It’s under the air compressor covers toward the front of it. It’s got 1 solanoid valve in it, I assume it allows air travel to the other 2. I replaced the o rings and serviced mine the other day. Jarrod

Hi mid, no problem at all. It’s a straightforward solanoid valve. As for improvement I don’t know yet I haven’t finished rebuilding the car. The pistons in all my valves were very stiff to operate. I ordered a kit off eBay which contained a full set of o rings and then stripped them, cleaned them all up with electrical cleaner and an air blow gun, re assembled with new o rings and lubricated with silicone spray. Very straight forward job but one HUGE WORD OF WARNING. If you disconnect the valves the suspension will lower to the floor ! Either support on stands or something similar and do not be under it ! I think the centre block just empties the air tank but not 100% sure.  Jarrod

I’m sure mine didn’t sink doing the middle one, I had the body off so was standing over it, when I started to remove the rear the bank end sank to floor and then also the front did the same when I did that one. Iirc the car had a hissy fit when back together last time because the hdc thought the car was in normal height when it was on the floor and to be honest I can’t remember what I did to reset it.

Did you replace or service the solenoid valve when doing this,I've can't seem to find a new one to buy on its own,just the complete block I just want to do what you've done but probably change the valve also
Any feed back would be welcome
Cheers mid

Hi mid, do you mean the centre one ? That’s the one in the compressor housing. I just took it apart, cleaned it out, blew the air lines out and then fitted new o rings with some silicone spray as a lubricant on reassembly. Jarrod

It’s an easy one as only one solenoid in it. Jarrod
