I've measured mine. 6.25cm offside, 6.95cm nearside. It's hardly noticeable. Measured from wheel arch to a horizontal line from the top of the tyre. I didn't measure the chassis heightfrom the floor today as I've been laying some flagstones and am a bit weary.

By the way - be careful if you use Wickes Saturday (extra charge)delivery. I paid an extra fiver for Saturday but only my bags of pebbles arrived (they rang at 7.30 and woke me up). Hidden in the small print for the flagstones was "no saturday delivery", which, had I known, would not have ordered from Wickes. So it's taken from 25th June to today to sort out a weekday delivery and I had to take a day off work. Customer services were not much use. So be warned.

I started a thread in a similar vein not long ago here - but after 1,000 miles or so through Spain and France two-up, the difference has reduced to <1 cm. I've 9 months warranty still to go on the Roadster, so I think I'll just keep an eye on it for now. thinking

OMG ! ..................I've completely got the wrong end of the stick here blush

I thought you were talking about something completely different and of a more personal nature! I dropped my pants to measure the difference........argh!!!!!!!

My CARS rear offside is also a tad lower!

I've never bothered to check my 36 y.o. car - figure wherever it's settled is probably OK. It drives well, so no problem!

Cheers,

Mine is lower on both sides but is lower at the front than at the back gloomy. We just did a comparison with a previous version of the Plus 4 at the Milan dealers and ours is lower by about 30 mm (1.25 in) under the center but noticably slopes towards the front. New front springs are on order under warranty but I suspect the back springs are low too.

At least I am finally getting someone to take our ground clearance problem seriously.

I've just crawled under the Roadster. Bear in mind that my carpet tiles may distort these figs slightly!!! - which might be slightly bigger to a hard floor.
Measured fron the chassis to the floor at the inside of the wheel centres.
Front: 15.4cm both sides.
Rear nearside: 18.6cm Rear offside: 17.7cm.
This could be down to a slightly uneven floor.
