Picked up a bargain Ctek MXS 5.0 off Facebook marketplace today so I've stuck my new battery/batteries on charge (connected to underbonnet posts so only charging main battery?)

It definately sounds like something is not right. My L405 is a much more comfortable ride than my old L320. Kev

I certainly am. Yes, I feel potholes and drain covers in the road, but on the motorway and a roads it's a magic carpet ride. Kev 2014 L405 RR Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8 in Corris Grey 2010 L320 RRS HSE 3.0 TDV6 in Stornoway Grey |

I'm not sure which way around they work. But if it were me, I'd give it a whirl. Kev

I think they default to a soft mode, and it’s energised to stiffen the damping rate. On the Evoque, if the energise value ran between 0 and 1, iiirc the default energise value was about 0.25, and when in dynamic mode it sat at 0.5 .. so by default dynamic had a stiffer damping all the time. V8 or else ... |
