Oh, I agree, the air system is very trick and as long as you don't over stress it by running high all the time it will last well. My worry is, at $2k for 4 bags, plus a couple of hundred $ for international shipping, I might get busted for uk customs duty and sales tax which would add roughly...

Thanks, yeah, importing wouldn't be a problem. I've bought from Takakaira in Japan, an Ebayer in Malaysia, and another in HK for various bits I've needed for my old GT4/All-Trac and now for the Celsior.

Unfortunatley, weeks on, I'm no closer.:damnit: Nobody stocks decent coilovers in the UK for the LS/Celsior. Arnotts are the cheapest for bags (anyone know a way of testing the pump etc so I don't waste time and money on airbags), or about £1000gbp+shipping on Jic coilovers. And we get the...

Just found it myself.

Seriously, the beer trick works. I was driving so it was a bottle of alcohol free, so no great loss if it spilled, at a local import night at a pub near me. One of the guys I know remembered it from the launch days, and suggested we tried it. It didn't even froth the beer. Smoother than a mink...

It will be a daily driver, for fast roading, not trackdays. I like a little comfort though. What made me think about the Airbags is that my boss uses his wife's RX300 to tow the trailer at work (the DB9 is saved having a hitch fitted). The air suspension feels so solid, and even yet comfy at the...

OK, I have a 91 Celsior. I bought it for bargain bucket money, so the minor flaws and lack of history aren't a problem. I can either drive it into the ground and lose nothing, or have fun now, spend money when needed and fix it up. It is a UCF11, but the airshocks have been replaced with fixed...

It isn't that bad. For £800GBP any Mercedes I bought would have been rotten, asthmatic and barely moving, a BMW would have been boy racered to hell, and any ford/vauxhall/citroen/puegoet etc would be a pile of rusty flakes with no MOT and a small 4 cylinder engine. At least with this, I can...

Just outside Manchester England, home of Liquid Sunshine.

to be honest it is probably closer to 112k as I think it is about 180k kilometers on the clock. The 6 CD changer still works great. I know I should get the cam belt changed at that mileage as the car has absolutley zero history. Are there any visible signs of cambelt wear? Biggest issue is...

Had a 1991 celsior with about 100k miles, in the UK, for a couple of months now. Nice car, but the air struts have been swapped for shocks/springs which cause a lot of dive. Also, there is a rip in the drivers seat that needs repair and the aircon is out of gas. Other than that, a great car...
