Front level sensors

Got a saggy front Sad . When I park her up. Now I have got replacement valve block.
Compressor refurbished by previous owner. Thinking about replacing front level sensors! While I'm at it, But I see in the Haynes book I have to have them re calibrated after fitting. Is this a you have no choice thing?. Big Cry Thanks.

I wouldn't replace the sensors.

Try removing the 20A suspension fuse under the bonnet, and see how the car sits in the morning.

If one corner has a leak, the car automatically drops all corners to level out. (unless the small fuse is out)

You may see one corner down. Which would help poi point a leak to a corner

Was the block 2nd hand? If yes, buy some £15 seals off ebay and fit.

If that doesn't help, change the seals in the middle valve block next to the compressor.

Was thinking about replacing level sensors while doing air block, just to cover all possibles but saw it requires computer to re calibrate. New air block is 2nd hand and Waiting to be fitted. Fuse f26e was out last night and front was down on stops. Old air block I think has pooed itself. Drops quite quick. 2hrs.

it's not worth buying and fitting sensors for the fun of it.

There are plenty of other suspension bits to change first
