Hi all,
Thanks for all your replies on my mysterious dashboard light, i got it sorted or rather it sorted its self! lol! I've got another one i'm pulling my hair out over! I have recently replaced the rear height corrector for a new one, now i cant get the rear of the car too sit right, can anyone help me with the adjustment of the rear and tell me what to do! How to do it! And wot i'm doing wrong please!

Thanks ronnie

{W reg, that'll be March - August 2000 then (or Aug 1981 to Jul 1982) - I'll go with the former}

Hi Ronnie

First make sure that the plastic link to the height corrector is in place. If that's OK you will need to adjust the ride height, to do this you will need the car safely supported, preferably on a ramp. If you follow the rod from the corrector you will find the other end connected to a clamp around the anti roll bar, undo the clamp bolt and with the engine running, rotate the clamp round the bar until the correct height is obtained. The car can drop suddenly when you do this so you need plenty of clearance underneath.
