Might be MEMS3, it isn't impossible to adapt the earlier manifold to take the MEMS3 sensors, just not as easy as fitting the later inlet.

Indivdulised hydroelastic spheres would only work like coilovers if you did something clever and added remote tanks for each corner.

My son used to have one that looked like that, not just looks a mess.

MG mad is on a distinguished road
I know but the ECU is clearly MEMS2J.

In order for the hydragas units to have the functionality of individually setting ride height and spring rates, you need to be able to adjust the nitrogen level, which you can't do without modding the sphere.
