Was it worth it to buy the parts over there with the exchange rate? Have family there but assumed parts would be even higher in the UK. We always end up with half a carry on with McVitties and flake candy bars on the way back.

How do you jack the car up without screwing up the whole air suspension? Is there any special technique?

I have done my brakes loads of times and if you only do a corner at a time it has never caused me a problem.
I think if you found one corner was low after doing it then as soon as you start the engine it will level itself to the correct height anyway.
