Hi and welcome.
I have a '92 SED in a grey green tone. We think it is anthracite!

XM's do like to hiss. The front will rise last due to wieght distribution, but also try turning the steering whilst it is rising, it pops up quicker.

Sadly not all of them :cry: The S2 with antisink is a completely hiss-free zone...

It's just not right or proper :twisted:

Is the engine idle speed correct. My Cobalt car is a slow riser at the front due to the idle being a bit low. Should be sorted this w/e.

Yeah I need to do mine too. Could do with a spot of adjustment.

Welcome DERV Monkey!

What is the idle supposed to be on a 2.1 Will? Mine always rises front first but I suppose there could be many resons for that....

Mine is definitely a bit high then, more like 900.
I'll adjust it tomorrow (seems easy with the Bosch mechanical setup).
