the plan is to get it back to normal lozz. its very high at the back for some reason.... needs adjusting back to normal.
looks like some boy racer has had a boot full of big subs in there so maybe highered it a bit for when his mates were in the back as well ???

[lozz]

Daft question but does the car sound Squeeky at the rear end going over bumps,

[Gary406]

not noticed yet mate ?

[lozz]

it shouid be easy enough to lower if its been raised,

but id check it first properly before buying it,

got car lozz its only for my sisters 1st car. 1.4 saxo only give 500 for it. got planty MOT and shes only plannin on keepin it till end of that anyway why she saves up for a newer car..

drives well , i drove it the 5 miles back home. 1st time iver ever drove a saxo. like a little go kart round corners compaired to the 406 lol

what engine oil should these engines use ? 10w 40 ?

[Gary406]

heres a pic of it. not bad for 500 quid i think . 9 month MOT on it

that looks about the right height at the rear to me. you may think it looks high as most that you see have been lowered. does anyone know what the ride-height is meant to be set at ?? Welly (i think) used to know the ride height of the 406, can we find out what these left the factory set at ?

theres loads of info out there on how to lower/raise the torsion bar, heres one
