BrightonRX300

Could not really say .my only observation is that is was very comfortable ...

If you get the ride hide correct to factory spec on the new springs 

I really dont think there is any difference

Cheers

Jon

I sold the car to good an offer to turn down 

And I have a motor traders policy so does not affect me lol

Cheap as chips

Fabulous ride . Cant fault the shocks recommend to anyone .yes was expecting you Thursday.  

I'm going to look out for replacement the Rx400h  Is very reasonably priced second hand just need to wait for the right deal to come along 

well Was made an offer i could not refuse so sold My RX300 

onto the next one 

😂😂😂😂😂

Just wanted to remind owners of this excellent  advice 

just worked for me on my RX300 SE-L 

topic originally by hopeful

My CD on my RX is a bog standard but it gives me these errors from time to time, had a few the last month or so when the car is cold, may be the discs are too cold or when the car warms quickly there may be condensation on the disc which will give a read error.

The first few times I had a real problem ejecting the discs until I came upon a simple solution.

Turn the unit off

Then turn off the engine so that no lights are on on the dash

Push down and hold the power button on the cd player, whilst holding it down, turn the key to power up the unit.

Remove your finger from the power button, you may need to press again to switch it on. Error should now clear.

This has never failed to clear the faults I have had ranging from unreadable discs to un-ejectable discs.

Just hope the threads 

Help people realise that the suspension Air or Coil is not such a complex issue the whole thing really is 5 bolts and a drop link  

few pics from refitting rear trim on my 2004 car .

probably a 2003 Build.

New amp arrived was fitted,straight forward plug and play 

sound system all up and running Yipeeeee.

Cleaned a lot as i refitted 

straight forward methodical process 

also re colored all those unreachable parts 

while the rear was disassembled .

so i was getting a few boy racer screech's on going round corners 

contacted the Taiwan Seller and they sent me back a good reply 

re ride height of the vehicle 

just removed front wheels and adjusted spring settings to match rear 

and the difference is outstanding and noise screech cured .

took the opportunity to photo pre and then ride height higher post settings 

all four corners now the same and will run in tonight and get a feel for the girl .

1st photo is how it arrived front setting i do suspect customs had a play about .

The rest of the pics are following adjustment and also general so you can see full shock wheel off.

..

..

will have to look that up . no compass on mine lol

use ful for the stock height settings to get correct wheel camber if converting 

bought these on eBay a user called pb_brakes2   they are based in Taiwan

excellent communication from start to finish 

and superb delivery 

I ordered from UK Wednesday night and they arrived Monday mid morning 

prepare to pay about £90 on top import duty 

Yes good idea re greasing, have not yet as i used the car extensively last night to bed them in 

and i will remove the wheels tomorrow to recheck all tight as torqued up 

also need to get 2 tyres replaced and have a bit of a screech on corners at low speed so probably need to 

adjust the camber i have already noticed i need to lift front springs about another inch as it sits lowish 

light height adjusters seem to work as it says on the tin and as for the ride the seller warns you 

its considerably firmer but i have found it to be very very comfy 

so car now almost back together just waiting for 

reolacement ML amplifier

However suspension now all refitted car test driven 

no grunts and groans handles well 

and brakes well .

couple of pics attached 

not the best as i was so engrossed in putting it all together 

that I totally forgot 

Re assembly time from start to test drive 3 hours 48 mins 

and that was with endless coffee breaks 

all torqued up to right lbs and will recheck all in a few days 

new set up came from Taiwan ..Paid Wednesday UK time  in the evening 

all arrived at my premises this morning at 11,30 am...

Superb Service

pair sensors bargain 

here are photos of the products used 

completely treated underneath and all wheel arches

total product cost about £100 

estimate 4 cans of each product 

and then a leisurely 4 hours or so to coat all multiple times 

i have a pair of rear sensors going for a bargin let me know if interested also good condition drivers side air suspension 

and bucket price  

excellent link Thankx 

Having stripped out air suspension 

I have been emailed and supplier confirms new coils/dampers here Monday.

In the meantime I have used a super strong rubber sealant called (Master Bond)just to lightly coat the the suspension mounting points its used to install vehicle windscreens and then completely treated and rubber coated undercarriage to weather proof .

Reassembled rear bumper after rubber coating steel bumper crash bar and chasis frame normally covered up 

And removed compressor fuse 

Delved  into the dash and snipped a wire to remove warning light and bravely fired up the car on Jack's to check and run system diagnostic. 

No warnings  no lights on that shouldn't be and all runs well,even on blocks! 

Air suspension will permanently show the pretty green dot  next to Hi, and it does 😀

Have today thrown caution to the wind and ordered used working ML Amp to replace existing assumed faulty unit and also the wheels having a light refurb and ready for Tuesday. 

2 good part worns replacing two of the existing tyres also once refurb to alloys done.

New wheel nuts ordered just to finish it off .

Soon as amp arrives I can get most of the boot loading area reassembled 

Leaving me just to fit the new suspension 

And drive off into the sunset !!!!

Lots of new photos attached ..
