240 Avantegarde is low down

[Chris Evans]

I have a P registered 240 Avantegarde Est and it is very low down. I took it in to a garage and they said that they "think" it needs new springs.

I do not like them saving "think" can anyone tell me if they know of any other reason that it could be low down all round (when I go over speed bumps with 4 people in it bottoms out). Does it have self leveling suspension?

Thanks, as you can tell I am not mechanical and I've been conned by mechanics in the past

its sounds like the rear shockers are leaking, got a sensor on the chassis which adjustes the rear ride hight, not un common!!!

Thanks for that, I've tried to get a workshop manual for the car but can not find one. Do you know where I can get one from?

Where will I find the sensor?

just above the diff on the floor, little lever with a 10mm nut,

it has a link arm which should be connected to and operated by the rear anti roll bar. the ball joints on the link get old and fall apart
