Hello all,

Just wondering, what is the consensus of lowering the suspension to access height when parking the car overnight.
Is it good practise or does it just result in the compressor working more over time, without any added benefit.

What are your views, Thanks,

Ian

Being only 5' 7" always use access height when leaving the car! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

I do the same, I always lower the height to make it easier to get in and out and easier on the side of the seat.

I don't know about the effect on the compressor though.

I put it into high to watch people try and jump....ripping the plastic off the A pillar has been an unwanted side effect

Used to lower it everytime for the first few days as I thought it looked cooler that way but now I do not bother anymore. In fact now when I do lower it it looks like a regular estate, wrong somehow.

I lower mine to make it harder to steal the Cats.
