Silicone spray along the belt and work back and forth.

The parts are even stamped as nissan and Renault.
Yup, retrofitted a load of stuff to an x class the other day and the looms had Nissan all over them, and the citan has Renault stickers all over it.
What he’s saying is Mercedes - like most manufacturers - are in cahoots with a load of others, basically so they can sell the same product with a few upgrades for a lot more money.

And a Renault.

Not on a mondeo no.

It’s like the opposite of a cup, think of it like a tapered flute \_/

No cups, pressed splines.

Kill two birds - drive down hill, knock it into neutral and bounce the throttle off the limiter.

Just park on the grass.

Tbf who doesn’t lock up their car when they leave it anyway. I’d be more worried about the car or it’s contents going walkies rather than a flat battery.
However saying that I’d say there is something wrong with your car if something isn’t going to sleep simply because you haven’t locked it.

Just for the record my favourite flavour ice cream is pistachio. But there is only one place in a town called Cromer where they do it just right.

The bags you get for a lupo are much of a muchness really, sleeves at the back and ‘burger’ type at the front. The thing that seems to make the most difference I’ve found is the size of lines you use, but that’s mainly for speed of raising. You’ll be hard pushed to find any noticeable difference between them in terms of ride quality, because that’s dependant on the inflated state of the bag itself, you’ll be paying more of a premium for quality of materials.

It’s getting them to work with the car that’d be the issue, sure pressure only reading ones can be a little hit and miss, but for the most part they are perfectly fine and it also saves on cost and fault finding down the line.
I ran the v2 set up on my daily old mk4 anni and even with slight reading variances it never looked or drove funny. It’s never going to be off by THAT much.
As for bags I’d be happy to just get them off eBay, already listed for the job and 9 out of 10 times they’re coming from the eBay account of an actual air ride distributor anyways, not just some bloke in a shed importing them in cheap from Romania.

You should think yourself lucky, he borrowed an axle off me nearly 4 years ago...

I’ve seen it, im pretttttty sure she doesn’t.

Why not go for the 3p? Or the v2? Regardless, that’s just management, they’d inflate a paddling pool if you strapped one to an airline coming out of the manifold.Â
As long as you can find a set of bags to run safely in each corner then the management will do the rest.

I’ve seen loads of high spec track cars running air set ups. Just saying....
My new Lupo is broken 😔

Isn’t a garage and a mechanic pretty much the same thing? Or does your mechanic just go work for each of the garages you take your car to?
