Got a friend who's metro's suspension has sagged so much it looks totally slammed and the front tyres rub the arches occasionally. Now while I think this is mildly cool, she doesn't (unsuprisingly). So I said I'd ask about it!
So, how do you do it? I've not jacked the car up, but when I peeked, I couldn't see an air valve?!
Thanks!

The valves are under the bonnet on those, one each side towards the rear of the engine compartment. You need a special hydragas pump to do it, its not air thats used, its hydragas fluid! If you can get the car up here ill blow it up for her (the suspension)
Once pumped up the little metro should be much nicer to drive.
Just thought, it maybe an Austin metro rather than a Rover one, I think theres another valve at the rear somewhere...

Austins have the 2 at the front and one at the rear, Rover ones just have 2 at the rear. ;-)

Are you deffo sure? I blew the missus rover 100 up a while back and I'm sure I did it via the bonnet. The Allegro is done via the bonnet, maybe I'm getting confused.
Are those my feet?

Allegedly, a footpump submerged in a bucket of hydro fluid will do the job nicely.
Do more research before putting a welly on though - it may be a myth, I have ever tried it myself.

you can get the pumps on ebay aswell,might be worth investing if your planning on doing any suspension work in the future.
