| So far the air suspension is great. It's used all the time for ease of entry and exit, and getting in to car parks. I did find a height limit for one car park of 1.9m which was irritating as that's to ... |

| Just got a new EGR and was expecting gaskets to be supplied with it. Have I got to order gaskets or are they re-usable? |

Hmm, was this on a 2.2 PUMA? It looks like the EGR valve for the 2.2 has coolant pipe attachments on it, maybe the valve separates from the cooler? Or was your EGR on a 2.4?
Sorry, I should have said ... |

| So the workshop manual and Haynes manual both say drain the coolant, but there's no mention of that on the forum that I can find. Does that mean it's drained to swap the cooler? Draining is not needed ... |

| After taking 6 people to a couple of places, the lowered suspension definitely makes it easier for ingress and exit. The rear step is very close to the ground. Whereas before there was a lot of grunti ... |

| To stop the bags over pressurising, the controller will allow air out when the bag compresses as you drive along so will need to top back up now and then. This is why the compressor will kick in for s ... |
