    What is the tyre valve at the back of the vehicle for?

    I have a tyre valve at the back of my series 3 which I think the seller told me was to adjust the suspension. Is that correct? And if so, to what pressure should it be inflated? It would be great if I could adjust the suspension, at the moment every speed bumb I go over is bone shattering!

    Sounds like it has airbags fitted. Have you looked underneath, there should be some round rubber bits sitting in the centre of the spring. They'll have a hose connecting back to the valve.

    it will probabley have air adjustable shockies.

    drop them down to 10PSI (never run them dead flat) take a lap of the block, if its too soggy pump them up again)

    if its got airbags the same principals apply.

    you most likely have Superlift shock absorbers if you only have one Schrader valve at the rear. These have an air bag surrounding the upper part of the shockie.
