If it's still hydro suspension, you get it pumped up by someone with a hydro pump.
I've got one- but Can-Bra is a bit far to go, check out your local Mini club. :wink:

Translation: If you have dry suspension try replacing the rubber cones or install Hi-Lo's (or similar) or both. Your cones might be fine (I doubt it unless you have replaced them recently) and some one has cut down the trumpets thus lowering the car.

It's a hydro Doc. The displacers seem ok. A pump up might do the trick you think?
