Hi Everyone I have just joined, so I am hoping I can get some help with my 560 sec rear suspension. Basically there is a nasty rubbing noise from the rear when I have rear passangers or accellerating hard. I have been told it is the self levelling system valve and the best solution is to remove the whole system and replace with standard springs and shocks from the 500sec. So can anyone help me with the 1) quickest 2) cheapest solution.
Also the central locking is not working on any locks. I can hear/ feel the compressed air when I have removed on of the little valves from under the steering wheel/ dash.
Thanks

Quickest is to take it to someone who really knows these cars, who has experience with the self-levelling suspension, who can diagnose the problem accurately and quote to fix it

Cheapest is normally the same as above
