Still drooping - so I got underneath yesterday inbetween the snow and checked the height sensors.

On the front drivers corner that droops there was a nut (now I know where it went when I was doing the engine refresh and dropped it!) jammed against the connector, forcing it slightly outwards. I took the connector off and sprayed electrical contact cleaner in both sides. Then I worked it on and off quite a bit and then let it all dry before popping back togther. However this morning - drooping again!

I think I need to get one of those EAS cables - the OBDII to Serial/USB type - I have the EAS Unlock software already. At least I should be able to see if the height sensor is giving the wrong height reading I guess? I don't supose it matters which one I get off the Bay of E?

Tomorrow I'll change the rear brake pads as they are a bit squeaky now.... oh the joy of the P38!

Air in the bags is fine through the cold spell. I'm finding I'm losing around 5psi/ week from all of my tyres on both cars though. Strange...

Mine only started dropping on the front corner after i fixed all the air leaking out from the rear o-rings! LOL Ho hum - you fix one thing and it tries to kill itself with another!

Sounds familiar, don't blame the weather.
It's corrosion on the rim-shoulders. Take tire from the wheel, wirebrush the wheel shoulders where the tyre should be airtight.
Refit tyre. Or have a Kwikfit do it for you.

I agree, but it's interesting that, on the blue one, I don't have to top up pressure at all in summer. Haven't had the black one long enough to know.
I don't have a tyre changing rig in my workshop so it'll be my friendly local tyre fitter that does the removal/ refit, but that won't happen until I have the money to get the rims refurbished and powder coated at the same time.
In the meantime I'll just keep topping them up. It's not like I don't have compressed air to hand in the workshop!

I have the same problem, some times more than the other. Last week left-front lost 1 bar overnight, time to visit the shop.
They charge 18 euros per wheel included balancing.
