its a manual,with air but it dont work either, well the fan does out the middle vent , had wires start to smoke on me this arvo from the switch next to the heater control but will just have to replace them and the switch ,not good as was the first time the missus had been in the car and get round the corner and that happened,and no fire extinguisher (have now) pulled some burnt looking wire off the fuse box, and it stopped smoking so time to iron out the little bugs😊blush

very nice pod! when they settle it'll look even sweeter. that sits really nice, a good modest stance.

Are they the springs that were a factory option on caravelles in Europe? I heard that they were 30mm.

Also, how does it handle with the different wheel/tyre combo? What weel/tyre specs are they?

Thanks

I fitted factory lowered springs on my 90 Caravelle when I had it and they were only 30mm also - settled a little but not much more - still provide a nice ride

based on that aftershot photo i think a pair of 45mm springs that seem to be available from a few suppliers will be adequate (in terms of drop in ride height/looks) for my caravelle.
