My guess would be 'pre' as in pre-facelift.........aka the 2009 and earlier........just a guess though.

Tyres, then the suspension, height sensors, drivers seat will squeek then move then before you know it driving round a bend your in the passenger seat, repaired suspension will fail, battery, suspension, bank balance, marriage, will to live... Shocked

Joking of course Laughing , although these are perhaps some of the most chatted about topics here on the forum i myself have owned a 2006 S/C and i looooove it, yes i have the knocking suspension and the left leans when in access mode but i have a warranty ( very important ) so it will be repaired to a point.

I have trawled for weeks through this forum and i think ( correct me if i am wrong someone ) that there is no inherent issue with the S/C, most of the known issues are inherent on most sports.

My only wish is that i had read all this forum before i bought my S/C, not because i would not have bought one, i would just have checked before paying for my particular car the ride height sensors, suspension knock and sqweaky drivers seat, all of which have materialised on my car in the month i have owned it, but did not look for when purchasing it.

Its a great car, and if you do buy one you only question in life will be, what the hell do i buy next that comes close to this...great car. Thumbs Up

So I should have my sensors checked out. I dont have a warraty and that is what bothers me. No issues yet, but you want to be in the safe zone.

Sorry, i am assuming you have bought from your quote

Simples, drop your car to access mode and check outside if you car is leaning, either lean to left or right, do this in standard and extended modes, if the vehicle is level, all is fine, any lean would suggest height sensor problems.

Personaly i find a warranty a real piece of mind, there is a sponser ( can someone help with this? ) on this forum that supplies a real good warranty that, when you consider the labour charge of a dealer, is a bargain if something goes wrong...£100+ a hour labour, could pay for itself in one visit for repairs.

I understand. So it is just the air suspension that fails mostly?
