I assume he means he’d like more air on one or more corners to compensate for any gradient it’s parked on? 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

You can use the Rear Height Adjust controls to raise or lower the rear of the car, which would help fore and aft balance.

A few blocks of wood. A bit like pencil & paper, getting back to the fundamentals! Visitor - Freelander owner

I use the IIDTool for this - and have since we came out with the very first version.
It is still a little, how shall I put it, work intensive. We don't have a "one button" solution (...yet. But we may or may not be coming out with something - not tomorrow tho. Still busy with the G4). It's not nearly as work intensive as blocks of wood, rocks or even the foldable ramps people with caravans and motorhomes use, tho. I have to check for the L663 to make sure of the procedure, but on the earlier vehicles: - you put the EAS into 'build mode' to incapacitate the EAS - lay your level on your sleeping surface (I use a phone app) - and inflate each corner as needed with the 'test valves' function When you are finished camping, you exit 'build mode' and the EAS functions as before. I will check on the procedure (terminology - in earlier vehicles build mode was called transport mode) and post back here.

L663 is the same, the only difference is that the ECU/system is now called CHCM (Chassis Control Module) whereas in older vehicles it was the RLM (Ride Level Module).
Takes about 1-2 minutes to set the corner heights.

The problem with a block of wood is that you need to get out of your car, so that's not going to work. Then what if some mud would stick to the wood? You are snookered then! I bet you did not think of that did you! Boomers always think they know best! |

FWIW, that came across as weirdly aggressive!

Hey Stevemfr, Thank you so much for the feedback / I also have been in contact with Powerful UK (Simon) and he also gave me the info, that Gap Diagnostics with the IIDTool BT G4 is working on something. Just a question: are you a customer of Gap or do you have any (in-)direct link to GAP? Many Greetings |

There's a reason for the signature. I've been a part of GAP since the beginning...

For the L319 platform, a Czech company built and sold the X-Lifter, a plug and play module to let you customize ride heights, and add custom settings, etc. It also allowed individual corner adjustments to get the vehicle level, regardless of surface (within limits of course). Emailed them late last year, Jan told me they are working on a solution for the L663 platform. It's a "one button" solution for the L319, seems to me not that hard to adapt for the L663.
