Rover Metro suspension won't stay up

Dec 03, 2003 2 Replies

Hi, I own a Rover 114sli (P-reg) and am having some problems with the suspension. The drivers side - front and rear are currently sitting on their bump stops.



I have had the system re-pressurised and it stayed up for a couple of weeks, then when I came back to it it was on the bump stops again.



I know that the system in interconnected front and rear, so I just need to locate the leak.



The garage which repressurised the system couldn't locate a leak at the time. Is there a known leaking point, or is it possible that one or both of the hydragas displacers need replacing.



Incidentally the first time this happened it happened suddenly sitting in a traffic jam on the M1 - I pulled off the road and noticed some dripping at from underneath the car at the rear (on the drivers - could this be fluid?



Any plan of action? Should I replace the rear displacer? I assume as the car is sittng on the bump stops I don't need to depressurise the system.



Any advice gratefully received. Matt


Same as before, look for the leak, which is most commonly a pipe.
