My Series won’t go in the local tip. The snorkel hits the bar. I have to sneak over the border to Cheshire where they have higher barriers.

At least you 110 owners can lower the car. Those of us that were tight and didn’t tick the option for it on the 90 might struggle. 23.5MY 90 D250 X-Dynamic SE, Pangea Green

Could always let air out of the tyres to further lower it.... Whistle Could that be the excuse to spec the built in compressor? Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
