My old '02 Audi Allroad has a transponder for each wheel mounted on the body, with a grp/composite link to each lower wishbone to give feedback for the air springs. There's a pitch/yaw sensor bolted to the floor under the back seat (middle of the wheelbase, near enough) so it stays level and there's an ecu that works with the EMS so you can't lift/drop above a certain speed and controls the headlamp levelling. An expensive (£400 aftermarket) compressor in the boot well, valve block by the rear diff that are known to sieze up if not regularly used...

Very very complicated, all in the name of making it work reliably and safely under all conditions.

Which it does, really well :D

I'd like to take a butchers when I come to collect if thats OK? ;)

If the old boy is driving it that day (sold it to Dad!) otherwise I can always take a pic or two of the bits underneath.
