I would just pump it up... if it blows any bags someone offered you some, I have a bunch of 12 also. :wink:

Listen to the Doctor, 320/330 isn't going to blow the bags if they are taking 300 already. You need to look carefully at what has been said above and check each item one at a time.

Otherwise, go to a Mini expert to get it sussed out :idea:

got the hydro pumped up today and looks alot better than it did, raised the car bout and inch. Pumped it up to around 320-330, was on around 280 before being pumped, the specialist advised me (as did others on here) if i wanted to go any higher to put the packing spacers in..... driving home was alot smoother, i was truly "floating on fluid" alot better than ridin on bumpstops :lol: i cant se any leaks anywhere so i will have to keep an eye out and see how it goes. so heres a few pics

this is the new ride height

no longer sitting on the bumpstops!!! :D

oh! and mr. mini ticked over 80000 miles on the way there!

cheers all for the help, ill be sure to keep in touch with you mokesta

You'll be fine - my car is still hydro and I just get it pumped up to what ever height I find desirable. If one of the bags blows again (it had one bag blow about 30 years ago) there are heaps of people that have them stored away. Don't start thinking that there aren't many around.

Glad to hear eveything is going smoothly (pun intended)!
