Self levelers.
Simple question.
Maybe not such a simple answer. How do the self leveling shocks work that are fitted to the Rover 75? IF that is the correct name for them.

Nivomats.
Does this help at all?
https://blog.fcpeuro.com/everything-...%20air%20lines. I know the article is Volvo related, but it also applies to our cars (where self levelling rear suspension is fitted).

Hello Paul. Are you sure every 75 is fitted with self levelling rear suspension? I'm not sure my Cowley built V6 has it. Moreover I've swapped the 4 shock absorbers when I bought her (they were fully worned) for new TRW ones I know nothing about. Thank you for clarifying my poor knowledge. Arnaud

The self levelling rear suspension was only fitted to some tourers, it was an optional upgrade I believe.

Thanks Paul.
I'm relieved because I've got all the genuine Rover workshop manuals (in French, from a then Rover dealer) and I hadn't seen anything of the sort anywhere.

It was an optional extra/upgrade on Tourers I chose it for mine.
