Hi,
I just bought a mini-matic with the hydro suspension (obviously) and i'm guessing it has a leak coz the wheels are right up in the guards and she sits about 3cms off the road. So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of who to get to fix/pump them back up? I'm in south east melbourne, any advice or names and numbers thrown my way would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If there's a real leak it'll only be down on one side.
It probably just needs a pump up. They need this every year or 2. :wink:

As the Doc said...probably not a leak....go around to the back of the car, look under the bumper bar and find the two schrader valves (just like on the tyres)....are there valves in the both lines???

If yes...then someone may have just let the pressure out or the valves have failed and allowed the system to let down.

My car sat for five years and was down - i pumped it up with the BMC robot with the levers and it happily took fluid. Its not under that much preasure so leaks should be uncommon (at least on a car that has not been abused with the wrong fluid combinations).
