ride height
Hi does anyone know what the standard ride height should be on a mg turbo. I measured mine from centre of wheel up to the wheel arch and it varies from 170mm to 180mm over the 4 wheels but it seems low. Hoping to find somewhere to get the hydrogas topped up but cant seem to find what the correct height should be. Cheers Tommy

Re: ride height
Hi Tommy, the hydragas register has the following ride height
Austin/MG Metro 1980-1990 All models except Van Hydragas
Front 327mm ± 10mm at 17°C
Rear 321mm ± 10mm at 17°C
If you go to the site there is also a search option to see if someone on the register is close to you.

Re: ride height
Thanks for the help. Phoned a garage (from hydrogas register) about 20 miles away which does work on classic cars including mg and triumph restoration and will top up for £25 which seems ok. Also got my sizes wrong cars is at about 280 front 270 rear so roughly 50mm low which makes more sense. Cheers Tommy
