Thanks very much for this invaluable video! I have watched (and helped) while a local garage did the pumping up a couple of times, but now have my own hand-held pump - I hope it's going to work!

You should be rolling and jouncing the suspension before taking measurements. Ideally you should roll and jounce then press down on the suspension and take a measurement. Repeat, but this time lift the vehicle up by hand and take another measurement. Now add the two measurements together and divide by two. This will give you the average.

Thanks for the video. However, I cannot clearly see the measurement between the center of the wheel hub and the start of the fender. Would you please indicate it to me in centimeters? Owned a 2000 MG F Thank you

There is now a kit available, consisting of shock absorbers and progressive springs. But, it's very expensive. I recently found a couple on ebay for between 999 and 1200 Pounds Sterling which, in my view, is quite a bit, considering that shock absorbers are parts subject to wear and eventual replacement. Theoritically, the best solution, in my view, would to somehow adapt the pump, fluid reservoir and level regulator from a Citroen onto older MGFs. Anyone designing a kit of this sort could then justify a high price for a system which should deliver dependable service for the entire life of the car. The ride would be comfortable and the handling simultaneously sporty

The front and rear spheres on each side are connected by pipework, so there are only the two valves shown, one per side.

Thank you for the tutorial video. I have just tried pumping up my Allegro using a pump very similar to that one but there was no resistance when pumping the lever up and down and no fluid was pumped into the car. I thought the pump was faulty. However, watching this video it seems the valve on the pump has to be open while you are pumping? Perhaps that's why I had no resistance? I had the valve closed on the pump to prevent all the fluid from the car leaking into the pump reservoir. The pressure on the gauge showed 250psi. Did I do it wrong? Should I have opened the valve before I tried pumping? Thanks, Martin

Please see the reply below to this question that you have already asked ;) Though, as it happens, we now do a full replacement Hydragas sphere kit. They are reconditioned and refilled with gas. You send us your undamaged, uncrushed old spheres as a part exchange. The part number on our website at rimmerbros.com is RP1974R
