The Mark 8 does not have a check-valve in the air suspension system. Each air spring has a solenoid valve, which controls fill and vent of the spring. There is a fifth in the suspension compressor itself, which controls venting the system. I discovered that the seat for vent valve was corroded in my compressor, which would then leak when the system was trying to fill. This resulted in the compressor running, but the car lowering. I was able to clean the seat up for a temporary repair, but ultimately replaced the compressor.

You should have a mechanic check your window to see if it is off track. If it is not, then they will be able to replace the computer so that your window works.


How much would it be to get a valve cover gasket repaired?

should not be more than an hours labour (usually around £30 mark) you could do it yourself if you got a set of spanners/sockets as rocker gaskets are an easy diy job, undo the retaining bolts ontop of the rockercover, remove any pipes attached (remember where they go if more than 1, could use tipex to mark) when there is nothing obscuring it from being removed give it a tap with a hammer and replace the gasket, do not over tighten the gasket bolts, check tightness before removing to give you an idea of torque


1988 K2500 Chevy 4x4 5.7 misses under a load while driving but not while revving the engine?

Chances are you have a bad wire or plug causing it ; It is easy for a weak plug or wire to hit without a load ,so if it is time for a tune-up I would replace the wire set and plugs. Check your cap and rotor also. I hope this helps you. Mark Mark thanks for the help. New wires did the trick. Truck runs great. Thanks again!!!!

Where is the Schrroder Valve located on an 89 model mark vii?

Should be on the air compressor for the suspension. Under the hood on the drivers side just behind the battery is the compressor. The black cylinder with 4 air lines coming from it (these may be covered by black split-loom) is the air dryer. Look under that for the valve. It looks like a tire valve. Remember: the air bag solenoids must be open for this fill technique to work. (Key - on, Air suspension - on) If the Check Suspension light is on, the system is off.

Do you have to replace a check if the creditor did not cash it in 90 days?

Legally - No. Ethically - Yes. Once you issue a check, the receiver of the check is responsible for cashing it on time. If they fail to cash it within the 90 day mark and the check expires, legally you are not bound to replace the check. However, from a goodwill and ethical perspective, you must replace the check if the receiver missed cashing the check due to a legitimate reason.
