Is your 'valver a Daily Driver or a collectors toy?
Hey up... just wondering how I stand demographically, my bx (Phase 2 Valver) is one of my toys, its part of a car collection, but used most of the time, I was wondering if I am the only person on here who uses their valver daily or has it as part of a collection of cars?

most likely candidate is the rear height corrector - either sticking or possibly twisted on the anti roll bar. I suggest jacking the car up, putting blocks under all four wheels so the car is effectively on stilts under its wheels, and... :!: :!: ensure the car is sufficiently high that you can lie ...
