jump in and drive away, I get the "low suspension" warning, advising me to not go above 5mph. It quickly rights itself, and the suspension comes up to its normal height. Is this normal, or do I have the start of a problem? |

Bear in mind if you do modify your car from the standard spec you'll have to inform your insurers (and most likely pay a premium for doing so). Failing to do so may invalidate your claim if you ever have one. | ||

Hi, It took me a while to find this thread. I had a mental block and only looked in the faults section of the forum. Thanks to all for putting the info we need to carry out the conversion. I managed to get the cup & rebound block from my local dealer (had to lie about why I wanted the parts, they don't want us to convert them). I am a bit unsure which springs to go for. Some suppliers list a different spring for a GP with panoramic sunroof, others just list the one. I don't have the sunroof, so which ones should I go for? I suspect the springs will be stiffer for the sunroof version as the body may not be as rigid. |

I take it that this refers to the panoramic roof that, according to a dealer in Scotland, doesn't exist (would have used a smiley emoticon, but for some reason it won't work.) [Admin edit: Yes, it does!  ]
