Sudden Suspension Problem

[Robbocop33]

2004 mk1 c5 diesel estate,just yesterday i was singing the virtues of the car to the misses about how great the cars been,sod's law,today for whatever reason i left the house and the suspension was really bouncy?

Got out of car and rear of suspension was at the full height??No amount of putting syspension up and down rectified it.

Now i know for a fact suspension fluid is low and i have some on order,would this cause this problem,low fluid??There's no major leaks etc.Oh,and is it just normal lhm fluid?Thanks.

Sorted,little link rod with the ball and sockets either end had popped off the rear height adjuster.Popped back on after a clean but no reassuring pop when i pressed it back in,tied a little piece of wire round it in the meantime to keep it in situ.

new link rods are about a tenner from the dealers

Just a reminder, you need to have the car on axle stands if going underneath it, especially when playing with the height adjusters since the car suspension can drop to a very low level without the stands (or have it on a ramp).

I had it on axle stands and jacks! ;-)
